'"The drive to clear the big clothing department store at the corner of Main. Golden Hill and Middle streets reaches its final stages commencing Saturday. Every ounce of energy is concentrated on making room for the new spring stocks which will shortly be pouring in.
 "In spite of the rising costs of fab rics not a single garment will be held over for another season. A clean sweep will be made. That's all" MT. Walder made this point very clear in 9 discussion with one of our representatives. The policy of the Caesar Misch Stores is being main tained under the greatest difficulties because it would be simple matter to hold many of the desirable and up-to-date fashions over into the next season.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Beginning Monday, Feb. 4th, the Poh Players will present the greatest laughing success of the present sea- son, "Charley's Aunt"
 The Poli Players presentation of "Charleys Aunt" will be a week of genuine mirth and healthful laugh ter
 The play depends entirely upon the really funny situations for it's success, and ''Charley's Aunt" is one of the most eloquent examples that a mod ern and wholesome comedy devoid of any suggestiveness, will live to amuse and entertain thousands.
 'Charley's Aunt" the play selected to follow Captain Kidd, Jr.," will give the popular Poi Players every opportunity Co display their skin and each have been intrusted with impor- tant parts. "Charley's Aunt is built up by q master hand of comedy eff fects
 Two young fellows, among them Charley, desire to entertain two young ladies at dinner, and desiring to fol- low the usage of good society, have agreed that Charley's aunt, an esti- dudDlo 1aOy, WHO IS LO dIT1Ne AIO1u Brazil that day, act as the chaperone. The young ladies consent, but ss the crucial moment the aunt fails to ap- pear and the boys are hard pressed to keep their agreement with the young ladies. Then a friend of Charley's s. a Lord Baberly, called Bab for short happens in and is pressed into ser vice. Having costume which he has procured for private theatricals, he becomes Char1ey's aunt and proceeds to chaperone the party. From this promise the screamingly funny sit nations arise thick and fast. They are harmless in their fun, but excru- ciatingly ridiculous and laugh pro- vpking.
 No doubt you, dear reader, are one of the many that enjoyed the laughs created by Harold Kennedy in "Pot- ash and Perlmutter' If so, you will like MT. Kennedy in the title role o1 E'Cbarley'S Aunt"

PLAZA

. With Leo Kendall and his Military Misses as the headline attraction, the Plaza bill was inaugurated yesterday afternoon before a rather critical audience and passed with flying col ors.
 Mr. Kendall is one of the cleverest comedians vaudeville can boast of and his original line of material kept the laughs coming fast and furiously for 20 minutes He has gathered around him a bevy- of pretty and shapely show girls and their enter tainment, while of a military nature, is vastly different and more pleasing than any of the so-called girl acts Bridgeport has had in it's midst for many a moon
 Betty Hall, strikingly pretty blonde with sweetly toned voice, has a singing and dancing diversion in which she is assisted by the Dixie Four.
 One of the most fascinating and sweet-vpiced young women vaudeville has ever given us is Helen Harring- ton. A petite miss is Helen but her voice is large and she has most de- lightful repertoire.
 Stone and Adelaide in a Jumping and acrobatic offering of unusual merit completes the vaudeville num- bers.
 Tom Moore, the former stock favor ite, appeared in Brown of Harvard, '' a splendid screen production that held right up to the very last scene.

Application for insur- ance may also be made by the soldier or sailor himself. This means that persons who were in the service on or before October 15, 1917, cannot apply for the insurance after February 12, 1918. The result is that the time limit for securing this insurance will expire for three-quarters of the men in the National Army on February F, 1918.

EMPIRE

Engineering her own love affair to Q triumphant close as well as stage managing several others, is the task that falls to- Vivian Martin in her newest Paramount photoplay, "The Fair Barbarian" written from Fran ces Hodgson Burnett's famous story by Edith Kennedy and directed by Robert Thornby. A breezy American girl, marooned by circumstances in a sleepy English town, she brings the little township nearly to the point or spontaneous combustion by scandal ization. How she wins over the social leaders to her side and makes friends of even her prim and snobbish aunt, makes part of a story with all the fascination of which the famous au- thor and popular star are so capable. "The Fair Barbrian" will be shown at the Empire theatre today and to- morrow.

