"Headin'. South

This Aircraft picture, which will
be the feature attraction of the
Grand's Sunday program, is lively
melodrama with Douglas Fairbanks
comedy trimmings. His mission in
the story is serious one, but he ac-
complishes it with his usual display
of joyful zest in living and doing the
impossible. The picture has no side
issues, and contains sufficient real
interest in it's serious moments to
keep tight hold on the attention of
the spectator. It is always entertain
ing, and will cause many grin and
chuckle. The production is a fine
one. 1t presents number of pic
turesque views of the Canadian
northwest, and the Mexican scenes
are equally impressive and true to
life. The rides of the bandits and
Texas Rangers are full of thrills.

"Riders Of the Night"

"Riders of the Night, in which
Viola Dana will be seen at the Grand
Wednesday, is a simple but deeply
moving story Of Kentucky. with its
quaint folk and their primitive loves
and hates. It possesses the poveity,
however, of being a tale of the blue
grass without the semblance of a
feud basis. The theme, instead, is
the struggle Of the rude mountaineers
to overthrow the toll-gates and win
free roads from the interruptions and
avaricious owner of the monopoly.

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

We saw "The Naughty Princess" at the Plaza and if we can find time we're going to go and see her again before the week is out, for she enter tained us immensely and we forgot the war and our many other troubles for a good full hour.
 Of course, "The Naughty Princess" is simply the name of an act, or rather, a production, in which 20 odd people take part, but in the cast is a really and truly naughty princess who first appears camoufaged as a gypsy fortune-teller and later proves to be the Princess of some place or other that we couldn't quite understand. She is surrounded wherever she goes by a bevy of charming and fascinatingly gowned young show girls and some clever young men, all possessed of voices that hormonize delightfully."-.
 The scenic and costuming investi- ture is to be marveled at and the pro- duction itself is new and up to the minute, entailing a real story, some thing that few musical comedies can boast of.

POLES

The new feature at Poli's-Para- mount Aircraft pictures started off well yesterday when John Barrymore appeared in "On the Quiet" The production Is brimful of comedy. It departs from the hard and fast TO- made. drama, tragedy lines, and through that very fact produces a pleasing effect upon audiences.
 Barrymore is even more funny than when he appeared elsewhere in Are You a Mason?" He is ably assisted throughout by an all star cast of as- sociate players.
 There is promise of much new en- tertainment in the varied program that the ParamountArtcraft pictures offers to patrons at the Poli thea ire where they always will be snown first
 On the stage this week there also is novelty, with comedy as the domi- nant outstanding feature.
 William LeMaire and company, one of the greatest character artists of the stage appears with a partner. He does blackface and the host of comic dialogue which ensues will place this pair foremost as funmakers.
 Tooney and Norman, a man and woman cross-fire pair also offer com edy with a zip-zip splash. There is nothing that this pair cannot say about each other and therein lies plenty of ammunition for the smart takers about town.
 The Dartos, two jugglers one o1 whom utilizes the bicycle to good and dexterous advantage will inspire awe and offer amusement.

JEWISH HOLIDAYS
 WILL BE OBSERVED IN ARMY AND NAVY

Rosh Hashonah--and shells whizz- ing overhead! The blasts of Shofer mingling with the din Of exploding shrapnel! The first Near Year" in No Mans Land!
 The Jewish Welfare Board is mak- ing unusual preparations for the men in service to observe f1ttingly the first Rosh Hashonah that American troops are spending in Europe, and the sol emn festival is assuming more than usual significance.
 As far as possible services will be conducted by the five Jewish chap lains, who are now overseas with the American Expeditionary Forces. British and French RabbIs will chant the Holyday services for all the American boys who come within their territory. The synagogues and Jew ish homes haze been thrown open to those Jewish boys who will avail themselves of the three day furlough which the United States government has granted for Rosh Hashonah.
 Where military necessity interferes with the leave of absence, the boys will hold their own services using l Bibles and special prayer books SUD- piled by the Jewish Welfare Board. This organization has also distribut- ed quantity of Holyday stationery, so that the men may send greetings to their folks at home.
 The Secretary of War and Secre- tary of the Navy have both issued general orders granting furloughs to l Jewish soldiers and sailors for Rosh Hashonah from noon Sept. to the

QUEEN OF HEARTS
 DRAWS CROWD AT PARK THEATER
Mollie Williams Heads Big Beauty Chorus Which
 Makes a Decided Hit
(Review.)


