THE CASINO

No AmeriCan musician has ever had so many hOnors paid to him as has Lieut. John Philip Sousa, who comes to Bridgeport on Wednesday, Sept. IT. with his originaJ band of 60 skilled musicians to play afternoon and even ing perfOrmau in the Casino. He received from King Edward VII the medal of the Victorian Order, which was pinned on his breast by the then Prince of Wales, who is now King George. The French government has given him the Palms of the Acad- emy and the Fosctte of Public In structor. He has the medal of the Fine Arts Academy of Hainau- Bel gium, and a large collection of. med als, loving cups and various other gifts given by academies. institutions. societies an7 individuals.

Robes cf regal splend0r are worn by NaEimova in her newest super feature, "The Red Lantern" which comes to The Empire Theatre on Sunday next. Among these robes is the heavy silken garb of the Goddess of tho Red Lantern and the awe-in- spiring habiliments of a Chinese war rior chief
 For Aahlee, tho half Chinese, hall English girl, played by Nazimova, , bears a remote resemblance to Frances Jean os Arc.

ECHOES FROM THE LODGE ROOMS

.r5f%1 lf.t a1s ]. Sf the service men: it's creed represerts the. thought Sof all: 1t is essentially a civilian orsaniza tion; II is concerned primarily with the welfare of the United States and of it's individual organization, there was absolute ac- cord in the following principles:
 First. the organization should be non partisan, concerning itself possi- bfy with policies. but never with par tisan politics. Second. it's membership should be composed of service men and women, regardless of whether they served overseas or were unfortunate enough to have their duty keep them in this country. Third, sit should be really civilian and ins it's. councils gem 1eral and private. admiral and goh, would be treated on the same basis.
 Through all of it's actions. the doc trine of Americanism stands foremost. By the impulses of patriotism gem era ted in the great war will be crystal fixed and preserved for the future good of the nation. Its fields of useful &C., tivity are bounded only by the desires Of its members.
 : The reason urge all service men not only tp join, but. to take an active part in the affairs of this organ ization, is that through it they can express them selves. In .itsa ranks they find the men who have done the same trick that they have done, and with whose ideas they are thoroughly in sympathy. They can make the organ ization what they wish, and I have no fear for anything that the organization may do so long as they take an active interest in 1t.
