LYRIC

Superior to anything that the Poll
Players have ever attempted since
their introduction to Bridgeport is the
musical comedy success, Very Good
Eddie" which has been playing to its
most successful week at the Lyric
theatre since Monday. The chorus of
pretty girls direct from the original
company in New York is doing excel
lent work and proving a wonderful ad-
dition to the production. There are
only two acts and three scenes but
these are crowded with laughable sit
nations and musical numbers.
While all the Poll Players are doing
excellent work the bulk of the credit
must go to Dudley Ayers and Harold
Kennedy. Louis Gordon is also good,
especially in his singing specialties as
is Dan Davis, the we'll known juvenile.
The work of Arthur Buchanan and
Ainsworth Arnold is also worthy of
special comment.
For Sunday night Manager Arvine

POLI'S

Clark & Bergman, now appearing
at Polls are immense. Their act is
the epitome Of class. Bridgeport now
has an opportunity of seeing why the
Winter Garden show was a success,
for nothing has been seen recently
in this city which displays such a
setting, such realism in acting, and
such technique and showmanship from
the point of knowing just what to say,
where to begin and where to end.
They are undoubtedly an exceptional
pair of performers and Bridgeport
shall do them honor while their en-
gagement lasts in this city.
The are other feature performers on
the program, sweet Marie D'onahue
singing comediene puts across artis-
try in undeniable manner. Her voice
is sweet and her notes high and clear.
Assisted by piano, she gives a top
ical touch to her songs and parodies.
From a screen angle there are two
features: "Blue Jeans" and the
Hearst -Pathe news, changed yester-
day. In blue Jeans there is that
appeal to nature, to the farm and the
WOO0ldnO, WHICH has DSSIl ldChlIlS III
most of the modern conceptions. Al
though melodramatic, the sensation
al opportunities afforded have not been
overlooked and Miss Dana gives her
personality throughout. blue Jeans
is destined to be one of the attractions
of the month. 1t will have a long run
in America as did the original speak
ing company. Hearst Pathe news gives
wide range Of subjects which recently
have been in the news and is explain
atory of much that appears in print.
Frederick Wallace and Dolly Lewis
and company offer We'll Well Well''
a travesty on life. Their acting is
funny, they bring the laughs and they
tell their tale in pantomime and ac-
ton in a way that relieves the mind
and the hard and fast rules of recent
dramatic effort.
Two boys appearing under the name
of Eddie Miller Duo, offer song and
harmony in clearly defined lines. Their
performance is very good and well re-
ceived.

WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
OF THEATRES and AMUSEMENT
PLAZA

A classic dance revue termed Lies
Aristocrats'' headed a well diversified
and entertaining program of vaude-
vile at the Plaza yesterday afternoon
and evening. There are two striking
ly pretty young women and a man in
the act and they interpret a series of
dances that are, in themselves, exceed
ingly beautiful.
Burke and Burke have a comedy
skit entitled THE Messenger Boy and
the Maid" and for pure, unadulterated
mirth all seasoned Hastily with the
latest innovations in Slang language
it can't be riva1led.
The Anglo-American Coincidence
with a witty line of talk and some
happy song numbers scored triumph
antly. Louise Dacre is the chubby but
petite young woman's name and there
is little doubt but that she will be a
mainder of the week.
Frank Shields is an entertaining
chap with pleasing personality who
throws a. rope, knots it and dances
cowboy fashion.
Draft 258," patriotic picture with
Mabel Taliaferro in the star role is
the screen attraction, or rather, one
of them. The story is based upon the
present war as the title suggests and
it seeks to show how honest difference
of opinion on many matters of the mo-
ment tend to separate families and
wreck lives and homes. 1t also shows
how foreign propaganda battles for
victory with American patriotism.

