Boston, Nov. 12-The Jews Of the country have rallied to put across the great United War Work drive for funds, and their own particular orga- nization has entered gladly in the Ma tional Union with the six other big war relief bodies. Jewish money and aid has been pou~ed forth in all other war campaigns, # will be forthcotn- ing as usual iu this one, according to Louis Kirstein, the Boston mer- chant who is head of the National Board of Awards, which handles all government contracts for clothing for army and navy.
 'Boston and New England Jews are again called upon to manifest their patriotism and liberaIity,' said Mr. Kirstein, land as heretofore will en- thusiasticaIly respond to this appeal to do their full share toward helping our boys lover there," who are fight ing side by side-Catholic, Protestant and Jew-for democracy to secure peace for the world.

WEST END

Of the personal experiences fin the World War that have been published in the last two or three years those of Harold Peat, known as Private Peat" have engaged public attention almost exclusively. MT. Peats two years in the trenches, of which he speaks in his famous lecture, 1.-TWO Years fin Hell and Back With Smile" were experiences allotted to few and they have been visualized stirringly by Paramount in the photoplay Private Peat" in which MT. Peat is the star, and which will be displayed at the West End theatre tonight.
 From the hour when the chief actor in the photoplay, who is clerk in a country store, has his dream of a Hun invasion of America with all its attending horrors, until he enlists and sees service in France, scenes of eX- citement follow each other in quick succession. "Sleuths," a two-reei Mack Sennett comedy and Universal War News will also be shown.

WILL NOT SLACKEN UP
 ON SHIPPING PROGRAM

Washington, Nov. 12.---Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board, who will sail for England soon to discuss shipping questions with the allied na- tions, said yesterday that there was no intention of slackening up the shipbuilding program or abandoning any important branch of it because of the cessation of hostiIties. It will be carried on into 1920, he said, along the lines planned for the war period.
 Overtime work and Sunday work will be stopped, but it is expected that the increased efficiency of the employees will maintain output at about the present rate. Extensive plans also will be continued at about the present rate. Extensive plans also will be continued to obtain and train men necessary to man the great fleet of ships which will be completed and it is possible that additional training ships of the Shipping Board will be obtained. There are now F.
 It is estimated that at least 15O, 900 men will be needed for the American merchant marine. A large number of these may be obtained from recruits now in the service.

PARK

Girls, girls, girls-that ts1ls the story of Peter s. ClarlTs "Oh, GirP' company which is billed for three days appearance at the Park theatre, beginning with Thursday matinee. While the show Is, of course, bur lesQue with all that burlesque means, the girls have been given first atten- ton so that the production deserves first prominence as beauty aggrega- tion- These girls are the very high est type of beauty and they are the very acme of dancing and singing ability That they might be seen at their best, they have been given some unusual costume creations to wear and a number of unique musical numbers and dances which display their superior skill to most choristers in intricate terpsichorean work. Those who go to see this production will find that the same high quality prevails in the chorus ranks which prevails in the various other departments.

Behind M5HE FootIights
PLAZA

Just so much as this Is a big week in the history of the country so is the vaudeville and photopIay bill at the Plaza theatre the first half of this week big. It will be shown almost continuously today so that you can drop in at any time and see the whole show either before or after the parade.
 Tom Browns Big Musical Revue heads the vaudeville attraction with cast of six talented and well known musicians. Their act was appreciated to such an extent by yesterdays audiences that they were called for six encores. Their ability to play the vio- lin, piano, saxophone, trombone and Miss Marion Claire's offering of songs in three voices was by far the best ever offered to Bridgeport audiences.
 On the screen Zane Grey's story, ''The Rainbow Trail" in which Will liam Farnum takes the lead and per forms many daring and dangerous feats was shown. The picture is com plete in itsself and is also a sequel to Riders of the Purple Sage" which was shown at this theatre a few weeks back. It tells an interesting story of the practices of the Mormans in the 18th century and reveals the secrets of the City of Sealed Wives, one of the most terrible institutions ever es- tablished by man. It is one of the greatest Western dramas ever screen end and received a royal welcome by the Plaza audiences yesterday.
 Simko and Yoski offered a novelty risley and perch act that Is far above the average. Numbered among their feats were many that are original and entirely new.
 Wilbur Held, a famous tramp comedian, was right there when it came to making his audiences laugh. He has new line of tramp comedy monoIogues that made laughter in fectious.
 Arthur and Lea Bell introduced a ventriloqual act that was bright and l clever and added it's share to the en- | tertainment.
 The Gaumont Weekly showed pie ture of our boys in the various train | ing camps in this country, French of- I ficials in conference and of the recent | subway disaster in New York city. The latest release of the Official War 1 Review concluded a bill at the Plaza | theatre for the first half of this week showing today have been arranged so ] that everybody can get a chance to see the entire performance.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

