POLES

Patrons of Polls theatre will have three opportunities today to see the big picture and vaudeville which has been on at the popular playhouse since Thanksgiving Day. The feature picture, "The Prussian Cur" has cre- ated the biggest sensation of any pie ture ever shown at a local house while the vaudeville program headed by the famous Willard has been voted one of the best ever seen in Bridgeport.
 Tomorrow the four-day engagement of the greatest meIodrama of-all times, ''The Still Alarm" begins it's run SUD- ported by a picture and musical pro- gram which has never been excelled in any part of the country. The big picture will continue to head the bill for the first part of the week and will be joined Monday matinee with a vaudeville bill of unusual size and merit.
 Thursday next another big surprise will be presented to the patrons of Polfs this will be no less than the great Drury Lane drama, Sporting Life" which is one of the greatest of Aircraft Paramount features and the masterpiece of Maurice Tourneur, the famous director and producer. The story of the picture is taken from the melodrama of the same name which was written by Joseph Arthur and which made it's appearance as a stage play back in the eighties Its success was instant and since that time "The Still Alarm has been packing theatres throughout the country as has no | other production of the American the atre,

DRINK A GLASS
 OF REAL HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST. Says we will both look and feel clean, sweet and fresh
 and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has of late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The latest application of it's untiring re- search is the recommendation that it is as necessary, to attend to internal sanitation of the drainage system of the human body as it is to the drains of the house.
 Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonfuI of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallov skins, blood disorders and sickly com plexions are urged to get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store This. will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.-Adv.

PLAZA

Today's your last opportunity to consult Madam Ellis, the girl who knows all and can answer any ques- tions put to her, about anything that might be troubling you. Madam Ellis has startled her audiences dur ing the past two days with her un- fathonable power which has been proven the eighth wonder of the age. No test seems too difficult for this wonderful woman, who to be appre- ciated must be seen.
 Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, the most wide ly advertised woman in the country, will also be seen for the last time to- day in "The Woman Who Gave" It is a story of an artists model who found mother love greater than beauty but whose husband hated his child because she loved 1t. Evelyn Nesbit's young son, Russell Thaw, is also seen in this picture in the role of the child.
 Other vaudeville acts which will be seen today are Jack and Caroline Morrison in a clever dancing and sing ing offering. Miss Jessie Morison is a clever comedienne with such a charming personality that she always goes over big" as the performers ex- press it, and Holmes and Hollister in their amusing comedy skit entitled Miss Kidder."
 The Gaumont Weekly is particu- larly interesting today because it brings us a picture of Major-General Edwards, commander of the 26th di- vision, A. E. F., to which many of our boys are attached. Rebuilding l Broken Lives Behind the Lines" is an intensely interesting Red Cross pie ture which shows the actual work that is being done by the Red Cross ! in reconstructing the lives of soldiers who have been wounded. It shows the various outdoor occupations they , are being fitted. The wonderful ad- | areb eing fitted for. Thew onderful ad- , the use of artificial limbs and arms ! and the men actually doing labor such ! as digging, farming and machine work with these artificial arms are shown

probably knew it already. Yet in spite of ti2is feeling and the tempta ton to use such news, little complaint Is made that the newspapers broke faith. It has been just the same in this as in all phases of newspaper work. Newspaper people know a great dsal they never print and few of them break a confidence.
 This good faith in the long run is good policy for newspapers. The reporter who breaks it may score q few interesting scoops. But he de- stroys his reputation for trustworthi- mess and ends by having few friends.
 Censorship is !unwelcome to the American mind. Under a free press many wrong and foolish things are said. Yet these hurt the people who say them more than anyone else. Ano the free press exposes an enormous amount of wrong doing, and is a ter TOT to dishonest people. The free press Is a community police force.

WEST END

Bessie Barriscale comes to the screen of the West End theatre today in her newest Paralta play, Patriot ism" six acts, which was especially written for her by R. B. Kidd and Jane Holly.
 The production is an exceptional photoplay in many ways and has been proclaimed as the greatest success in which this gifted star has appeared. A gripping plot against a vivid back ground of the great world war, which, however, is felt rather than seen, affords an ideal opportunity for Miss Barriscale to run the entire gamut of dramatic emotions and she takes the fullest advantage of her op- portunity.

LYRIC

George Broadhurst, prolific. Ameri- can playwright, is again to the front with a thrilling and altogether inter- esting incident of the great war; this time story of French crooks and later of American diplomats, and American Secret Service men and wo- men. The play is called "The Wo- man on the Index" and will be the attraction all next week at the popu- lar Lyric theater, portrayed by the Poli Players in their usual enter taining manner. The production of ''The Woman on the Index is indeed theatrical event of no mean i'm portance for the play was only pro- duced at the 18th street theater in New York late in August where ii ran for several weeks to good sue cess.
 In this play as in all of his others particularly Bought and Paid For'' the author shows in powerful termf i his true understanding of human nature in the truest sense. "The Wo- man on the Index Is not a drama of situations alone but a strong, concise story well written and with a theme that is broad enough to hold the at tention of any audience The story first appeared in Munsey's magazine and was so widely read that the dramatic rights were purchased and since the first production has been { thorough success.

DEFENSE COUNCIL l PROTESTS AGAINST
 HUN PROPAGANDA

Hartford, Nov. 30-The Connecticut State Council of Defense has adopted a resolution oposing and resenting the German propaganda, instituted by pr. Solf, German Foreign Minister. The council also pledges itself ito take every means within it's power to neu- tralize and to defeat" this propaganda.
 The resolution follows:
 Voted, That, Whereas, the ink was hardly dry upon the paper stating the terms of the armistice before pr. Solf, stheFGerman Foreign Minister, began an active propaganda in this country through notes addressed to the Presi- dent, through a communication ad- dressed by German women to the wife Of the President and to Miss Jane Adams, and through sundry other agencies, seking to mitigate the terms of the armistice, to play upon the sympathies of the credulous and soft hearted, and to ultimately effect a modification of the conditions to be imposed upon Germany at the peace council-if not, indeed. to bring about | actual disagreement among the Allies; and,
 Whereas, Justice and not sentiment, common sense, not German sophistry, should control the group of nations that have been forced by the Central Powers to make incalculabIe sacrifices to save civilization; and,
 Whereas, It would i'll become America, who of all the leading foes of Germany has sacrificed the least, to assume leadership in the field of forgiveness being as easy as it is eratuitous to forgive wrongs done to other people; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Connecticut State Council of Defense opposes and resents this new and insidious form Of propaganda, and pledges itself to take every means within it's power to l neutralize and to defeat it.

THE END OF THE CENSORSHIP

American newspapers have just passed an interesting phase of their experience, in the censorship on eer- tain forms of war news, which has now been ended. It testffes to the honor of the newspaper fraternity that so few newspapers have broken the requirements of this censorship, in revealing troop movements and other military facts.
 To a newspaper man who got hold of an interesting piece of military news, there was a tremendous temp tation to use it. He makes his bread and butter by the collecting and printing of news. To ask him not to print anything he gets hold of, is like asking a farmer not to sell his grain, or manufacturer to give away his product.
 Many newspaper people who got hold Of military news might often argue that the publication of it would make no difference. They would figure that the German spies

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-11-30

The basis for the suit, according to the complaint, was that the news paper had injured foreign power and made an attempt to interfere with amicable relations existing be- tween Sweden and the United States. 9 The Aftonblat had printed a series of articles regarding Americas ac- ton in entering the war and con- taining personal references upon President Wilson.
