 The entire store was turned into a veritable garden with the huge masses of flowers which were sent to mark the opening. Music was provided by Spieders orchestra and each man who visited the store was presented with cigars and a souvenir. E. J. Minor, of Ash Creek, has the distinction of being the first person to buy suit of clothes in the new store and so excellently are the thousands of suits dispIayed and so good is the service that he found exactly what he wanted in less than two minutes.

PARK

'"The Man Who Stayed at Home," which has lately scored a sensational success at the 18th Street Theatre, New York. comes to the Park theatre for two nights commencing Tuesday, Sept. IT, with matinee Wednesday. The great war has been the inspira- tion of many plays with successes among them an exception. "The Man Who Stayed at Home" is the only play in this class that has survived more than one theatrical season. This is. perhaps, due to the fact that the story does not touch upon the fatal effects of the great conflict but rather bases it's suspense and thrills on the romantic, heroic side. It is described as a detective story, a bat tie of wits between the secret service forces of two warning countries. It was a success in this country even before the entrance into hostilities and it's popularity is now greatly en- hanced from. the fact that the sub ject matter deals directly with sub marine raids upon troop transports en route to France. The play was | first produced in London, and then revived first at the Copley Square theatre, Boston, where it ran for 34 | weeks
 The sensational success of '"The Man Who Stayed at Home'' is due largely to the fact that William Moore Patch, the producer, has changed the dialogue of the piece so that almost every other line deals with the pass age of the American troops through Britain and the splendid work the American destroyer fleet is doing in British waters under the direction o1 Admiral Sims. All of this affords some extraordinary opportunities fol speeches that are crammed full of the problems of the hour. The climax o1 the drama Is the sensational denun- citation of Germany and German
 methods on the part of the EnglisT Secret Service man who has unmask
 ed the German apies. In this speecI
 the German spy is told what England
 and America, in particular, and tn, world in general think of "kultur'
 and it's nefarious crimes. This neve
 fails to bring the audience to it's fee
 in a wild burst of enthusiasm.
 The New York cast from the 48tl
 Street theatre will enact the play a
 the Park theatre. It includes amonj
 others. Albert Brown, Rose Coghlan Katharine Kaelred, Malcolm Dunn Louise Muldener, Reggie Sheffield an, Lenora Phelps.

WHAT'S GOING ON INTHE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
PLAZA

A lasting remembrance and last opportunity is offered today at the pretty Plaza theatre to witness one of the most interesting and clever pro- grams of photoplay and vaudeville which has been shown during the past fortnight at any Bridgeport theatre.
 Our own boys fighting with the first army of America in Europe with the supreme chief, General Pershing, at army field headquarters, airplane bat talions in training, the great army of registrants proving their identity and many other current happenings in America of interest to every man woman and child in Bridgeport These are shown in the official war review published and shown at the Plaza theatre under government sanction.
 Also appearing on the Plaza screen, always paramount with the latest and the best in featuring photoplay is Florence Reed, the talented dramatic actress in "The Struggle Everlasting" This is a fascinating, furious and fear less attempt at showing moral regen- eration of a woman born in the noun tains of Kentucky and knowing no code of morals except her own ca l prices. It aocentuates the vast diff | ference between the beautiful lands | of nature and the artificial creation of the city and It's life. | On the stage there is a diversity o1 cleverness and novelty and a master mind of ventriloquism. In Frank Gaby, America has found its super 1 eminent star, a man who can throw the voice to every corner of the big auditorium and yet make people be. lieve that the sound naturally come: from that quarter instead of from the man upon the stage. This one fea
 ture should not be missed.
 Other featured acts of vaudeville include the famous trio Palfrey, Hal and Brown In comedy and artistic ec
 centricities and specialties in whici
 each member excells, The cigar
 swallowing offering included in thi
 act is one of the most daring ant
 dangerous displays ever given upon stage, Folletts monkeys in ful
 stage appearance are excruciatingl funny. Crowley and Burke offer har
 mony and original dialogue for nor
 laughter and again on the screen
 Christie comedy sends audiences ava with keen sense of delight at havin
 been amused, startled and instructe
 by two hours In the pretty and pleas
 ant Plaza where discriminating au
 diences find rest and comfort.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-Marshal
Foch has been authorized by the United
States and the allies to receive repre-
sentatives Of the German government
