LYRIC

With the wonderful success of the famous spectacular production Eyes of Youth which sees its final pres entation tonight, still fresh in the minds of the public, comes the an nouncement by the Lyric theatre management of another record breaker for presentation all next week by the Poli Players. While Eyes of Youth is a great produc- ton and deserving of every bit of the credit it received, it is no more a departure from old time dramatics than that famous drama "Yes or No' which the Poli players are now re- hearsing.
 "Yes or No" is more than a dra- ma. It is a double play, depicting life both fin the upper and lower stratum of society. While one side of the stage is being used to present a story of family life in high society. the other side is used at the same time for portraying a story of life In the tenements. The revolving stage which was much in evidence during the past week will again be brought into requisition. This is the first time that a stage of this kind has been used in Bridgeport but 1t will probably be a permanent fea- ture at the Lyric theatre in the fu- tEre.
 This afternoon and tonight will see

BOYS CONFESS
 MANY BURGLARIES

After confessing to be guilty of many burglaries committed on the East Side during the past few months three youths, two boys, age IT and the other age B, were sentenced to the Cheshire Reformatory by Judge Bart lett in the City court this morning. The court, however, susseuned sen tence and placed the boys under pro- bation.
 The youngsters admit that on last Tuesday night they forced an en- trance to the Rome theatre, Ss7 East Main street and stole $50 in cash. On the night of April 9th they broke into the Washington Park BowlingN- alley and took cigars and cash valued at $40. On four different occasions they broke into a meat market at 5 Steu- ben street and stole small amounts of money.

Jimmy Wouldn't Be
 Washed By Tears

Claiming that on account of his being unable to secure employment and the destitute condition of his wife and four small children, Stanley Muak of 1853 Hancock avenue, says it became necessary for him to pro vide his family with something to eat by breaking into the grocery store owned by A. Solorow, 58 Bassick av- enue, last night.
 This sob story was told Judge Bartlett in the city court this morn ing. The court, however, after being confronted with evidence in the shape of a professional jimmy. broken lock and hearing the police relate how Muak was caught while operating in the store, bound the offender over to 'the superior court under bonds of $500.
 Muak claims that the door of the store was open but the jimmy and broken lock constitute evidence of a contradictory character.
