POOR MYRTLE!

Myrtle Stedman rises to say that there should be an association for prevention of cruelty to motion pie ture actresses. If you don't agree with her, just consider her case. Out in California. they are making a pie ture from Rex Beach's well-known novel. "The Silver Horde" In it, Miss Stedman plays the leading wo- mans part. Now, when you play a leading woman's part in play laid in Alaska. you wear clothes never in tended to be worn in California at all, let alone in the summer time. Hence Miss Stedman's belief that something g should be done about the poor mo- ton picture star. She even goes so far to say that after wearing not only a coat, but a cap and gloves of silver fox, she'll never feel the same toward fur again.

POII'S.

We have become so accustomed to superlative in reviews of Charles Ray and his photoplays that we've also become just as accustomed to abso- lute perfection in all his work. But The Egg Crate Wallop." the smash ing story of the prize fight game, in which he is appearing at Polls, car ries the young star into realm which he had never before explored. When you see him swish the eight ounce gloves, you have a surprise coming to you.
 It is a real battle, this one on which the whole story of the play depends, and Ray is battered up quite a bit before he comes through and lands the well known "sock'' that delights fstive fans so much.
 The miniature musical comedy, A Little Cottage" has won so much favor that it clearly shows the type of amusement in this Inc which ap- peaIs most to the public. This little production has been stripped of all lines and situations winch so fre- quently crop up in the regular length musical comedies. There is action, fun and singing every minute.
 Ben Bernie, who ticl1les violin in a way that delights; the Barry Girls n songs and dances and a pianologue, and Lew Hoff, the wi ty juggler, round out one of the best bills seen in Bridgeport in a long time.

LYRIC

Among the novelties in scenic effects shown in that decidedly ingenious comedy, "One Born Every Minute '' now playing at the Lyric theatre, is a lunch wagon both exterior and in terior. All the accessories necessary to make one of these portable res taurants complete are there and meals are served just the same as in a regular cart. It is here where William K. Dollar, better known as Dollar Bill" and his friend, Peter Garfield, land just before they con- eeive the big idea which nets them a fortune.
 There are some excellent lines in One Born Every Minute,'' and the PoH Players are showing exactly what can be done with good material. There is action in every line of this pleas ing comedy and the audience is kept laughing throughout
 Next week the Poi Players will in troduce that wonderfully cheerin5 3 production. "Happiness.' The play tells an interesting story of that elu- sive mirage, Happiness" which is so seldom found. but always welcome.

HOoverizes Corn Used
 For Sand Storm Scene

Clarence G. Badger Is a man after Herbert Hoover's own heart. The fact that the war is over has not
 made him give up food conservation
 not he! In the picture which Will Rogers is making, there Is a sand storm scene, supposed to be out on the desert. MT. Badger, as director, arranged for a closeup studio shot to be made with corn meal sand, the lowest grade of ground corn. It was blown by aeroplane motor into the scene and caught on a canvas. Then it was swept up-of course. But was it thrown on a dump heap or burn ed? It was not! By the director s orders, it was placed in barrels and taken to the studio menageries and fed to the horses, cows, rabbits, guinea pigs and other animals there.

Pauline Frederick and
 Will Rogers to Race

Pauline Frederick and Will Rogers are going to stage a little scene of their own some day soon when they are not needed for a few hours at the Goldwyn studio. It will be one with plenty of action. too, for it is to be nothing else than a race. It all came about because on the self-same day this week they purchased cars. Each had looked at the one the other bought, and so a rivalry as to their speed has sprung up which is to be settled in the only way such disputes can be settled-by a race. Miss Fred
 erick is noted for her driving, and of course there is nothing with legs or wheels which Will Rogers can't drive, so a thrilling time is expected by everyone. including the onlookers.

Music Is as popular this year as the drama. The first brilliant concert this season was last -eek at the New York Hippodrome when Helene Kan ders sang and Ossip GabriIowitsch played the piano. Miss Flanders, who is the most remarkable of the new singers, made an impression which was highly favorable and leads mu- sic lovers to look to her for some brilliant contributions later in the season, when she appears in her own Carnegie Hall recitals.
