The individual investment shortens 1t
to a very small extent to be sure, but
multiply this investment by 00,000.-
900 and you have something gigantic
and its effect on shortening the war
can be measured in weeks, months
and even years. Every day the war
is shortened means the preventing If
thousands of American casualties, not
counting those OF our allies.
Great Britain's losses in men last
year and this have been at the rate
of q million a year, and next year,
when our Sammies are bearing the
brunt of the fight we will learn that d
months fighting may cost US 100000
men. If you will only realize that
every dollar you save and invest with
your government has a definite effect
in shortening the war, you certainly
have most powerful incentive to buy
War Savings Stamps.

LYRIC

With a psychological mystery play, dealing with a dual personality, as the principal attraction at the popular playhouse, the Lyric, this week the management looks forward to one of the most successful runs of the entire season. De Luxe Annie' has for it's theme a subject that has created an unusual interest, not only among the public but in the medical fraternity as well. While 1t is an accepted fact that there is such a thing as a dual personality none have so far been able to account for it's presence which makes the play this week of more , than passing interest.
 in addition to being a psychological mystery production De Luxe Annie" is also a crook play, and the adven- l lures of the heroine and her crook pal are thrilling in the extreme. Through out the production there is not an idle moment and the various characters are kept busy unfolding this most in | teresting story in the manner for i which the Polt Players have become noted. The production carr;es seven l scenes in it's four acts and the scenes 1 arUStS nave OutuOne LnelF pest GlLOTlS l in portraying the places where the story of "De Luxe Annie" occurred. Most of the scenes are laid in New | Canaan, which being so near Bridge port will make the play doubly inter- esting to theatregoers here.
 De Luxe Annie" tells an interest ing and thrilling tale of a girl who is as good as she is beautiful, but who is struck on the head by blackjack in the hands of a crook who attempts to rob the house in which she resides. | The blow causes a clot to form on her brain which entirely changes her per sonality so that she becomes a crook and adopts the man who injured her as q pal Their adventures furnish material for a tale of unusual merit and one that should be seen by every
 one who enjoys something really gooc and out of the ordinary. Though the
 production of this superior produc'
 tfon has entailed the outlay of con
 siderable money and time there VII
 be no advance in prices either

"Thc Man. Who Came Back"

"Thc Man. Who Came Back"
 Reaching an ever-increasing public with its intensely human" message "The Man Who Came Back" which was the outstanding success of last year in New York, Boston, Philadel- phia and Chicago, will be seen at the Park theatre three days commencing tonight.
 Like bolt from the blue t shot into prominence last year and after a rigid examination on the part of the critic and of the still more dis eliminating man-of -the-street, the fiat went forth that it was above all else, human-refreshingl joyously, throbbingly huYnan.
 On the one hand we have a. head strong, absolute, but altogether lOv- able boy, as full of faults as a sive is full of holes; on the other. a charming, despairing, revengeful wo- man. With this combination ii would appear possible to fortell the end, and 1t certainly seems to be in view as young Potter and Marcelle meet in the drug-laden atmosphere of a Shanghai opium den. But as clouds, human" or otherwise, pro- verbally possess silver Things. the particular cloud of this faulty pair proves no exception to the rule, and they proceed with admirable skill to turn 1t inside out and display with in finite solicitude it's lining.
 And what a lining: From all angles the spectators examine it's exquisite workmanship and note with wonder the delicate tear-gems which stuC the irridescent fabric-tears of re pentance and regret intermingled witt tears of joy, of joy of regeneration of accomplishment.
 William A. Brady has taker especial care in the selection of tht cast for this remarkable play. Apar from the principal luminaries, Franl Morgan and f1dyne Davies, the cas includes such well known people a. Olive Cooper, Hilda Helstrom, lame Seelcy Richard Clarke, Clarence Der went, Peter Lang, Thomas Ma grane Nick Long, Frank HOwson, Lillia' Owen, Sophie Allen, Estelle Fred erick, -Idalene Cotton and William Pennington.