When the eighth annual egg laying contest at Storrs was officially started on the morning of November 1st, there were six entries which had not yet arrived, but before the close of the week the entire 100 pens were in the houses which they are to occupy for the coming twelve months. AS in the previous competitions each pen contains ten birds. The 1000 hens are distributed geographically as fol- lows: Connecticut, 230; New York, 210; New Jersey, 130; Massachusetts, 130; Rhode Island, 60; Canada, 60; Pennsylvania, 40; New Hampshire, 30; Illinois, Oregon and Washington, 20 each; Maine, Kentucky, Michigan, Ne braska, and California, 10 each. Clas- sified by breeds there are 500 White Leghorns, 150 Barred Rocks, 100 White Wyandottes, 100 Rhode Island Reds, 50 White Rocks, 300 Buff Wy andottes, 20 Rhode Island Whites and 10 each of Buff Rocks, Oregons, Black RhineIanders and Blue Andalu- sians.
 At the close of the first week only one Connecticut pen was among the six to get honorable mention. A pen of Rhode Island Reds from Laurel Hill farm, Bridgton, R. l., was first with a production of 29 eggs. A pen of White Wyandottes from the same farm tied for second place with a pen of White Wyandottes belonging to Obed G. Knight of Bridgeton, R. L, by laying 27 eggs. Third place for the week was won by a pen of White LeghOrns belonging to c. Rasmussen of Dover, N. J., with a yield of 26 eggs. A pen of White Wyandottes | belonging to O. L. Magrey of Middle bury Conn.,, tied for fourth place with a pen of White Leghorns from L. E.. | Ingoldsby, of Cooperstown, N Y; 1 each pen laid 22 eggs.
 The total production for all pens
 amounted to 758 eggs which is at
 the rate of 10.8 per cent. This num- l Der of eggs is A greater than the | average production for the first week
 of each of the five preceding contests
 and in only one year has this num-
 Der been exceeded. White Plymouth
 Rock No. 192, belonging to H. A. Will
 son, of Hollis N. H., was the only
 bird that succeeded in laying seven 1 eggs for the week. On the other
 hand, there were 699 individuals which failed to produce even one egg
 Thus it. will be seen that the 301
 average of 2.5 eggs each, or at the
 rate of 36 per cent.

 Stand on Common Platform
 "In this drive Catholic, Protestant and Jew will stand on a common platform in welfare work, as they have in taking up arms. We shall respond to this cause as we have to others of a like nature. We must for the sake of maintaining the high morals of our men give to the extent which our conscience and pocketbook will permit. s "As our boys in Europe are fighting side by side, so must we here who are doing what little we can to make their lot easier, work side by side in their behilf and to assure them that our hearts are with them in their sacrifices"

GENREB PRESSING. Who is yon genrel stan5ng there With a soldier hat down over his hair And a complexion sunberned good as
 paint? Its Genrel Pershing, darn if it aint! His uniform fits perfeck, And he stands so strate and tall, That if anybody e1ts tried to stand
 that way, Backwards would be how they would
 fall. He has a frown upon his face, Because hes always thinking, And he takes this war so serious He wouldent think of winking. He has little mushtash And his ferest name is John J., And wen he pursues the Germins They feel the opposite of gay. He is he'd of the American Army, And everybody knows that fack, So no matter wat he says to anybody, Nobody sasses him back. o who is that genrel standing there With soldiers salooting him with exter
 care? Don't you know him? Wy, G wizz, That's Genrel Pershing, that's who it
 is!

