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

May Allison in "The Successful Ad- venture" new Metro production, is the main screen attraction at the Plaza commencing this afternoon. This marks the initiation of the Metro program at the Plaza and with such a popular and pretty little star, the inaugural should draw capacity audi ences for the three days.
 The Allies Official War Review in it's fourth installment will be another welcome attraction. These authentic scenes of activities on the American, English, French and Italian fronts should be even more interesting fol- lowing the news of the successful launching of our big counter drive, for it gives real views and news of just how the Allies are working for democracy.
 Hyman Adler and company have a big musical farce entitled "The Run aways" that will headline the vaude- vile end of the program. MT. Adler is an old vaudeville favorite and his appearance locally should create much interest and enthusiasm.
 Mildred Haywood, one of the most strikingly beautiful young comedi- ennes on the vaudeville stage; Hilton nifty song and dance revue, and More and Less, who have a surprise to of fer, complete the vaudeville rostrum.
 A Lyons-Moran comedy film com pletes the remainder Of the bill.

EXPECT TO PLACE DISABLED
 SOLDIERS AT USEFUL WORK

The Wer Department authorizes the following statement from the office of the Surgeon-General:
 Many ell-intentioned individuals have offerdA to take crippled soldiers into their service as watchmen, mes sengers, and in positions of similar character. While the spirit in which these offers are made is appreciated, they conflict with the policy of the Medical Department of the army.
 From the time a wounded soldier is taken to the field hospital he is en- courag ged to understand that the seri- ousness of his wounds will not render him worthless for useful work. The work of reconstructing him both phy- sically and mentally is carried on si multaneously.
 At the present time there are many soldiers in the army hospitals in this country who have been crippled in the course of duty. In many cases these men are receiving the prelim- mary training which will be finished

EMPIRE

Appearing in a role no less fascinat- ing than any of her previous DOT trayals, the inimitable Mary Pickford was seen in her latest Aircraft pho toplay, How Could You, Jean?" at the Empire theatre last night. Both picture and star demonstrated their popularity with emphasis, and Miss Pickford was able to add another ar tistic characterization to her famous gallery of picture portrayals. This is an excellent photoplay, based upon the story of the same name by FL eanor Hoyt Brainery, which was pub lished serially in the Saturday Eve ming Post, and which was picturized bE Francis Marion, and produced by William D. Taylor, with artistic eff feet. The picture will head the bills today and tomorrow.
 In this superb picture Miss Pick ford appears as an aristocratic young woman, who is suddenly deprived of her income through the failure of her father, and who bravely resolves to earn her own living, notwithstanding the protestations of her aristocratic friends, who harbor the belief that her fortunes may mend without her resorting to this menial occupation for a livelihood.
 The picture was well produced and the various characters were all that the most exacting taste could demand. Casson Ferguson, was excellent as Ted, while Herbert Standing, as the grouchy millionaire, presented an ad- nirable portrayal. The support gen. eraly was excellent and included spottiswoode Aitken, Fanny Midgely, Larry Peyton, Zazu Pitts Mabelle Harvey, Lucille Ward. The Morley kids were especially fine.

POLES

Today. The extreme in operatic novelty At the Poli theatre Mime. Dore's latest and greatest operatic success will come to Bridgeport for it's approval and a conquest of all lovers of high-art music. Mime. Dore's wonderful singing acts are known from Coast to Coast. It was but il few months ago that every tongue here said: That is The Greatest Singing act'' ever at Polls. Yet to- day she has accomplished something new. In The Seven Allied Song sters' which she has originated and rehearsed, she has turned all of the allied patriotic songs into operatic grandness. It is a review of the greatest marching songs this world ever has heard, and in combination sung by men and women of the high est caliber in grand opera they will afford a treat and an educational fea- ture that cannot be overlooked o1 denied it's place in the history of vau- deville's operatic supremacy.
 But this is not alone the full at traction at the PoH theatre for A complete program of photoplay and vaudeville excellence is given. Miss Bessie Barascale appears in Paralta The Pick of Pictures in their latest and best offering Who" Of noted dramatic talent, in Who" Miss Bar riscale will positively appear at her best and will give audiences every opportunity to hold their breath dur ing the sensational scenes and tho climatic situations which are evolv- ed.
 An Eagles Eye" will review the baseness of Hun diplomacy in Amer ica graphically showing the attempt to form the great Hindu Conspiracy that was to sever India from England and give German troops the chance of conquest in America by coming through Asia and Mexico to the Mississippi river.
 Feature acts in vaudeville brought especially to Bridgeport as special added attractions to the already great program include Sid Townes and com- pany in pianologue entrancing. Mr Townes, whose wide reputation pre- cedes him to Bridgeport, is ably as- sisted in his act by a singer of note- worthy prominence who will be rec iognized by all musical comedy follow CTS Moss and Frey, colored char acter impersonators and comics, will add the rolic of laughter that is promised. Athos and Reid, mar and woman, singers exceptional, clos ing with delightful skating oddity and eccentricity promise some pleas ant moments for audiences Jag gers and Johnson offer startling novelty of the cubist conception, A Hearst-Pathe news is added for the educational value and the patriotic spirit of loyalty offered by the ele- ment in America and in France.
