LYRIC

If the crowds pouring into the Lyric theatre and the repeated and vociferous applause which is greeting the Poh Pl-yers at their successful presentation of that wonderful pro- duction De Luxe Annie" can be taken as a criterion nothing like it has ever been seen in Bridgeport. Every one of the three acts and seven scenes is replete with action of the kind that is thoroughly enjoyed by every pleas ure seeker and the audiences which have visited the Lyric this week have shown their appreciation by the con- tinued applause which has been show cred upon the popular players.

Behind MEH FOOtIights
POLES

In the photoplay written especially for his cinema debut under Aircraft auspices, Enrico Caruso, the cele- brated tenor, plays two roles, one be- ing Cesare Carulli, a singer, and the other Mario Nanni, an artist who makes models for plaster casts. These two characters are the principal fig ures in the story of My Cousin" which will be shown at Polls theatre today.
 As MT. Caruso appears simultane- ousIy as Carull and Nanni, playing opposite to himself frequently. multi pie photography necessarily was em- ployed for the purpose. It is said that the synchronism of action in these scenes is perfect, and that at times the effect is most startling. The situations of this photoplay are said to be highly dramatic and filled with stirring heart appeal.
 MT. Caruso is supported by an ex- cellent cast Of players. Chief among | these is Caroline White, an opera singer and actress of signal merit. Miss White is a Boston girl and made her debut in grand opera in Naples in 1910. It is said that she plays the part of Rosa Ventura, a cashier in a restaurant, with splendid artistry The support generally is of a high or der of merit, the result being a most charming picture.
 The story of My Cousin" is one of unusual interest and the situations
 are said to be highly effective. The
 photoplay was directed by Edward
 Jose and the scenario was writer

MUSIC TO THE ITALIAN.

Music for Italians means, and must always mean, melody, and whenever they depart from this the result is failure, as Mascagni proved with his latest works, in which he sought to follow German mod els, says Helen Zimmern and Anto- nio Agresti in 'fNew Italy" The younger and the youngest Italian composers have grasped this truth and do not attempt to swerve from native taste and native models. Yer di was, and is, the master who speaks the musical language understood by all classes, and although Mascagnt and Puccini, and before them Pom chielh, have all introduced innova- ttons in polyphonic methods into Italian music, nevertheless their operas are faithful in structure and spirit to the tuneful traditions that can be traced without a break from Palestrina, Paisiello, and Cimarosa through Donizetti and Rossini down to the present day. A French poet speaking of contemporary Italian music has said, Happy the land whose musicians express the correct ideas of national genius and press forward ever guided by the inspira- ton that gushes from the inex- haustible springs of the race" And 1t is certainly true that of late years fresh energy while remaining true to l
 ception of music has come into be- ing, taste has become refined and knowledge of harmony and counter point is more diffused.
 Nor have Italian musicians lost their personal touch. As ever in
 Italy, the stage is the goal to which
 the younger men aspire, since opera | has always been the form of musical l composition most akin to the genius l of Italian musicians. Casella, Zan- donai, Ildebrando Pizzetti, the futur- 1 ist Balilla Pratel1a, however diverse | their artistic expressions, constitute

 Various causes, in short, have of late years made Italians look at home rather than abroad for sources of inspiration, and this introspection has revealed them to themselves and made them resolve more than ever to fare da SC, to be independent in letters and philosophy, as they are in politics. They are willing and glad to learn from the foreigner, but they will no longer copy him slavishly.

FEEDING THE HUNS
BY H. H. Windsor, in the January
Popular Mechanics Magazine

It would be unchristian, though a
just retribution, if the allies could
be given the feeding of the Huns for
i time, with food of the same nourish
ing value, and served inthe same way
as the Huns fed the prisoners of the
allies.
These same prisoners would know
how to serve-those who were tied
to stakes without food or water for
two or three days at a time, with
food in plain sight but just beyond
reach. There are many yet alive who
have witnessed this refined cruelty of
the middle ages, and some who even
survived the torture. These would
know how Huns should be fed.
And those others who had choice of
putrid fish or nothing; and those in
whose bowl of thin soup the Hun
women spat as they handed it over
to French and Belgian and English
"dogs." These victims, too, know
how Huns fed others.
The starved millions in Belgium,
and Poland, and Armenia, whose
Red Cross supplies were intercepted
and used by Huns; these skeletons
would gladly rise from their un-
marked graves and help feed the
Huns. And innocent children who
trustingly smiled as they ate the
poisoned sweets, they could tell in
lisping words what should flavor the
food for Huns. And those who died
in torture from drinking at poisoned
wells, these also would serve as cup
bearers while Huns are fed.
Almost the first utterance from
surrendered Germany was demand
on the allies for food, and as this
demand was flashing across the
ocean, Hun armies, in anything but

learn SHEEP BUSINESS
BY RAISING SHEEP

,"There is only one kind of man who
can buy himself into the sheep bust
ness with success on a large scale;
this is the man who at some time in
life raised sheep and consequently
knows how to care for them," says
G. P. Williams, sheep and ooat spec
ialist, Livestock Extension Service,
Louisiana State University. "In
Louisiana there are lot Of sorry
flocks of sheep in the hands of men
who have not adequately realized in
advance that sheep require a shep-
herd, and a shepherd is man of
knowledge and experience with
sheep.
"A successful hog raiser who had
marketed dozens of cars of porkers
once said that he had not learned
how to raise hogs out of books and
papers, but had learned his most val
liable lessons by standing right in
the hog lot and in the hog house and
observing the habits and the ways of
the hog. He started in the hog bust
ness young, and with few animals;
his knowledge and experience always
grew ahead of the number of hogs,
and unconciously this farmer became
expert in raising swine.
''The man who succeeds with sheep
must follow the same lines.
s'The small bunch of sheep in the
hands of the observing farmer or the
two or three ewes bought for the
farm boy, are oftenest the stable be-
ginnings of sheep education and
experience that grows to success and
profit. The mere multiplication of
sheep, however well-bred they may
have been to start, is no laudable en-
terprise if vitality slumps and con-
stitution is not kept up. Louisiana
needs more sheep, but we can't have
them in a safe and substantial way
till we arrive a a common sense and
practical way of looking at the mat
ter of breeding and feeding animals
for a definite purpose"
