FRITZ KnEISlER PEERLESS ARTIST
 HERE, DEC. 3

Bridgeport is to have the pleasure of hearing for the first tine here, Fritz Kreisler, one of the greatest, if not the greatest violinist in the world. MT. Kreisler will appear in the second of the Steinert series of concerts, at the Park theater, We'd nesday evening, Dec. 8, at o'clock.
 Kreis1er is not only a violinist, but is a great pianist and composer, many of his violin compositions hay ing been re-arranged for piano. Be- ing a pianist himself, he was able to do this faultlessly, so that his com positions are as popular for voice and piano as for violin. John Mo Cormack, the great tenor, and a per sonal friend of Kreisler's, sings many of his songs, some with oblgato by Kreisler. '"The Old Refrain,'' and Cradle Song," a song transcription of the Caprice Viennois,' are two favorites that. finger in memory.
 One critic says of him, ''Kreisler, to me, is more than superb and unparalleled violinist. He is a standard for this generation as to the positively enthralling music which can be produced by man wholly sincere, disdaining all tricks-so common with many vio1inists-who gives you the composition of the masters with all his soul"

LYRIC.

Persons with real red American blood in their veins will want to see the wonderful comedy scheduled for production at the Lyric Theatre next week, "A Regular F'eller'' which will be presented by the Pon Players throughout the week. The first will appear at the matinee Monday after noon and judging from the advance information will be the equal if not the superior of anything that has been seen at this popular playhouse this season.
 Today and tomorrow will see the closing performances of that wonder full little bedroom farce: Please Get Married which created a furore since its presentation here. There is ab- solutely nothing objectionable in the entire production unless one is in clined to look at the wrong side of things and for these the author is not responsible.
 For Sunday night Manager George Arvine has arranged another wonder program. Charles Ray in Creased Lightning will be the feature closely followed by W. S. Hart in Dakota Dan." One of his best two reelers. James J. Corbett will present the eleventh episode of "The Midnight Man" and the Sennett comedians will be seen in When Love Is Blind" The Pathe News is always interesting and the concert by the Lyric orches- tra will be one of the best that has been heard here. The usual two per- forInances will be given the first at o'clock and the second at 8 o'clock with the usual popular prices prevail ing.

But when the strike was over, and the peace treaty had been signed, MT. Compton was first in the ring with the olive branch.
 q don't know why 1t is,'' he com mented the other day, "but although the actors strike is over, and we are back again on the job of entertaining there are still people on both sides who are doing all they can to sustain the feeling of discord. They are still on the job of raising hob, and only time will cure them. They remind me of the negro soldier" he con- tinued with a smile. This soldier was on the dock in France watching the departing troops with home-sfck- ness in his heart.''

 Madame Sonia Serova, the danse- use, is associated with noted danc- ing school in New York, the Vestoff- Serova school, where teachers of the United States and noted stage dancers are prepared for their artistic trl- umphs. The school occupies most commodious building devoted to this art, and dances are frequently given there for the pupils and their friends.
 At one of them, according to bright pupil, Madame Seroya, who is dainty and graceful mite of artistry, was invited to become the dancing partner to a fond father of a prom ising pupil. The event was memorable though not exactly delightful.

were giving Q mixed bill at a benefit performance in the East. It was a city with a well known stock com pany, and during the war. We were giving a Red Cross benefit, and the programme included the members of the company, some musicians and a well known singer, advertised as the famous diva The eloquence of our press agent over the diva caused the trouble, because when the program was over there was racket in front made by protesting patrons. We went out, to see what the trouble was about and found our manager vainly seeking to pacify the crowd

During that period of time MT. Quinlan has appeared in support of many of the greatest minstrel celebrities of this country. For several years he tour ed with his ovn organization, known as "Quin1an and Wells Minstrels.''
 Ethel Newcomb, the American con- cert pianiste, is the leading ex- ponent of the Leschiteziy system of piano playing and teaching in this country. For many years she was a pupil and later an assistant to the celebrated and distinguished peda- gogue in Vienna, and is now engaged in writing book of "reminiscences of the noted teacher. .
 The pupils of this remarkable peda- gogue are among the most celebrated concert artists of the world, and Miss Newcomb believes that had he lived it would have been a question of time only when his system would have become universal and without opposi- ton, if such a thing is possible under present conditions.
 'fWhy not?' the American artiste inquiries. "We have standardized everything, why not piano playing? It is necessary only that the public be convinced that it is the right way and this was being done.

POLI'S.
GReyiew.)