produced by the great American art
lists and a Christie comedy completed

A pitcher named Charlie Robertson
has been signed by the White Sox. He

DOME Bush and Bill James of the
Tigers have signed their 1918 con-
tracts.
Manager Bezdek of the Pirates will
have plenty of material from which to
choose his batting order. There are
81 men on the clubs rosted.
Boston fans have received the news
of Bill Carrigan's prospective return
with delight. He is the logical choice
for the managerial berth.
Now that Alexander has succeeded in
getting his bonus from the Cubs, Bill
Killefer, his battery mate, is a hold
out. Weeghman is having his own
trouble with the former Philly stars.
Walter Tragresser, one of Stallings'
catchers, is in Glass l. Division A, and
it is doubtful if he will wear Brave
uniform next season. AS Hank GOwdy
and Arthur Rico are now in Uncle
Sans service, the bulk of the back
stopping will have to be done by
Arthur Wilson.
The Pirates are after Frank Snyder
of the Cards. His loss would be a
severe blow to the ST. Louis club.
Clarence Rowland will start the sea-
son with the same batting order that
beat the Giants last fall.
Ben Shaw, a young catcher who will
go south with the Pirates, was secured
via the waiver route from the Yankees.

AUCIE SEES WIN
AND LOSE AHEAD
College Basketball Players To Battle
Friday and Saturday Nights
for HOnOrs.
WESLEYAN QUINTET Is FEARED
Normal Is Predicted To Fall Victim
To the Local Boys After Close
Fast Game.
BY BOB OLMSTED.

Two. big games are on Augustana's
basketball schedule this week, Friday,
a clash with Wesleyan college at
Bloomington and Saturday game
with State Normal at Normal.
Old man Dope gives it as his opin-
ion that Augie will win the latter OF
these two games but will lose close
contest to Wesleyan. The Blooming
ton lads have been showing some ex-
cellent material. yielding to Eureka
by three points and overwhelming
Bradley. 81 to IA. This makes the out
look anything but rosy for Augustana
but at the same time the boys feel that
considering the strong game they put
up against Eureka last Saturday, they
may Justly hope to give Wesleyan a
hard run and hold her to low score.
Normal, however, is considered
doomed to be the victim whose blood
will leave pleasant taste in the
mouths of the Augieites when they re-
turn home after the week ends work.
Normal has been losing right along and
yielded to Wesleyan 80 to 10. Never
theless, she will put up a good fight
and will be worthy contender.
Lineup Uncertain.
Coach Conrad has not as vet an
nounced the men who will accompany
him. but will most likely take the fol-
lowing eight huskies: Captain Bloom

Bengston, Almer. Gaylord and Pal

Des Moines, Feb. You've seen
pictures of Wladek, The Giant Pole"
in his low-cut costume, and with his
swelling muscles much in evidence.
He didn't look like that at all today
as he sat in his room at the Chamber
lain. In a brown brocaded bathrobe,
which evidently had seen much serv-
ice, he gazed at the remains OF a de-
molished breakfast, and talked rather
modestly of himself; Of women; Of his
tastes in flowers and music, and of
his coming match with Earl Caddock,
THE Iowa Wonder"
Didn't you always think that wrest-
lers and prize fighters ate raw meat
and thistle salad, to give them pep for
big match? What would you think
of a breakfast which included milk
and innocuous prunes? Wladek, the
muscular gentleman. called loudly for
those things this morning. And on his
dresser stood another bottle Of milk,
which he plans to drink before lunch
time.
But for his mighty build, his mas
sive neck, and decidedly caulifiOwer
ear, this man might be any well-edu-
Gated foreigner, with no indication of
his real profession. For he's college
man, is this wrestler, educated at
Kracow, in Poland. He speaks Pol
ish, Russian, Italian, Greek, French,
! Spanish, German and English with
equal fluency, and talks carelessly of
his favorite operas.
What does a wrestler know about
flowers? Did you suppose he ever
thought of them? Wladek favors
violets, though he does like narcis-
sius, too. Roses, he thinks are too
spectacular; he prefers the more
modest flowers.
OF women he is very SHY. But in
his heart, he admits he likes these
American girls very much, they are
so Independent. he says, so different
! from the sheltered creatures in Europ-
| can countries. Right now, though, his
mother, back there in Kracow, comes
first with him.
my mother is my best GIRL" he
says in his quaint English. Il don't
have time to meet girls. am toe
