Ference BY CITIES
City Officials Should See That Their
Citizens Just Back From War Are
Given Encouragement.

In a recent issue of the American
City Magazine there appears very in
teresting article, quite appropriate to
the time. At the present time we are
thinking in terror of reconstruction
and employment of the returned SOL
diers.
The world is being replanned and
many of the progressive cities are
making investigation and plans look
ing toward a scientific and satisfac-
tory growth. Mr.. Brown of the Unit
ed States Chamber of Commerce.
among the many thoughtful sugges-
tons offered, at the meeting the other
evening urged the citizens of Mays

Vile to plan for the city's growth and
not expect II to Just grow up and ev-
eFything be Just In It's proper place,
In the article referred TO It's states
that the National Government Is plan
ming n great Federal High Way Sys-
TEN and will likely push public works
OF every nature. It further states that
the public works of our. people are
mostly local and municipal, necessi-
tating that cities jump promptly into
maximum program Of local public
works, building long deferred bridges,
starting the new city hall and expand
Ing the parks, regardless OF the fact
that little money could probably be
saved by waiting year or two for
lower prices.
The article urges upon the City Of
llcials to endeavor, through organized
effort. TO make the citizens see their
responsibilities and get them to re-
paint their roofs, repaint their houses,
build homes, install new furnaces and
clear their garrets of broken chairs
and wobbly trunks, which idle me-
chanics can convert into salable and
useful second hand goods. This will
afford work to the men that want Il.
at living wages.
The article further suggests that the
City Officials of every city publish
some such statement as follows:
Our city intends to see every bona
fide resident safely through the crisis.
No soldier returning from war shall
be told that society has no use for
him or that he may now go tramping
from employer to employer vainly try
ing to sell his services. Neither must
those who stayed at home be displayed
to make room for the soldier since
that merely doubles the amount of ne
cessary adjustment without touching
the problem.
Therefore, our city will concentrate
in this year the public work that ordi-
narily would be spread over last year
and this year and next year and the
year after improving and identifying
and setting in order our municipal
household in every sound and ulti-
mately profitable way.
We will push these public works to
whatever point may be necessary to
absorb the excess supply of local la
Dor"
1t was the reproach of Engled after
the Napoleonic wars that for twenty
years her streets were full of her
MANNED veterans helplessly begging
on the corners. A future and more en-
lightened generation will reproach us
if we welcome our men from France
with speeches and parades and then
leave them to tramp the sidewalks
from door to door in frantic sordid
scramble wherein thousand men JOS
tie for five hundred jobs.
May it be that our city will first
hang out banner that says to the re-
turned soldiers, I'VE have good jobs

CARNEGIE MARRIAGE
RECALLS AN Incident
That Although One Possesses Wealth

New YOrk.-A lOng-1Or-gOtten ana
but recently remembered dream OF
Andrew Carnegie will be fulfilled
when his daughter, Miss Margaret
Carnegie. United States Navy En-
sign Roswell P. Miller are married
on April %. The marriage license
was issued Friday.
Miss Carnegie, % years old, was
born of a late marriawe, for the great
ironmaster did not marry Louise
Whitfield, the heiress' mother, until
he was So.
More than score of years before
his marriage, when Mr.. Carnegie as
an employee in Pittsburg steel mill
was known as ANDY, he was chat
ting with his bosom friend, Roswell
Miller.
The two were looking over some
steel rails ordered by Miller, then a
railroad contractor. A young woman
passed and Carnegie, glancing at her
remarked to his friend ROSS, if ]
ever get married and have daugh-
ter I'm not going to let her grow up
to be a doll. She is going to know
something about making her home"
sand If l ever have boy, Andy,
responded Miller, 81 hope he marries
that girl of yours, or some one like
her, because he is going to earn his
own living and know how to do 1t
with his own hands
Twelve years after his marriage a
daughter came to the home of An
drew Carnegie, then Ga years old. He
is now SO and she is 22, yet they are
chums and have been ever since she
could toddle about the room.
When the steel king was rs years
old he spent busy birthday, for Mar
garet, then II, had managed to beat
him at billiards. He was more tick
led than if he had pust launched new

obtained an interview from them. 1t
ran something like this:
"My daughter has managed to beat
me at billiards. I'm too busy to talk
I want to see If she can do it again.
With never Q thought of the dream
he and his friend Miller had voiced
many years before respecting their

