The Story.


Will Van Dyke, multi-million-
|aire owner of Dynecourt Manor
and a most likeable chap, is
counted a great catch by for
tune hunting mothers of mar
riageable daughters, but he re-
mains unimpressionable while
he waits for his dream girl"
who will love him not for his
millions but for himself alone.
VIM. Pugfeather has brought
his society-mad wife, his daugh-
ter Celia, and his ward, Beatrice
Forsythe, to New York. Mrs.
Pugfeather is anxious to lease
Dynecourt Manor in the secret
hope that Celia can make the ac-
quaintance of the owner and
win him. Celia is selfish and
arrogant and just the opposite
to the sweet and unspoiled Bea-
tr1ce, who does not figure in
these negotiations.
The first step in Mrs. Pug
feathers campaign is to hire a
llveried chauffeur and Beatrice
is sent to town to find one. Billy
sees her driving through the
park and, recognizing her as
his dream girl" he madly pur-
sues her. He learns her errand
and, struck by an idea, he dons
his ex-chauffeur's coat and cap,
applies for the position and is
engaged.
Batrice and Billy quickly be-
come friends, much to the alarm
of Mrs. Pugfcather. She de-
mands references, but when
Billy says his last employer fas
the rich Mr.. Van Dyke she is
satisfied.
The succeeding days find
Billy working as chauffeur.
Celia has arrived at a suburban
depot and the car is there to
meet her. Celia's baggage takes
up so much room that there is
no space for Beatrice, and Mrs.
Pugfeather tells her to take the
train home. Beatrice leaves at
this insult, and Billy, infuriat-
ed, quits his job.
Billy finds Beatrice down the
lane, almost in tears. He COM
forts her and tells her he has
been discharged. She sympa-
thetically offers to loan
him $500 = all she has.
At last Billy has found the girl
who loves him for himself alone,
so he pours out his heart and
they become engaged. The
Pugfeathers quarrel and Bea-
trice returns just in time to
hear Celia accuse Pugfeather of
sheltering a pauper. At this new
insult she resolves to go away.
AS she is leaving the house,
Pugfeather, as executor of her
fathers estate, tells her she is
heiress to two million dollars.

"LET FEM OFF" SNAPPY SHOW AT
 PARK THEATER

Let Elm OR," Fred Irwin's show. which is at the Park theatre was revelation to the representative of the Bridgeport Times last night and loom ed up as being one of the snappiest, cleanest, cleverest and musical shows 1t has been the good fortune of Bridgeporters to be presented with.
 scenically, the production is equal to any Broadway show, the costumes are novel and expensive while the company is composed Of talent which lifts 1t out of the ordinary class alto gether. In fact the entire show Is very much better and very much cleaner than many shows which have been foisted upon the public as Broad way successes and charge double the prices.
 William Wainwright, who plays the part of Deacon Swallow, is typical of the many high class legitimate actors who have invaded the burlesque field. His work is finished while his voice is good and never fails to please any audience.
 Maud Baxter held the house spell bound last night and the big applause which rewarded her gave but some idea of how loath the audience was to let her go. Hilda Bertin was an. other big favorite and came in for 2 big hand for each of the catchy mum
 bers which she presented.
 Franz Marie Lloyd went over big and had the house with her from the | start When she concluded "I'n
 Sorry Made You Cry" the house re
 warded her with big amount of wei | deserved applause. Virginia IrwiI
 was another winner and deserved thu
 big applause which she got. Harrl
 Conley kept the house in roars witt
 his clever comedy and did not have
 to resort to the suggestive at any tim,
 to put his stuff over big. George
 Wong and Frank Lu1ey were also very ! clever and got a big hand.
