PARK

 Neil O'Brien and his troupe of min, strel players, whirled into the Park theatre for one performance last night and played to one of the largest audi ences that have appeared this season.
 The great turnout was a good indi- cation that Bridgeport people, along with the rest of the country, will never tire of a real old time minstrel show, and none who entered the Park last night regretted spending the money. The show was one of the best in it's line that has been produced here.
 Vaughn Comfort as inter1ocutor and chief vocalist scored heavily, and was repeatedly called upon for encores. Neil O'Brien as comedian in 8 special restaurant skit was heartily received, and kept the audience in smiles during his stay before the cur tain.
 Johnnie King, Davis "Sugarfoot" Gaffney and Billy Van Allen, come dians and dancers extraordinary, were tireless workers.
 Miller and Dixon, in special danc- ing and acrobatic dancing by Fred Miller took the house by storm.
 The Neil O'Brien orchestra and the large chorus of male voices added to the humorous stories, all helped in gaining plaudits for the entire com pany.

ASK MIDDTES TO
 PLAY PITTSBURGH

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 26 - The United War Workers committee has asked that the football teams of the Naval Academy and the University of Pittsburgh play for the benefit of the fund either on Nov 30 or Dec. ', and Admiral Eberle, superintendent of the academy, has suggested that the game be played at Annapolis.
 If it is arranged here, an admission charge will be made, the first time such thing has been done in the his- tory of athletics at the academy. The game would be sure to attract a. great crowd from Baltimore, Washington and other nearby points. The commit tee suggested that the game be played in New York, but Admiral Eberle is unwilling for the team to leave An napolis.
 There are permanent stands at the Naval Academy grounds, which seats 1900, and temporary stands which will seat about 5000, while several thousand more could be given stand ing room.
 The football players will not break training, but will rest a day or two and resume practice with great zest if another big game Is arranged.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
 ENDORSES ZIONISM

His Erninence, Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, has authorized the publfca- ton by the Zionist Organization of America of a statement by him, ap- proving the project to establish in Palestine a national homeland for the Jewish people. The statement, which is dated Nov. 19. is as follows:
 Tt is with pleasure that I learn of the approval accorded by His Holiness, Benedict VX., to the plan of provid- ing a Homeland in Palestine to the members of the Jewish race. I am sure that there are many who would feel happy to return to that land so rich with the sacred traditions of the past, and which is at the same time the home of the fathers"
 The approval of this plan by His Holiness, Benedict XV., referred to by Cardinal Gibbons was given in person by the Pope to Nahum Sokolow, ambassador at Large of the Interna- tional Zionist Organization. MT. Soko- low in an audience at the Vatican explained in detail the objects of the Zionist movement, and His Holiness several times reiterated his thorough accord with it's aims, and stated that although he had received a report from the Papal Secretary of State, he welcomed the opportunity of receiving fuller details from a representative of the Zionists. The Pope declared that | he saw no obstacle whatsoever from the point of view of Catholic religious | interests He was concerned only | with the holy places MT. Sokolow as- l sured the Pope that the Jews would

AN ENGINEERS FEAT IN FRANCE


 Troy. N. Y. Nov. 25-Col. Henry W. Hodge, former member of the New York Public Service Commission. who has been assistant chief engineer in charge of bridges on the staff of General Pershing in France since the United States entered the war, writing to the president of the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute, of which he is 8 graduate, describes an interesting feat in military engineering and one of the many which played a consp1cu- ous part in the rapid advance of the American army against the retreating Germans. He writes:
 we have designed and constructed a pontoon bridge, with pontoons of canvass covered frames, 300 feet of which can be carried on single truck. One span, 275 feet long, of this bridge was swung across a stream the other day in the record time of A minutes, from the time the engineers arrived at the bank of the stream to the actual crossing of the troops"
 Colonel Hodge was recently pro- noted from major.

