PLAZA

Elaine Hammerstein starring in the thrilling true to life drama of the Kentucky feud regions "Her Man, commencing today, will be the big at- traction at the Plaza theatre for the remainder of this week. This extra ordinary feature brings story of a gently-bred New York society girl who voluntarily gives up her existence as social butterfly in order to assist her grandfather's people in the Ken lucky regions. The production is in- deed a sensational one and Miss Ham merstein, beauty of the stage and screen, as Juanita Holland, goes back to the primeval instincts of her sex defending her man as tigress de- fends her cubs.
 Mannon Four, one of vaudevflle's most popular quartets, will be heard in a repertoire of new songs among which will be some of the most beau tifui classics
 Canaris and Cleo with their master minds of magic will show some startling wonders from magic land. | Dainty and deluring Marie Gardiner will be heard in review of clever songs and comedy Scamp and Scamp, a pair of far-famed acrobats, will per form some daring, devilish and in comprehensible stunts.
 Gaumont Weekly and Post Tray efogue always an added feature, not only brings Americas news, but di- rect news of the whole world to close close an all-star photoplay and vaude- vile bill which will be shown at the | Plaza theatre the remainder of this week.
 Commencing Monday and for seven II days Ambassador James W. Gerard s world famed story, "My Four Years in
 Germany will be shown for the first time at popular prices in any city at this theatre.
 The Germans before the war, as every one knows today, made of es- pionage a great national understand. ing. To be successful in this branch
 of service, it is unnecessary to gC very minutely into detail of psychol-
 ogy, and we must all admit that the
 Germans have thoroughly anad scien'
 tifically organized their entire sys tenn. With what success this was at tended the Allies can testify. Spying
 is a very essential ingredient of Prus- 
 sian character, and this natural ten dency has been carefully cultivated
 so that no influence of personal hon
 or or feeling shall be considered i
 1t is for the national advantage tC disregard 1t. Their military spying i as perfect as such work can be, mar red occasionally by the contempt the! feel for other nations in militar! masses. It is the German boast, anC
 we believe a legitimate one, that the! ,, know America better than do Ameri | | cans, but their error is believing tha in knowing America they know tn Americans themselves. Americas en try into the war proves this fact.
 Ambassador James W. Gerard ''My Four Years in Germany" posi- : lively the original and only authoriz 2 ed picturization of this wonderful ex perience will be shown at the Plaz seven days commencing Oct. '. Thre shows daily and regular prices.

LYRIC

Snap, ginger and a plentiful supply of real dramatic art marks the suc- cess of Common Clay" the leading problem play of the present day which is being presented to crowded houses by the PoH players all this week. Since the opening of the sea- son the Lyric theatre has not been called upon to handle so large an at tendance as those which are filling this popular playhouse twice daily and before the end of the week the management expects to make use of the s. R. o. sign.
 Common Clay'' is the production in which Jane Cowl was made fam ous over night when 1t was presented on Broadway and brought the author Cleve Kinkead, a Cleveland, O., news paper man from obscurity into the limelight of popularity. The charac- ter of Ellen Neal, the housemaid about whom the entire story centers, is played in a charming manner by Miss Alice Clements who was once the understudy of Jane Cowl. Miss Clements is particularly forcefuI dur ing the famous courtroom scene which is one of the strongest that has ever been seen on the American stage.
 Others in the cast are also good and there Is not an idle moment throughout. The audiences have been moved from tears to laughter and vice versa and are simply carried away by the power of the many start ling situations which follow each oth- CT in rapid succession. Although not called upon for any particularly diff ficult work Clay Clement the leading man succeeds in injecting enough pep and ginger into the character of the rich mans son who is to blame for Ellen's downfall after she tries to re- form, that makes it a real part and worth much to the production.
 Next weeks the players will be seen in screahingly funny farce entitled | the ''Unkissed Bride" This Is her aided as the funniest thing ever pre- scented and as produced by the Play CTS will furnish laughing matter for any number of persons all next week Sunday night at the usual photoplay concert a double feature bill will be given. In addition to the main fea- ture, Jack Pickford and Louise Huff, there will be a two reel Charlie Chap lin feature.

