A Bilious Attack.

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform it's functions
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in
stead of digesting. This inflames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and a terrible headache. Take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They will tone up
your liver, clean out yoor stomach and
you will soon be as we'll as ever. They
only cost a quarter.

EMPIRE

"Rose of the World" dramatized
from the book by Agnes and Edgar
ton Castle, is the AIRCRAFT release
which will be the attraction at the
Empire theatre today, in which the
noted beauty and star, Elsie Fergu-
son, plays the leading role of Rosa
mond.
This is the third photoplay Miss
Ferguson has appeared in, and is by
far the most fitting role for her ac-
complishments Though many stir
ring scenes are shown, the film play
makes it's appeal through sheer artis-
tic worth The superb acting of Miss
Ferguson and the splendid direction
of Maurice Tourneur, the noted French
producer, make this a notable offering.
As the wife of Capt. Harry English,
Rosamond was so tenderly loved and
so submerged in happiness that she
did not realize the affection she held
for her husband. After his death on
the battlefield she marries an elderly
man of wealth and position, and then,
by strong contrast, she learns her own
heart, and that she can never love any
other man than Capt. English, as she
sees the stupidity and conceit of the
man to whom she is bound.
Rose of the World" teaches
strong moral to young wives, who
might not be as fortunate as Rosa
mond, for in the end she again finds
happiness through a unique twist or
fate

LYRIC

No finer tribute could have been
paid the Poll Players than that of
Joseph Noel. author of Birds OF
Prey" when he selected this capable
company for the initial presentation
of the best of his many successful
plays
Birds of Prey can be truthfully
called the most daring play ever pre-
scented, true to life in its most infint-
esimal detail, it is a scathing arraign-
ment of the divorce evil and the sub
sequent harm that grows out of di-
vorce in a family where there are
children, and the home is divided.
Birds of Prey has been contract
ed for and will be presented in New
York during tho coming season.
Bridgeport, however, will have the op-
portunity this week to see it first.
