PLAZA

To-day" one of the greatest is not
the greatest dramatic success that
has ever been f1lmized is on tapis at
the Plaza theatre for the first half of
the week with Florence Reed in the
stellar role.
Not only that, but the vaudeville
program is one that will take the
town by storm. Heading the bill are
the Three Kelos, the fastest and clev-
crest acrobatic act in show business
and it's a cinch they'll be favorites
from the start.
Jack Rose and Company played one
of the larger vaudeville theatres of
the metropolis last week and scored
a record enjoyed by few turns by be-
ing brought back for not less than
four encores at every performance
during the engagement. Rose puts
over nut" comedy and he handles it
admirably.
Folls Sisters and Leroy are old
timers and beginners and their new
skit entitled THE Ginger snap" will
be one of the brightest spots on the
bill while Ryan and Ryan who have
practically encircled the globe since
last we saw them, will offer their
Scotch and eccentric dancing spec

WHAT'S GOING ON TN THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLT'S

Americas greatest dancing act, in
which Bridgeport boys and girls par
ticipate is to be seen at the Poll thea
ire today when The Lovenberg Sisters
and Neary Brothers appear. These
whirlwind dancers, for many years
appearing under the title six Ameri
can Dancers" are too well known to
need formal introduction. They COM
bine all the latent swiftness of the
projectile and their beauty Of dancing
is Incompatible. They will give zest
to the first half performance of
vaudeville and photoplay offered at
the big house.
Master Jack Connors, famous star
Juvenile of the Fox Films appears
both in person and on the screen. He
does a most appealing act of song
and dance but his feature showing
will be in woman and the Law the
big R. A. Walsh screen cinemelo-
drama, based on the famous Jack De
Saulles staying and the trial Of his
beautiful wife upon charges of muir
der. The picture brings Master Con-
nors before Bridgeport in the char
acter of the boy in the case around
which the whole plot revolves. 1t is a
uOuDl6 dLLTdCllOIl l1ldJ lAlo vi l11eIll-
agement has provided. None and es-
pecially women should miss this Of
fering.
On the screen as a special added at
traction also will be shown the third
episode of German treachery in Amer
lea, under the caption THE Eagles
Eye" In this episode the attempt
to blow up an entire fleet of Uncle
Sans navy is graphically depicted
under the direction of former Chief
William ]. Flynn of the United States
Secret Service.
Other star attractions are ooh You
Devil big musical comedy with
plenty Of girlish faces, music and
scenery to accompany; Marguerite &

LYRIC

Pronounced by theatrical critics in
all parts of the country as the fun
NEST of farce comedies, and contain
ing an element of human interest that
appeals to the most skeptical, Moth
ing But The Truth" the play that
made William Collier famous, will
open the week at the beautiful Lyric
theatre with a matinee today. Moth
ing But The Truth" is truly a comedy
of unusual worth and it's laughter
producing lines, sldlfully manipulated
by the versatile Poll Players, will in
crease in popularity during it's pres
entation in this city. The production
is replete with snappy action and
there is not an idle moment through
out. The laughs follow each other in
such rapid succession that the audi
ence is convulsed in one continuous
roar of hilarity.
Making the success of the play
doubly sure, Dudley Ayres, the pop
ular and versatile leading man Of the
Poll Players, will portray the leading
role in his usual magnetic manner.
Mr.. Ayres has been seen in comedy
for several weeks and at no time can
it be said that he has failed to add to
the lines in such a way that his audi
ences have shown their approval by
their continuous applause. Mr.. Ayers
will interpret the character of Bob
Bennett, who makes a wager that a
man can get through the world with
out making enemies by telling Moth
ing But The Truth" His success in
this effort is the means Of a success
sion of humorous situations which the
most morose person cannot fail to
arouse. AS an interpreter of high
comedy Mr.. Ayers has scored and
those who have not had the good for
tune ito witness one of his perform
ances will do we'll to take advantage
of this opportunity.
Assisting MIR. Ayres is the full corr
pany, augmented by several extra ar
fists, making a complete cast. Sew
eral beautiful scenic effects have been
prepared by the artist at the Lyric
and an excellent performance, Of the
kind which made the Lyric famous,
is assured. Miss Warda Howard will
play opposite Mr. Ayres and her APP
titude at adapting herself to almost
any situation will prove Of wonderful
assistance. All in all it is a produc-
ton that everyone should see and it
is suggested that those who have not
yet reserved their Sc ats do so at once.

that humorous team, potash & Perl