LYRIC
(RevieM.(


 The traffic of souls, and the amass- ing of riches through this nefarious trade is the theme of "A Girl With out a Chance" played at the Lyric this week. The utter disregard of woman's sanctity by a government employe, and the story of how he finally was instrumental in bringing about the detention of his own daugh- ter in disorderly resort is told in a gripping, stirring play.
 Miss Glen ents in the dual role of zerlina Mazetta and Charlotta Baroni, thrilled the audience which packed the theatre to the doors, by her req IIstic portrayal of the wonged woman Ind the girl whose downfall was sought by SO many sinister int1u- ences-
 Clay Clement as a clever reporter scored another success to his credit.
 Ida Nave in the role of Mag Bur ton, whose sturdy resistance to the ! schemes and plots of those who i would have sold her into worse than slavery called forth many rounds or | applause. Her encouragement of a weak brother and her self-denlal ana efforts to help a persecuted anu weaker girl in last nights play was bv far Miss Maye's best work since her debut in Bridgeport
 Waiter Marshall as Tom Kerrlgan the betrayer of women, and the plot ter who amassed riches at the eX- pense of the liberty and servitude ol young girls, was at his best MT Marshall has become general faV- orite with the local theatregoers' ano will be all the more popular for ms efforts in this weeks offering.
 Jack McGrath and May Hurst are always greeted by applause, and while their parts this week do not call 1ol any very strenuous effort on then part. they were very well received II their roles of the weak and erring brother and the notorious dive-keep' CT.
 If you like a play which is a revela' tion in the workings of the under world, you had better see "The Cir Without a Chance"

WHY ADVERTISED
 STORES SUCCEED.

Because people have formed the habit of looking first in the newspa- pers to see what bargains are offer ed.
 These are not times when one starts on hit or miss shopping trips. Prices are high, and people do not buy things until they absolutely have to, or until they are offered some bar gain which they believe has special value.
 When a woman finds that she needs a certain article, the first thing she does is to look over the newspaper advertising. She makes a note of the stores that make special offerings in that line. She visits those stores first. By the time they have hauled out their stock for her to look at the chance that a non-advertised store can get her business on that purchase is about equal to the value of a last years cattle show ticket.
 And in looking over the advertising for things they want, most women find other things offered at prices which they believe it is economy to accept

THE WORLDS OLDEST PANCAKE.


 Gridd1e cakes-"the kind mother used to make'-may have been de- 1icious for breakfast, but they weren't original The original-the torilla- dates back to the days of the ancient Aztecs in Mexico and now, hundreds of years later, is still made in it's or jginal way.
 How the native women grind and knead the corn, how they form the cakes with their bare hands and cook them in the sun, is an interesting part of his latest Travel Festival, to be pre- sented at the Park theatre on Tues day and Wednesday, Nov. 121S, with matinee on Wednesday.
 Other features of MT. Howe's new Travel Festival include Up in the Air With the Marines" the most sen Eational aviation pictures ever filmed; a thrilling canoe trip through the South American jungles to Kateteur Falls; exquisitely colored scenes of peaceful southern France; a life-like reproduction in clay of the popular Red Cross poster, Greatest Mother in the World"; a unique freak" film, called Scenic Distortions" which reveals a number of grotesque and puzzling effects, and Capturing Wild Animals Alive in the Rockies" in which 8 daring hunter demonstrates his skill and nerve in roping black bears and other ferocious beasts of the wilds with only a lariat as a weapon.
 The program will, of course, in clude Mir. Howe's newest animated caricatures, for which the Howe en. tertainment is famous. These new screen cartoons are the funniest and most entertaining yet turned out by the Howe animated art laboratories.
