about but so seldom seen.
A huge subject is presented upon
tie screen in ''Thais," world renowned
subject in which Mary Garden, Amer
ica's most apt tragedienne, is seen in
the leading role. At the Poll theatre
That's will be shown in five dra-

WHAT'S GOING ON I'M THE WORLD
OF THEATRES and AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Beginning with the matinee today
che Poll Players will open the week
at the Lyric theatre with a scream
ingly laughable farce entitled Here
Comes The Bride guaranteed to
drive away the most aggravated fit
of blues that a human being is heir
to. Judging from the success the
players have shown with their parts at
the rehearsals a distinct surprise is
in store for the patrons of the Lyric
theatre and if the advance sale of
tickets is any criterion seats will be at
a premium at each aid every perform
ance.
Here Comes The Bride is preced-
ed by an enviable reputation and al
though it is the first time that it has
been seen in Bridgeport it has met
with a. long series of successes and
rousinS receptions wherever shown.
In addition to the regular lines as
signed to the cast the players have
introduced extra situations which are
calculated to improve the play to
such an extent that it has been said
that it is now 100 per cent. perfect.
Built for laughing purposes only it is
one of the kind of productions which
is enjoyed by everyone and the most
skeptical will be satisfied when the
performance concludes.
The production is full of action and
repartee and there is not an idle mo-
ment during the time the curtain is
up. The humorous situations follow
one another in such rapid succession
that the audience is MO sooner done
laughing at one when another funny
incident brings forth another scream
of laughter. AS usual Warda Howard
will take the leading part, as the
sweetheart of the unlucky bridegroom
who in spirit of pique allows himself
to be inveigled into a marriage with
a veiled woman who later proves to
be a harridan and absolutely refuses
to give up her young and sixth hus-
band. She also has six children which
she insists he shall love and cherish.
How the groom gets out of the tangle,
in which figure an irate father, q
lovely but sorry sweetheart and a So
licitous friend who wants to help but
only makes matters worse, furnishes
sufficient amusement to keep an audi
ence laughing for a whole week, all
of which is crowded into one perform
ance. If you are unfortunate enough
to have to miss seeing this production
it will be cause for regret when you
hear your friends talking about II

business mems officers training course,

itself in having this course of training
given to business men who would like
to have general and better knowledge
of military affairs, such as would come
in convenient should their services be
eventually necessary. The organization
is not to be a military body in the sense
of a state or federal organization.
In several cities Of the United States
the war department has issued orders
whereby competent instructor should
train such classes and from a brief sur.
vey of the city, it is estimated that $50
or more business men would be glad to
avail themselves Of advanced training,
Caytain Tyler is in charge of the mil
itary activities of the willamette
Now that Salem has a graduate of West

; You might be surprised to know that
the best thing you can use for a severe
cough, is q remedy which is easily pre-
pared at home in just few moments.
It's cheap, but for prompt results it beats
anything else you ever tried. Usually
stops the ordinary cough or chest cold in
"a hours. Tastes pleasant, too-children
like it-and it is pure and good.
Pour 215 ounces of Pinex in q pint
bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari-
fed molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup, if desired.
Thus you make q full pint-a family
supply-but costing no more than q
small bottle of ready-made cough syrup.
And as q cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at any
price. It goes right to the spot and
gives quick, lasting relief. It promptly
heals the infiamed membranes that line
the throat and air passages, stops the
annoying throat tickle, loosens the
phlegm, and soon your cough stops en-
tirely. Splendid for bronchitis, Group,
whooping cough and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway pine extract, famous
Tor its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2h ounces of Pinex" with
directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute satis-
faction or money promptly refunded.

The chief Of coast artillery in Wash
ington has quietly conerted the entire
coast artillery corps into a series of
mobilization and training camps for new
regiments. AS fast as organized, these
regiments are being sent to the vast
training centers' in the east. where they
are put through most intensive field
training. Maneuver and target practice
with heavy guns and heavier howSreYs
on traction drawn mounts, and the most
powerful seacoast mortars mounted on
railroad cars, are the order of overy
hour of every day. Already members Of
the regiments sent out from the iorth-
western coast defenses are writing home
of participation in active service in the
firing line, and others tell Of their safe
arrival overseas.
This great progressive work is open
ing up wonderful opportunities for ad-
yancement of men of the new draft
who are anxious for early promotion
and active service overseas.

tricians, etc., by voluntary induction
under the draft laws, can obtain the
opportunity to enter the service tnd be
sent to the coast artillery officer IS
training camp, at Fort Monroe, for ap-
pointment as End lieutenants.
Artillery specialists, of noncommis-
stoned officers grades such as sergeant
major, electrician sergeants, master
gunners, engineers, firemen and radio
sergeants, are to be appointed after
graduating at the schools established
for training in these specialties.
Automobile and truck drivers, tele.
phone and telegraph experts, etc, are re-
quired in great number and after in
duction into service will get early as
signment to regiments.
Band leaders and band musicians are
wanted, for every regiment must have
its band Of At pieces.
The commanding officer, coast de-
fenses Of the Columbia, Fort Stevens,
Ore, will Give information concerning
the increasing number of inquiries that
are coming in.
Certain expert men who are not ply
sically qualified for overseas service
may be inducted into the service never
theless, for duty in home stations, re-
leasing men physically fit, to go over
seas.
Thus, in fact, the coast artillery has
been converted into veritable "Big
Gun Corps" for foreign service, to help
bring the war to a successful end.