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

Today the bill at Polls theatre will be changed and the program which has been prepared promises to be one of the most popular that has ever been presented at the famous play house.
 The vaudeville division is headed by a mammoth Scotch Musical singing and dancing revue staged by Tom Mo- Kay and including vaudeville's great est and newest novelty bagpipe and drum jazz band. This big act comes direct to Polrs from the land of heather and will warm the hearts of Bridgeporters no matter what their nationality may be.
 Conceded to be among the clever est and most fascinating of sister acts the King Sisters will undoubtedly make a great hit with Poli patrons on account of the originality of their of fering and the clever manner in which they put it over.
 Hector, the educated dog is regard ed by scientists as being the greatest canine marvel of the age and shows an intelligence which is startling. This act will be a great favorite with children and grown-ups as we'll as is l DOuIlu LO pl0dSS III OI1O6SpOII eS WGlA as in New York where he created a furore.
 1 Burns and Kissen, Hebrew come dians, will create barrel of fun with their novel and clever comedy while Gray and Byron, will present novel act with special scenerey and judging by their performances in other houses they ought to go over here with bang.
 Bridgeporters will be treated to a photodrama of the most superior kind in "Vive La France" in which Dorothy Dalton is starred. This man. moth master picture is said to be the greatest production of it's. kind ever presented to the American public and shows the popular player to ex- ceptionaI, advantage as she has wide field for her best dramatic work.

WEST END

Those who love- big fights in mo- ton pictures will find satisfaction in Riddle Gswne," William S. Hart's new Aircraft picture, showing at the West End theatre tonight and to- morrow night. There is struggle between the hero and the chief villain that is one of the most exciting that has ever been seen on the screen. Of course MT. Hart triumphs, but not until he has fought to the finish, al- most.
 There is love in the story, and the wonderful free spirit of the great open West. It Is rugged and yet never for an instant Is 1t lacking in p1ausibility of sufficient motive

CHEAP CLOTHES !. NO ECONOMY IN
 PRESENT TIMES

A great many people are meeting Nhe cost of living by buying cheaper sStuff. There are plenty of men who Ealways bought s4 shoes, who are still fpaying only that amount Three years kago you could get a good shoe for Tthat money. It was cut out of the sbest part of the animals skin, though possibly the skin was so thick that St had to be split and some of the fiber TDemoved. But 1t was an honest shoe and would wear.
 ' Now the man who buys a $4 shoe, unless it is made up in rough style FDut of coarse leather and with little labor, will probably get one that is cut out of loose portions of the animals Ehide, 50 it will soon crack and go to pieces.
 The same principle applies in buy ling clothing. With the prevailing Sstyle for clothes of rough texture, it Is possible for cheap clothes to pre- fgent very creditable appearance at
 first Dyes and finish cover many de- fects for a short time. But cheap goods will not wear.
 ! The best policy at the present time 4S to go to reliable home dealer, and psk him to give you a suit or pair of Nhoes or whatever you want, that he tcaD personally recommend as having Egood wearing qualities. The dealers Iall know well. enough what will wear and what won't They have. cheap goods, because some people won't take ganything else. But they don't give &hedr personal endorsement to any thing, unless they know the real goods Fare there.
 Then having bought good article, teven If at rather high cost you kcan well expect to wear 1t longer than pFou used to. Public sentiment recog- tnizes this as a time for economy. One does not feel so much ashamed of slightly shabby clothing as a few years ago. Everybody is doing it.
 Dne's bill for. clothing thus need not be very much more than in ordinary
 times, particularly if you keep watch
 bf the newspaper advertising to see tTho is offering the bargains.

In answer to that question we want to answer most em- phatically yes; and it is gladness for health restored by the use of Lydia B.

The present financial policy was

than their more favored brethren. To
counteract this defect and to even up

disapproved by 2 per cent. of that
same number that the tithing system

eliminates all extra assessments ex-