 Mollie Williams at the Park Thea tre was hailed by a crowded house or her Bridgeport admirers last night in a manner which gave abundant proof of the great popularity of the talented and shapely musical star. The pro- duction which Mollie uses as star" ring vehicle this season is entitled The Queen of Hearts but what do her host of friends care for the pro- duction, so long as she is the princi- pal entertainer?
 Mollie is good to Bridgeporters this season for she not oniy brought a wealth of wardrobe, as far as va riety, not quantity, goes. put her cho- rus numbering about 30 seems to be the pick of Broadway and it is won- der that either the Shuberts or Flo Zeigfeld, are able to put on any beau ty chorus this season.
 NeXer have the patrons of the Park Theatre seen better company than that headed by the fascinating Mol lie. Each girl bears a number which corresponds with her name in the programme and there was many 3 | near sighted patron in the audience almost went blind looking up the name of some divinely beautiful blonde or brunette which caught his | the stage.
 The costumes make one remember | the old saying that clothes cover a multitude of sins, but then the Mollie Williams company is above the sus- | picion of being in need of much GOV | ering. What costumes they do veal i however, are the most startlingly nov el that have so far been seen in thi city and their variety is bewildering The scenic side of the show is su perb and quite in keeping with thu high quality of the talent.
 Emil Casper. in an impersonatiol of Bert Williams, deserved and re ceived hearty applause. His mum Der was put over in a manner tha would have done credit to the popu lar Zeigfeld star himself.
 Mollie Williams, as a Spanish Yam pire, out-vamped Theda Bara Louis Glaum, Virginia Pearson or any of tn vampy tribe that cause even kings t lcse their thrones, and the audienc was alive to the fact the minute sh started.
 Ted Burns, kept the house in roar with clever and original comed while Frank Lucy, Ruth Hastings, Ev eleen Ramsey, Billy Purcella an

 The pilots saluted and filed out. By nine o'clock the next morning, two trains had been derailed, one ann intuition train was on fire and still exploding, and two railway stations lay in ruins. The infantry, thanks, in part, to the work of the airmen in hampering the movements of the Ger man reserves, had advanced a mile on a ten mile front.

The Players have been tender ed a reception second to none during this, their first week, before a Bridge port public and in their presentation of Lilac Time" have obtained a foot hold here that has already establish ed for them an enviable reputation.

It is play of pure comedy without any reference to the war as it's title might indicate It is story of the motion picture studio and portrays the adventures of a cow DOy WnO mas Just Deen engaged 10 take part in film play of which he knows nothing.

PARK

Burlesque of the better sort is the Mollie Williams greatest show, the current attraction at the Park theatre, where the patrons are said to enjoy the many novelties that are shown. A striking chorus is seen in more than a dozen breezy song numbers, while the comedy action is put on by com ics out of the ordinary led by Ted Burns, Emil Casper, Billy Porella. Mollie Williams shows her versatility as a finished performer when she leaves the burlesque atmosphere for her dramatic work in the sensational playlet "The Queen of Hearts," an in. tense stage picture of timely occur rences.

Why the Leaves Turn Red.

An examination of the withered
leaves OF the autumn foliage at the
time of their turning red shows that
they contain more sugar and less
starch than In midsummer. Leaves Of
eyergreens, however, lose their red
tlnts with the return Of the warm sea-
son. and reassume their green color.
In these plants. e., the holly and
ivy-the sugar OF the leaf is trans
formed into starch In sprlngtime.
From these observations two infer
ences can be drawn--first, that the red
coloring substances are probably Of
the nature of the glucoses, being In
most cases compounds of tannlc sub
stances with sugar; second, the chief
physical conditions for the formation
of the red color are sunshine, which,
on the one hand, enhances the assImi-
lation and production OF sugar. and. on
the other hand, quickens the chemical
process that leads TO the formation of
the colorlng matter, and, furthermore,
a low temperature. which prevents the
Transformation of the sugar into
starch. In other words, the red tints
OF autumn are the direct product Of
the meteorological conditions prevail
ing during that season.. e., sunshine
and low temperature.