They put on four shows at Poli's yesterday and they needed all of them, because the vaudeville bill and the feature picture went over in fine shape. Perhaps the biggest individual hit on the program was scored by a fantastic act called Lost in the Moon," a delightful bit of conceit which kept the audience in gales of laughter from the very first. There is a company of five which interprets the little comedy, and every member of the outfit is more than capable of handling his work.
 Marguerite Clark, most beloved of all movie stars made a welcome re- appearance at Polls in the screen yer sion of Clyde Fftch's famous play Girls" It is quite some time since Marguerite has been seen at the pop ular Main street theatre, and Girls" is indeed worth waiting for.
 Marguerite takes a pledge never to marry a man, but circumstances of a comic situation arise which compel her to go back on her word. The com plications which have been built around the celebrated comedy are in- teresting as well as unique, and the photoplay won g. great deal of favor, especially from the women and the youngsters in the audience.
 Johnny Knox, a. Bridgeport lad, ac- companied by his nine-year-o1d sister who plays the piano, scored heavily with violin selections.

 Director Otto had chartered a small speed boat at Avalon on Saturday afternoon, and set out with John Ar mold, his cameraman, the latters as- sistant, and Toga Yamamoro, a Jap anese actor.

PARK.

Billy Arlington's bur1esque, "The Golden Crook" opened a three day enga agement at the Park theatre here last night and while there Is little new in the show 1t should go big as it is funny. The scenery Is beautiful and the show carries some of the finest props seen on this circuit. As much cannot be said for the costumes and the chorus but the leads and comedians make up for that loss.
 Billy Arlington with Ed. Johnston, handle the comedy end of the pro- auction and while Johnston does lit tie more than afford Arlington with leads to put his jokes across, he is fine. Arlington is better this year than ever before and tnjects plenty of pep and snap into the produc- tio.
 Juliett Belmont, as the show s pri1na donna, has a good voice and makes a, fine attraction. Ann Myers, however, Is the real star of the show with her pretty face and figure and good voice she keeps the audience in a constant good humor. Louise Barlow, another star of the feminine role, makes good with a loud bang with her dancing and interpretations of jazz songs
 The scenery is some of the best that has been seen here this year, while the chorus and the costumes would never remind anyone of a Winter Garden production. There Is a dis tinct awkwardness about them.
 Again, certain members of the az gregation seem to think that they are stars of the show and delight in put ting steps and pieces of business which are not called for, in the script.
 Taken as a show, all in all, the bur1esque t'The Golden Crook should get by good in Bridgeport during the three day stay.

THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
PLAZA.


 Will Rogers, the famous legitimate comedian, Is starring in Almost a Husband" at the Plaza theatre. It is a homely story with a homely hero, 'homely pathos and comedy that makes it extremely pleasing. It was taken from Opie Reads old-fashioned novel. This chap with his good na- tured grin and rugged countenance ambles into view at the very start and from that time on it is just one sue cession of laughs and crys. It is a sympathetic picture that appeals to the simpler emotions, there are no psychological problems involved, it deals only with plain people, and everyday joys and sorrows if the thrill situations of the night riders and the run on the bank be excepted, but there is not a moment when the in terest Iags. It Is really feature well worth seeing.
 The Aeroplane Girls in a novelty daredevil serial contrivance, keep you on edge throughout their entire per formance. They have two aeroplanes suspended from the center of the stage and on these they perform some un- usually difficult stunts. Gates and Finley, man and woman in a com edy act, t'Oh, You Hero,"L have much that is new and funny The clever people deliver their material to the best advantage and are rewarded with enthusiastic applause at the close of their turn. A very good comedy sketch entitled "Petticoat Man," has three people in the cast and it's just a succession of laughs and roars. Wikolia and Kahakalanoi in "A Hawaiian Romance play Ha- waiian guitars, sing and dance and they were surely well received. Fox News, Topics of the Day, Prisma Pic ture completed the program.

New York, November 22. - New York weepeth along the Rialto and 1efuseth to be comforted. Gaby Des- Iys, the gaby of the pearls, arrived only to return hence. She came on steamer with a lot of baggage and a masculine escort, and after the press had duly announced this fact, she started right back home again.
 It is said that Gaby has lost her cunning. It is rumored that her trip here was in the nature of a threat to a Parisian theatrical manager. Pay me my price or I go back to that dear America she threatened. And the manager let her threat. And Gaby was called upon to make good the threat But nothing was said about her not returning to Paris, and when she arrived on Broadway and visited her former conquests, she found them strangely cold to her.
 They were suffering from defective eye7sight, and just couldn't see her price. So Gaby has gone back again, gone back, alack taking with her the gentleman escort and her baggage but no contracts and no regrets.

Kane and his companions find much joy in getting a rise" from him on Irish politics, drama and the like, because MT. Kane is a radical, as might be ex- pected.
 It was at the opening of Dark Rosaleen,'' an Irish play written by MT. Kane and produced by David Be- lasco at his theatre in New York, that MT. Clark and MT. Kane were together. The author found a snug retreat from the crowd, and here he witnlessed the plays progress. When they began to call for "author, au- thor" as is the custom in New York, he became nanifestly nervous.
 "Go on the stage and make a speech" MT. Clark demanded.
