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

Musical comedy with snap, color and exquisite rhythm will greet the patron at the Poli theatre today. "Olives," latest of the Marty Brooks productions will be the vehicle of pleasure at Polls.
 A cast of 10 classy favorites from the 1:::0w-shops and the cabarets of Broadway have been combined in this novelty by MT. Brooks, including Frank Sinclaire and Clifford Dixon, singers and comedians of the first rank, who will be remembered here tofore in Bridgeport as the leads in "Six Peaches and a Pair" Pretty Myrtle Law1er, singing comedienne, has been cast in the leading female part. The chorus is outstanding be- cause of it's beauty, multiplicity of costume change and individual talent of each member. "Olives" has a gen. timely interesting romance and com- edy theme which is well sustained.
 Another added attraction to the varied vaudeville program at Polls is A. c. Faulkner, noted journalist, cartoonist and imitator of President Wilson. This patriotic and humorous act has no duplicate in vaudeville. It is unique.
 Jane and Katherine Lee, the two famous Fox Riddles who made you laugh in previous screen produc- tions, again convulse audiences with their antics in American Buds '' another of the patriotic masterpieces of screendom.
 Cook and Rothert, two versatile acrobatic, dancing and singing ex- ploiters offer a diversion.
 Jack and June Mclaughlin, in a delightful and delirious, classy danc- ing exhibition, thrill and astound by their evolution and the beauty ot costume.
 Lewis and Leopold, two of Song lands Merry Men, bring to Bridge port the latest lyrics from Gotham Poli's latest release of animated news discloses the conduct of the French armies in Italy and their con- quest of the German hosts. Thousands of German prisoners are seen passing to the military concentration camp ir the rear of the battle lines.

LYRIC

With every seat taken and an overflow of several hundred who are forced to stand throughout the per ft rmance 'Mam'zelle," the frivolous trivolity continues to score a decided Srccess at the Lyric theatre. Since '>heir Introduction so Bridgeport thea '-afTt;4--rs the Pol Players have never NeforO received s4 reception similar to that rendered tnem this week, and tb eir work is highly commendable.
 "%sm'zelle" has a laugh in every line and from ths time the curtain goes up the auditors are kept in an elnSSt continuaI uproar.4 During the greater pars of the second act the Players are in the audience which is in itself something unusual, and their work from the front o. the stage as well as upon it is so entirely different from anything ever before attempted that it is well worth special mention. This is particularly true of the efforts of Miss Warda Howard, who is seen in the title role. Miss Howard is perfectly at home in the part and her singing as well as her dancing are the signal for en- core after encore.
 Although Dudley Ayers has but a minor part in the production ht makes the most of 1t and proves an able assistant to Miss Howard. Har~ old Kennedy, the Players versatile comedian, is seen in a. role to which he is especially adapted. As an oc- cupant of a box seat from which he constantly interrupts the progress of the play, going so far as 70 step upon the stage to tell the leading actress Of his love. Every move he makes is the signal fer fresh outburst ot laughter.
 Louis Gorden and Gladys Knorr the ingenGe, are the favorites during the specialties. MT. Gordon sings several songs, and Miss Knorr scores a decided hit both with her singing aI the dance with a soldier boy ia khaki. All in all it is a play that none should miss and the most de- pressing attack of the blues will dis appear before the play has got fairly started.

 Rain is waiter in the form of rain. It comes frum the clouds. landing hutch lighter than enybody elts cood falling that far. Wen there is no clouds in the sky there is no rain. and vica virtue.
 Wen it starts to rain in sumnir, people say, The farmers will be glad to get this rain. 1 Wen it starts to rain in wintir they don't say eny- thing.
 | Wen it looks like rain and people take their umbrellas with them wen they go out, it genrelly don't, but wen it looks like rain and they don't, it genrelly does.
 I Wen a boy sets out in the rain he always wears his rUbbers perviding his father or mother sees him going out, but he wood consider it a dis krace to put them on without being told. Most boys get umbrellas forced on them for Krissmas or berthday presents and in about 2 weeks they either brake them or elts cant find them, proving umbrellas seem to be more usefil1 gifts than what they reely are..
 | Horses stand out in the rain as if they dident know weather it was rain l ing or not, proving that if you half to do sumthing you mite as well try to look as if you wood jest as 1eef be doing that as enything eltS.

-D p O | w 0. LETTER FROM GROVER CARNES


 Following is letter from Grover Carnes to his parents at Dewitt. He lis brother of Mrs Ed Bucks, of Newport, and was stationed at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. c.
 Dear Mother and Father:
 Yesterday the calm of perfect afternoon was broken by the keen notes of officers call. It attracted attention by the unusualness of the hour As the enveloping atmosphere was pierced, all hearts were set ashore, From every direction the quickening steps of officers led to- ward headquarters Multiplied sug- gestions passed between the men of rank. Our conflab was short As quickly the officers returned to their irrespective charges, they unbarred to us doorway which lead to truth I must also tell to you We were sent to our tents for a hurry-up "show down" inspection, followed by a rolled pack
 Sharply at 4 a. m. today the first notes of Reveille greeted our ear. Not a soul asked for longer stay in slunnber land We were off for that long -looked-for land The freshness of the hour addtd vigor to our prep aration. At o'clock, with full equip ment and the "slum wagon" we were entrained. Now our unit is rolling across the cotton fields of Dixie, lead- 1 ing to France
 To quote the words of Baker: "The unit of keenest cut soldiers in the United States army"-3rd Regiment M.M. of which I am member, is starting on long, long journey, and spirit of solid confidence hovers ovtr us as we are glad to leave loved ones and native country behind. Not that we are starting on a glorious va cation, for only inconvenience and se- clusion is before us. We are facing rivers of blood surrounded by hills which belch forth volleys of personi- fled hell. Pain and misery is to be our lot But why shirk the duty that calls and the inevitable outcome which leads but to the furtherment of civilization.
 As I enter those terrible fields
 mother, in vision, 1 am sure that yor will walk shoulder to shoulder with me. enter this conflict with buoy. ant heart and think only of the aching of your enfeebled soul. You and ia. ther have spent an illustrious past fol me and your reward is certain. Keep your mind free from my inconveni. ence and hardship and you will be materially aiding me to carry my part we'll I do not want to think of you as pining away an old life while i I am answering nations call Of course it is long, long trail which

leads back to you and home, but some day I will be winding it homeward. We will bring back with us Old Glory, the same undaunted flag of which America now boasts. And then mother, you will be glad that I took my stand for you, my flag and my country. I would like to tell you many things which the solemnity of my oath now permits not. I'll keep them for the homecoming. Though my stay may be long and the hours go slowly by, these are my parting words:
 "It may be forever,
 If fortune isn't fair,
 It may be for only awhile
 But you do your best,
 And we'll do the rest
 Just send me away with smile" With kiss and tenderest wishes, close. Your Soldier Boy,
 Grover.