POLES

A wonder of wonderst'NThe Bel gian,' now playing at Polls theatre on the screen. 'The Belgian" with walker Whiteside, famous of famous American. screen stars, and Miss Val entne Grant, is enough to make it an appeal, but in the Belgian, ,g,KIare Hummer has interwoven a plot that IS enormous in it's great depth. From little and quiet hamlet to the ar- rival of the German forces, the great battles and the underground spy-sys- tenn, the Belgian shows that spirit of action and romance which must ap- peal to all patriotic Americans.
 It is shown at Polls in six reels of clear black and white photography. Some of the pictures taken in the trenches and where the field guns op- crate, inspire more feeling and tend towards. more excitement for defense of Americas principles than anything recently placed before the Bridgeport public.
 A big vaudeville treat is offered on the side at each of the three full and complete performances. The Three Royellas divert with instrumentality- playing the harp, violins, horns and bassoon. Cliff Green, "The Variety Boy" brings the latest pathos and bathos from Broadway. Haligan & Sykes, "A Sunshine Pair" commit themselves only to fun. Mile. Paula, on the flying trapeze, offers some startling exhibitions of sinuosity. In Animated News there is a com- pIete show as the fighting on the Italian front, present real war exi- gencies and the entrance of the AL lies into Jerusalem, the Holy City, is also pictured for Bridgeport's knowl- edge.
 The PoH show will satisfy this week.

FAKE FOOD WILL KILL ONE THIRD
 OF HUN NATION
Scientists Warn German Government Substitutes
 Must Be Controlled

Amsterdam, Feb. 1.-The almost complete lack of nourishment in many of the food "tsubstitutes' now being sold in Germany is arousing a storm of warning from German scien- lists, who declare that government su- pervision of the whole substitute food traffic is an immediate necessity. Pro- lessor Juckenack of the University of Berlin, writing in the Vossiche Zei- tung, says:
 ''It is useless any longer to hide the truth. Unless the government active ly intervenes to put some control over the flood of substitute foods with which we are overwhelmed, the end of the war will also see the end of a third of Germany's population. More over, the remaining two-thirds will be so enleebled from malnutrition that they will be unable to perform the immense tasks of recuperation and restoration.
 'eThe devil alone knows what are the ingredients of thousands of these wretcned substitutes rnat already do duty for butter and eggs, oil and milk, flour and spirits, meat and broth, cof- fee and sugar, tobacco and tea, fish and sausage, cheese and caviar, and so on without end.
 ''The latest products of the ingen- ious substitute-mongers are really too terrible to be tolerated. A prepara- ton of crude kerosene is now being largely sold as frying oil, and 500 cases of serious illness together with nine deaths have been traced to it's use in Berlin alone. A preparation called goose dripping" is prepared from dogs fat; egg substitute from a mixture of chalk and baking pow l der; caviarEfrom fish scales, and bread from straw. What people, no matter
 how patriotic, can hold out on such fare?"

 "Then he drew his revolver and ordered me to sit down. He began to ask me about E-5 business. I couldn't understand the situation, but, of course, I am German born, I had always known Lieut.. Hyde, and I supposed I was under arrest He asked me more questions and I re- fused to answer until I had consulted my lawyer. I told him I had been a citizen since 1903. He continued to ply me with questions and would not answer Finally he herded us out of the building and into a taxi that stood at the curb.
 q asked the lieutenant if I could not notify my family. He said that would be attended to. We drove up to the Waldorf-Astoria and Lieut.. Hyde went in. We waited about half an hour for him to reappear. Then we drove. apparently, aimlessly about town, and finally heard him tell the chauffeur to go to Greenwich, Conn.
 Ushered Into Greenwich Mansion.
 "We reached Greenwich about o'clock Thursday morning. The country house we drove up to was a big, pretentious place, and the rooms he took us through were handsomely furnished. We entered through a dinly lighted cellar and climbed up- stairs to the dining room, where there was a big open fireplace.'
