Clifton Crawfords long -heralded visit to Bridgeport is a reality at last: The eminent comedian, starred in many Broadway musical successes, heads the current program at Polls with his humorous monologue and dramatic rcitations. The visit here of Crawford is an event theatrically. He is famed as the leading comedian of musical comedy today.
 There is, in addition, an excellent supporting bill. Lady Tsen Mei, the first Chinese movie star, tops the photoplay program in dramatic story of love and intrigue called For the Freedom of the East" The Pathe News is another film feature.
 Dorothy DeShelle & Company, pre- senting a snappy little comedy playlet called Green Eyes will be an added attraction in the vaudeville program
 Clark x Ferrie, in songs and pat ter, will have an i'm portant place in the program and something of a dis tinctive novelty will be contributed by Gordon & Day, comedy cyclists. George, the musical chef, with an in strumental novelty, completes the program.

Behind TIE FOOtIiqhts
LYRIC

All girls who work can learn a great moral lesson by attending one of the performances of After Office Hours" one of the most daring plays that has visited Bridgeport in many moons.
 After Office Hours" tells a story of q pretty little stenographer who loved her employer, not wisely but too well. No one can witness the un- folding of the story without feeling sorry for Millie as portrayed by Miss Alice Clements, the Poli Players pop ular leading lady. Like many another poor unfortunate "Millie" did not know because she had not been told by her parents and was left to fight the battle of life by herself.
 While the dialogue is daring in spots and the play is replete with startling situations and climaXes the play is deserving of a repetition of the big patronage 1t received in other cities because of the great moral les son it teaches, especially to young girls who are compelled to work for a living. The story is presented in three acts teeming with heart in terest and thrills and will no doubt prove a warning to young working girls.

SINGING.
 If you are wawking past a house and you heer sounds like some lady ubjecting to being merdered. you keep rite on going past because you know she is ony singing. The reason it sounds like that is because she is singing sumthing out of a opra- If she was jest singing @ ornerry song with words to 1t you would proberly stop going past and issen a vile if you wasent going enywares intr1stlng in the ferst place.
 The difrrents between jest plane singing and opra singing is that persin singing a regular song that everybody knows jest sings it with out even standing up if they don't wunt to, as If they wasent doing eny- thing speshil, wich they aint. But persin singing opra always stands up ferst and looks serious and then gets all iNcited and makes faces as If they think the music will get ahed of them if they don't hurry up, wich maybe it would.
 Singing is the ony polite way to make noise all by yourself wen there's compinny present. Even if
 
 not considered good manners for them to get up in the middle of the song and try to change the subjeck.
 After a person has sang a song no matter even if you dident even ask them to, everybody claps their hands, trying to clap enuff to show they have good manners without cIapping enuff to make the persin sing another one.
 The ony time some people sing is wen they join in the chorus, on ac- count of 1t being hard for the rest to tell wich one Is spelling the chorus. Wen some people are asked to sing out of politeniss they pertend at fers. they don't wunt to and then nobody cant hardly make them stop. The best thing to do wen a persin says they don't feel like singing and looks as of they did is to quick start 0 game of cards.
 Ladies awffen sing to babies and make them go to sleep, proving the babies must of bin awfill sleepy in the ferst place.

LONDON PAPERS
 PRAISE CHARTER

London, Feb. IT. - The Constitu- tion of the League of Nations re- ceived indorsement of the London morning newspapers today. Some of the comment follows:
 The Times:
 '"The draft goes deeper into the causes of war and will do more for their removal than any one expected. It is the most important international document ever published"
 The News:
 'It is the greatest scheme ever forged for the maintenance of peace"
 The Mail.
 we hope the draft means the opening of a new era of political life. It is a noble effort to achieve a great ideal"
 The Chronicles:
 I've are hopeful that the Constitu- tion is a satisfactory rendering of the conclusions to which the Allies are coming"
 The Post:
 If the League does not give an effectual means for preventing war it at last gives what we hope and trust will be a solid alliance of the achievement in the cause of peace"
 The Express:
 Ut is pregnant with good for the peace and prosperity of the world. Its modified form indicates that President Wilson has learned a good deal since he came to Europe"

NOT HURT BY WARM CLIMATE
Writer Denies That Life In the Trop.

Dwelling There.

The opinion is widespread In north
ern cllmes that a continuously warm

to the white man. This opinion is sub
stantiated by a considerable variety
OF evidence. Exception, however, Is
taken by Vaughan MacCaughey, writ
Ing In Science.
Hawaii Is sub-troplcal. The slgnif'
cant fact Is that the "white" popula-
tion lives american style"
The hours OF labor for business men,
professional men and lab0rers are just
as long as in northern regions. The
holidays and vacation periods are no
more numerous. The lunch period Is
one hour at noon, and there is nc
sesta.
A white lab0rlng class does not ex.
ist In Hawaii. This. Is due. however,
not to climatic conditions, but to the
economic competition Of cheap orl-
entail labor.
1t must be acknowledged that the
change from northern TO sub'trop-
ical climate does not always agree with
the white women. Some suffer from
poor health and more or less profound
functional arrangement. However, the
problem Is an open one as to whether
this is directly due to climatic mai

TANKS PROVE HUN PERFECTION
 ONLY 4 MYTH
Big Leviathan Accomplish ed Most in Hands of
 United States.

''The performances of this mighty German-built Leviathan for America in the closing months of the great war make a romance in themselves" says Edward Hungerford in Every body's'' for August. With a com plement of 14,6OO men and many, many hundreds of tons of supplies, she was a ferryboat worth the reck- oning, and not because of any large efficiency of her builders either. The Leviathan, until she came in our hands, was perhaps the least efficient of any great ship ever built; and I am not even excepting that pathetic whale of more than helf a century ago, the Great Eastern Built as the
 German ship Vaterland for a speed of 24 knots an hour she had never begun to achieve that speed on any
 of the five trips across the Atlantic
 that preceded the outbreak of the war and her internment at Hoboken.
 On the last of these trips she crossed
 from Hamburg to New York with but
 five of her engines of any service whatsoever. Yet after two and a helf years of rusting in internment American naval engineers fin a few weeks, had this, the biggest ship ir the world, in good working order l again and had sent her down to Cuba l and back on a trial trip at g 4 knot. an hour. Her 30 trips of Yankee wal
 service far exceeded the best German daily mileages, with an average say ! ing of more than 250 tons of coal g day. Is there not a good deal ot | fetish after all about this legend o. German efficiency?"
