PLAZA

If you're interested in the '1big
stuff" in the movies and most folks of
today are, you'll plan on a trip to the
Plaza the latter half of the current
week where 1.-THE Sign Invisible" is to
be given presentation in conjunction
with the usual vaudeville program.
The Sign Invisible" is the accom-
plshment of that directing genius,
Edgar lewis, and introduces the prin-
cipal characters of the famous YER
sion of Rex Beach's great story, THE
Barrier" Mitchell Lewis, whose por-
trayal of the half-breed in both 'TThe
Barrier" and 1.-The Bar Sinister" Gre
ated a veritable sensation in film cir
cles some time ago, has a like role in
The Sign Invisible which is vivid
and compelling adrama of the great
northland.
Emmett Welchs Ministries, one of
the highest salaried minstrel organ
izations in the realfs of variety, will
headline the vaudeville bill with Card
ner and Hartman in a whirlwind of
laughable nonsense; Fisk Scott and

pleasure. Guy Weadick, champion
rider of America, and Miss F1orenz

In photoplay there is a patriotic in
terest thrown from the animated news

LYRIC

All the critics combine to praise the
Poll Players performance of "Pals
First" as produced at the Lyric thea
tire last night amidst one of the most
pleasing scenic displays that has yet
greeted Lyric patrons.
1t is true that the cast of Poll play
ers have been well cast and that they
are etter-perfect as well as character
perfest in even the minor details.
With both Dudley Ayres, Polls lead
ing man and Harold Kennedy, the
popular character comedian co-star-
ring in the parts created by William
Courtney and Thomas A. Wise, there
is a novelty to "Pa1s First" which is
naturally pleasing.
Based upon a generous theme, in
volving a touch of the melo-dramatic,
and a continuous run of comedy clev-
erly introduced, it is a play which
appeals to all classes. Throughout
four acts it is a surprise play, even
at the end when the greatest surprise
of all is sprung.
Every phase of acting is seen and
well exploited by the large cast of
players who have been used in Offer
ing pals First and for variety of
interpretive effect no play similar to
this has yet been produced at the
Lyric. :,
Among the Bridgeport stock favor
ties seen with the popular players al
ready mentioned are. Miss Warda
Howard, who takes the Fart of
Jean" Judge Logan's niece; Arthur
Buchanan and Carrie Lowe in char
acter; Louis Gordon as the Judge "
Dan Davis, Edith Spencer, Samuel
Godfrey J. Francis Kirk and Aims.
worth Arnold.
The Lyric will be the end of the
road this week for all lovers of dra-
matte reality touched by the light of
Comedy, and their quest will not be
unavailing at the beautiful little Pity
house.

IRELAND REPORTS
ARE EXAGGERATED

London, Feb. 81 - Much promi-
nence is given the situation in Ireland
by the morning newspapers in con-
nection with the official announcement
that troops have been sent to assist
the police in County Clare. Various
acts of lawlessness are reported.
Some correspondents assert that
unrest is deepening in the west and
south of Ireland and that the situa-
ton is getting beyond control. On
the other hand, the Daily News pub
fishes a dispatch from Limerick that
there is no cause for alarm. 1t adds
that arrangements have been made
to cope with any trouble and that re.
ports of disorder are exaggerated.
