WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

An immense audience was on Players in their presentation of Cap tain. Kidd Jr." and none were dis appointed with the company's offer ing for this week, either from an ar tistic or scenic standpoint. In point of real genuine comedy Captain Kidd Jr." eclipses all former efforts of the local favorites. There is not a dull moment in the play, one laugh is followed immediately by another, but withal the comedy end of the play, there are several serious moments and then some that are not of the comedy variety, that of love. Of course these scenes were between Dudley Ayers and Warda Howard, so it is only natural that one who has witnessed these cap able artists all season should say that they were delightful every minute that they were in view, and that was through the entire play.
 There were so many bright spots throughout the action of the play, that the writer finds it virtually inn possible to pick out any one character that was above the other consequently, it is only necessary to say that Cap tain Kidd Jr." was presented in an able manner by one of the best stock companies ever assembled, and that the New Lyric will undoubtedly, be filled to capacity all of this week.

PLAZA

We've seen some pretty acts at the Plaza from time to time but we have rever yet seen a more wholesome, ar tistic and satisfying offering than Suzanne Rocamora and company's, At the Ladies' Club" which head lined the bill there last evening. The cast is composed of five remarkably pretty young women and the idea of the act is really story of a night at a ladies' club arranged in song. A story in song and what a treat it was. Not only was the repertoire ideal but these clever young people had a way oI passing it out to you that made you feel that they were interested in seeing that you personally, were being leased.
 Noodles Pagan, that happy chap whom we invariably associate with the monicker that made him famous "The King of the Newsboys." He has. a new act and it's ten times as entertaining as the old one. That's saying a great deal, but it really is His spouse, whom he refers to as his company and Little Mary have parts il, the act and prove themselves com- petent supporters or feeders of the happy, carefree, talented Noodles.
 Then come Pond, Albright and Palmer, a trio of clever young fel- l-ws whose voices harmonize well ir a splendid repertoire of classy song numbers and whose comedy interpola, tions serve them well.
 The Francetti Sisters have gym rastic offering that is more thar simply clever. It is what we would call, quiet sensation.
 "I Love You" a seven act romantic drama of Sunny Italy, gay Paris, ant mad-cap Venice before the war anC starring charming Alma Rueben is thu big screen attraction.

POLES

The greatest of all desert scenes, featuring the wiles of beautiful wom- en, the delights of the tropic garden, and real heart-throbbing romance is offered at Polis in The Garden of Allah" which showed yesterday in eight big and gripping reels.
 Helen Ware is shown as 'Domini" and Thomas Santschi takes the part of Boris" Some of the scenes are said to be taken in Bridgeport. Wherever they have been taken the real desert atmosphere is present.
 F. E. Give & Co.,, presenting '"The Poor Stiff," divert with an oddity. The display of man sitting up all night in the room with a corpse, is 30 clev- erly and comically portrayed that the gruesome features of the episode are entirely forgotten. It IS a knock out.
 Walsh & Ingraham, two boys at a piano. offer novelty in song and talk Miller I& Green, a unique pair of dancers, rapidfire dialogue artists and musicians, please, and Joe Raymond adds to the festival Of run with a Nne of comedy talk that has it's appeal.
 One of the most startlingly sensa' tional of all animal acts is that pres ented last night by Pauline. In 2 cage with five enormous leopards, she whips them into submission, cajole; them into into unsual tricks and endi by beating the largest one with he bare hands and in taking him bodily off the stage. Pauline certainly ha: all the daring and nerve that he1 ITofession needs-and then some.
 Animated news is unusually inter esting because of it's wide range o subject. It not only covers the lates happenings of importance in tht United States but jumps to France anC Italy to follow the course of the Al lies in warfare against Germany.

CONSTIPATION
 INVITES DISEASE

A reliable laxative is necessary to the comfort and health of any we'll ordered household, because consti- patton is a condition that affects, in greater or less degree, practically every member of the family. When the bowels refuse to act the entire system is effected; digestion is inn paired, nerves begin to twitch, foul gases and poisons generated by de- composing substances in the intes- tines are distributed throughout the body, and often result in serious ill., ness. A prominent French scien- tist says 95 per cent. of all human disease is directly traceable to inac- tive bowels.
 More than a quarter of a century ago pr. W. B. Caldwell prescribed a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is now the standard remedy in thousands of homes. This prescription is sold by druggists for 50 cents a bottle under the name of pr. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin. A trial bottle can be obtained, free of charge, by writing to Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 456 Wash ington St, Monticello; Illinois.

O'MARA ENLISTS
 IN NAVY SERVICE

Allie O'Mara, the little shortstop from the Kerry Patch section of St. Louis, is the latest Brooklyn National League player to join Uncle Sam in his fight for worldwide democracy. Ollie, who is now living in Flatbush, waded through the snow and slush yesterday afternoon to the Brooklyn Navy yard and, after short talk with the recruiting officer, signed his contract for the big fight.
 O'Mara is the seventh Brooklyn player to enlist. The other six are: Jeff Pfeffer, Leon Ondore and Sher- rod Smith, pitchers; John Fitzsim- mons, a third baseman; John kelle- her, a shortstop, and Lew Malone, a second baseman. With O'Mara in ser vice, it is likely that "Hi'' Myers will again be stationed at second base for the Dodgers when the coming season opens, with Johnston, Wheat and Hickman in the outfield.
 Ray West, a welterweight boxer, also enlisted at the Brooklyn Navy yard yesterday.

HERE IS ANOTHER ADDED PERIL TO
 A TRIP TO DERBY


 It happened on Connecticut Go. trolley. The car left Bridgeport for Derby at S:O5 yesterday afternoon, carrying as a passenger a man whose libations caused him to be just a little unsteady. The car was frightfully cold and all the passengers shivered, with the exception of the tipsy patron, who fell into a sound sleep.
 When the train reached Derby the sleeper awoke to find his hands use- less. He was taken to a bakery and a doctor summoned hastily. An ex- animation disclosed the fact that the passengers hands had frozen while enroute to Derby. This case is cited by patrons of the company as an ex- ample of the joys of committing when one must use the trolley service.