EMPIRE

One of the strongest photopIays n which charming Billie Burke, the pop ular Paramount star, has been seen in many months, is "The Make-Be- lieve Wife" which will be displayed at the Empire theatre today. It abounds with strong situations, while the comedy is happily blended so that there isn't a dull moment throughout the development of the story
 The scenes of the story develop in the Adirondack Mountains where Phyllis Ashbroo!c is giving a house party to a coterie of friends. She is engaged to marry a lawyer, but he seems to be devoted to a young wo- man who is the fincee of John Man ming, who, by the way, pays more at- tention to Phyllis than he does to An ita, his promised bride. Manning and Phyllis are lost in the mountains, seek refuge in cabin and to save the rep utation of the young woman, Man ing agrees to wed her and to permit her later to Jbtain a divorce.
 This provokes q series of delightful situations, all of which contribute to the enjoyaibleness of the story. Miss BurlSe's support is excellent, her lead ing man being David Powell.

PLAZA
(Review.)

(Revtew.) Northlaine, RiarD and NoFthlaine in their extravagant and elaborate of fering, Modest Shop a la Cabaret" were q distinct triumph at the Plaza theatre through all three perform ances yesterday. The act is com- binatbon of musical comedy and fashion display. The stage setting represents a modest shop. With madam in charge and her two GUS toners there was plenty of oppor- tunity to exhibit a wonderful display of feminine finery together with some of the latest steps in dancing inter- mingled with a good share of refresh ing comedy. The act is one of eXcep- tional excellence and will be enjoyed by all wko see it during it's three days stay in Bridgeport.
 Norma Talmadge in a dual role in '"The Forbidden City, was a screen offering. 1t is an exquisite Chinese story of real love. East meets West and fall in love. Can they be happy married Is the question. In the first half of the picture Miss Talmadge portrays the part of San San. She loves an American and is married to him. A child is born. Through jeal- ousy she meets with death by her own people. The child is let live, as an example to others, only to be sc'orned. In the second half Miss Taluladge plays the part of Toy, San Sans daughter. Because of i'll treatment of the people of her mothers race she makes her escape tO the land of her father and seeks protection under the Stars and Stripes. She is sent to a base hospital at Manila and there trained for nursing. She meets an officer who learns to love her. The love Is reciprocated, but when they seek permission from the officer s guardian to marry, he refuses. It later develops that the guardian is Toys father and on his death bed he gives them one to the other. The picture is well acted with a splendidly balanced cast and the photography is perfect.
 Alice Nelson and company offer a unique comedy skit which Is enacted in an old haunted station. In order to get certain property the lady in the act has to pl'ove her fearlessness and stay there over night. During the night she has an unexpected caller and through manOeuvring she mar- ages to get him to stay there with her. The result is very funny t~1aed and brought many laughs yesterday.

LYRIC
(ReYieW)

(Review)
 While decidedly of the old melo- drama type, "The Dairy Farm" ap- pealed to the audience at the Lyric theatre last night as something of relief after the sensational and thrill ing problem plays which are seen on the stage nowadays. A sweet and simple story of rural life, it proves that after all the everyday happenings are the most interesting.
 Alice Clements, the leading lady, while not having a very heavy part, is sweet and appealing as the adopted daughter of the cruel and miserly Simon Krum, slave trader. The part part is played by Joseph Dunn, and while he is not very well known in Bridgeport, his work last night will place him among the theatregoer favorites.
 Clay Clement as Nathan Newkirk, has role this week which enables him to shine in a part to which he is persistent lover. As one young lady was heard to exclaim last night, "He makes love beautifully" The QeuBnLIuI 1ngenue, 1Qa Maye, scored another hit in her part of Minty, the harum-scarum tomboy, who took so long to grow up. Her | singing and dancing speciality was a re1'eiation to the audience, who al l ways receive this charming young | lady with well merited applause. | Grant Erwin scored another success as the bibulous but k1ndhearted Joel | Whitbeck, the country pdeller, little l known to present day life, but at one time very well known and necessary | adjunct to country life. | Walter Marshall excells in the | interpretation of the role of the viii Han, and his performance last nigh as Elias Plough was but another evi, dence of his ability.
 Walter DashieI and Mabel Griffith as the Squire and his widowed sister gave an able and pleasing presenta ton.
 "The Dairy Farm" is a play tt which you can take your best girl ol the children and be sure of an even. ing of clean and wholesome entertain ment.
