Being a Popular
 Actor Oftirnes
 Requires Patience

Betting popular actor sometimes requires q lot of patience. Jack ker- rigan had a chance to test the truth of this recently at the Brunton stu dlos in Los Angeles.
 lie was rehearsing lively fight scene for his new comedy, Live Sparks" when a human dynamo rushed across the stage with a cam era and an armful of hats.
 "Ah- there you are, MT. Kerri- gan!'' The man dumped his hats on a chair and unlinbered his cam era. I'm district agent for the Cam eron Hat company. Calvin's my name-C. A. Calvin. We want a publicity photo of you posing in one of our new fall novelties. Now, here's a pearl grey fedora
 Jack put the hat on and ''posed.''
 Next came a stout individual with a carton of cigarettes.

SHUBERT.

If you were married to your hus- bands best friend, believing your husband to be dead, and were sud denly confronted by the said husband, not as a, ghost, but in the flesh, what would you do? Of course you are puzzled, but that IS because you are not so adroit :. playwright as w. Som erset Maughan, the noted British
 dramatist, who takes a situation as
 difficult and delicate as that and
 handles it with delicious hUmor and brilliant wit in his latest comedy en-
 titled "Too Many Husbands," which A. H. Woods will present at the Shu-
 bert theatre, new Haven, on Thurs
 day evening, Oct. 2, for an engage ment of three days.
 MT. Vaughan has more than a score of English comedies and farces to his credit, but in none of them has he so pungentIy and yet so deli
 cately satirized an interesting phase of English life as in "Too Many Illus bands" He has blended with con- summate skill, the farce, comedy and satiric elements of his play so as to satisfy the most varied tastes.
 A more distinguished cast has nev- CT come to the Shubert theatre than that which MT. Woods has chosen to l interpret ''Too Many Husbands" It is headed by Kenneth Douglas, EstelIe ! Winwood and Lawrence Grossmith ! and includes Fritz Williams, Mar 1 guerfte St. John, Florence Edney, | Beatrice Miller, Carolyn Darling, J,
 H. Brewer, Marion Buckler and l Richard Gray. The piece was staged 1 by Clifford Brooks.

PARK. eView.)

There was rather q small attend ance at the Park theatre last night to review Joseph Klay7's musical com edy some Night The show is com 9osed of some very tuneful melodies hat surely are pleasant to the ear. There is much room for Improvement in the acting as the entire company appeared to be unreasonably nervous but show a tendency to develop into 2 very good company.
 . The theme is of a, young man who las only to spend his inherited money but this excitabIe existence has no ap- peal for him which causes him tl crave excitement. Anything short of girl arrives which starts the fun.
 Gale WendaIl rendered some very pretty solos in e most remarkably sweet voice. Olive Wright came in for most of the applause last night and surely 70 one there will deny that she deserved it. No more grace ful and finished dancer has graced tre stage of any Bridgeport theatre than she. She is gIfted with a most charming stage presence that at once wins over the audience and one can see no reason why she should not reach the highest pinnacle of success as a. dancer. The entire company showed a. willingness to work and with a little more experience with their parts should develop a very good show and bring fo.th a success ful season.

 Grace George is wasted on a trifie called ''She Would and She Did," and Norman Trevor has failed to live up
 to his press agents prognostication of success in Up From Nowhere" In
 deed, this play does not deserve to be
 able advertising which borders upon
 the indecent, can win success for it. First is Last is another play which
 has failed to add to the gaiety of the season, and ''Lusmore," an Irish play, produced and written in part by Mrs. Chauncey Olcott, is rated a failure, badly acted.
 The late plays include a revival of ''FTedda Gabler'' at the Neighborhood Playhouse. At present the plays of this noted author have not received proper attention and consideration from playgoers, which makes it nee essary when they are produced to se- l feet a theatre distant from the haunts of the regular playhouses. The pres ent performance is quite praisew or thy, and should. win success further uptown. Mercedes Desmore, who act
 ed brilliantly with Margaret Ellington not so long ago, IS in this revival, and i New York at least is interested in her , happy return.