cratic views, began to make real

dy Long Legs" the first of this pop lar screen idols own productions made under her new two million dol lar contract. Mary made her last picture nearly a year ago and while many of her productions have been shown recently they were necessarily pictures that were made long ago and but recently relea sed to the public. Mary has ambition as well as talent, however, and longed to make some thing bigger and more lavish than she has ever attempted before. This ambition was smiled upon by one of the biggest producing organizations in the motion picture world with the re- suit that this IovabIe star was given her opportunity to produce the big gest that was in her. Reports from the Los Angeles studio where she is completing Daddy Long Legs" are that it will stampede the entire coun- try when shown upon the screen. Certainly the selection of the story was a splendid one for ''Our Mary" and with the big star and the famous story, it Is stated that the cast is the most notable of any production yet witnessed including a number of stars in their own right.
 Other big productions to be look ed Tor III the near future are The UnpardOnable Sin" with Blanche Sweet and 8, famous cast; "In Wrong" the first of Jack PiCkford's own pro auctions under his new contract; Mickey Mack Sennett's big laughing comedy drama which has convuIsed the entire country with it's uncOn- trollabIe humor; Yankee Doodle in Berlin another big hilarity fest. and a number of other productions as yet unnamed but said to be bigger and more pretentious than have yet been attempted in screen production. A gala season of photopIays looms ahead for local theatregoers and while some of the productions mentioned above will demand advanced prices of admission, Bridgeport will not be found stacking where the production warrants the increase.

Exuding optimism from every line in the hope of affecting all present with the spirit. Tn Walked Jimmy" the play of thrills. tears and laughter will open for the week at the Lyric theatre with matinee this afternoon. Rehearsals have been in progress for several days and judging from the trial performance by the Polt Players this morning the production will meet with the most sanguine expectations from every point of view.
 Tn Walked Jimmy is the kind of play that none can resist. There Is a certain conta zion about the manner isms adopted by Jimmy" as he walks into the hearts of men and women that wins for him many friends and before he is in their company many minutes all stand ready to swear by him as though they had known him for years.
 Owing to the many characters necessary to produce Tn Walked Jimmy" an augmented cast has been engaged, among them a dozen working girls who will appear as em- pIoyos in the Cinderella Shoe factory which forms the nucleus of the story. Jimmy" appears just a the owner of the plant has given up all hope of success and is about to shoot himself, but the hero convinces him that there is much to live for with his good na- ture and over supply of optimism he convinces others that the Cinderella Shoe factory makes the only shoes on the market.

The photop1ay lovers of Bridgeport will welcome the news that there are big surprises ahead for them. The signing of the armistice was the sig nal for the movie producers to open up their biggest guns and start work ing on the biggest and most pretenti- ous productions that have as yet graced the screen. Just when or where the first of these big produc- tons extraordinary will be shown in Bridgeport cannot be stated at the present time but blessed as this city is with a. number of the most progress sive and wide-awake exhibitors to be found anywhere, it may be said with fullest assurance that nothing will be produced that is too gigantic to be shown by our local theatres.
 Perhaps the most pretentious and most spectacular of these massive pro- auctions is Allen HoIubar's great hu- man drama "The Heart of Humanity which has already had it's New York showing at the Broadway Theatre where it was received with such en- thusiasn as has never before been shown for any motion picture pro- duction. It is hard to describe the bigness of such a production except by comparisons with other things, and it might be stated with absolute truth that ''The Heart of Humanity is much bigger and more impressive than anything in Ciemas yet produc- ed. Such worthy masterpieces of the screen directors art as ''The Birth of a Nation and Hearts of the World fade into insignificance when com pared with this gigantic spectacle. l7rfI T hn production but the question that is hardest to answer is this: "Is there a theatre large enough in the city to accommodate the crowds that will flock to see it?''

The picture. which is on view at the West End theatre Monday and Tuesday, is a remarkable one in many respects, its situations being dramatic and its heart-appeal to old and young alike. irresistible.

GALLI-CURCI'S DEBUT
An Astounding Exhibition
 of Enthusiasm.

Referring to the debut of GalH- Curci. the brilliant coIoratura soprano who will be heard at the State Street Casino Thursday evening. March 27, them usical critic of the Chicago Fri bune describes the event as follows:
 Yesterdays matinee audience in the Auditorium gathered for con temptation of a routine performance of "Rigoletto." It was calm, suave, sophisticated gathering, which, as to most of it's units, knew all about Mar celia Sembrich, Luisa Tetra zzini, and other coratura celebrities who have, upon occasion, taken this opera away from the singer of the title part.
 When the curtain fell on the sec ond act, the calm, suave, sophisticat- ed gathering rose in its seats, and cheered and shouted, and screamed its delight with Mime. Galli-Curci, the Gilda of the afternoon. Nothing like her had been heard in the six years in which Chicago has had an opera company named for it."
 Other reviewers record "an astound- ing exhibition of enthusiasm; "a tu- mutt that would ordinarily seem un- seenly"; applause that exploded ''as if the aria were a time-fuse, and the audience a mine"
 The genuineness of this sensation Is emphasized by the fact that no one knew anything about the new prima donna in advance; she came as a bolt from the bluei and, indeed had been engaged for only two performances Before the first was finished, the willy 1dF. Campahtni had secured her ser vices for the entire season. The re- suit was such an overwhelming de- r1and for seats that prices were rais- ed for all the performances in which she appeared"
