PARK

Breakfast in Bed,'' a farce comedy in three acts as presented by A H. Woods. opened 8 two-days' engage
 ment at the Park theatre here last
 night with Florence Moore cast as the star. It is one of the best farces ever produced and Florence Moore is the whole show from curtain rise to finale. Miss Moore eyinces only one bad trait throughout the entire show and that is she Is inclined to everyday the part with the same neglect of the other actors as she did In "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath.'' The show is
 really funny and has many delightful scenes where the situations are just naturally funny and one would not
 have to wait for the comic faces of
 Florence Moore or the cryptic words she uses to make old IT 4n Gloom leave
 in g, hurry.
 The play itself is built around the
 war when Florence Moore as Emily Duval Bates, 8 movie actress, be- comes engaged to Captain Benjamin Colby, played by Will Demtng. Be
 fore his Departure he leaves her with his chum, Jack Marston. played by Leon Gordon. Friend chum takes the movie star to ball and supper at Rector's with the result she becomes slightly ineoriated from the effects of the wine she has drunk. They go to his room and champagne Is opened to counteract the effects of the wine. As 8 result she stayed in his bed for the light and he camped on a. couch. In the morning they both get up with a hangover and Emily s fiancee comes back and sees her there. He determines to have her marry Jack Marston and under the guise of 8 mock wedding to allow his chum to get some money from his God father he slips in a real minister and the couple are legally married when they are both engaged to some one else. In the last act the nlisun- derstanding Is strengthened out hap oily. The show Is well worth going to see and is without doubt the best farce comedy which has been seen here since Ina Claire in Polly With

BRIDGEPORTERS TO HAVE CHANGE
 TO SEE CIRCUS
Big Show Will Be Given Twice Daily At the Casino.

Responding to a general and pop uIar demand by the residents in the city which is also the home of the Barnum & Bailey and Ringing Bros Combined Shows, all the leading per formers have banded together at the instance of two leading spirits and Brtdgeporters will be given an cp- portuntty of seeing a real circus dur ing the winter months and indoors It is the usual thing for the per formers immediately following the closing of the big shows to retire for the winter and they are all anxious to return to their homes and settle down until the blue birds in ths spring again call them forth to en- certain pleasureseekers all over the world.
 About four years ago a similar show was produced for the sole bene- fit of the residents of this city and it's success moved those connected with this movement to make another effort to entertain their fellow towns men with an ld-fashioned one-ring circus but with the cream of the n1ammO Oth BaTnuTn SE Bailey ana Ringing Bros. shows and the stars of the arena. Among the numbers to be given are Mme. Ella Bradna, bare back equestrtenne; Stegrist and SiI- boa, aerial performers; Hillary Long, in desperate feats of head balancing; the Casinos. the famous clowns; Miss Ruth Ptchianni, who poses with dogs and horses; Prof. Curtis and his trained bears and monkeys.
 An interesting feature Is the ap- pearance of Miss Bird Millnan. the queen Of the wire, who comes direct from ziegfeld's Midnight F'rolics to assist in entertaining Bridgeporters. The Three Comrades, the worlds greatest comedy acrobats, will also be a feature. Of course there will be plenty Of clowns, and animals just the same as regular circus and the only difference being that instead of being obliged to watch three or four big rings all the acts will be placed in one ring. The big show will be- gin next Monday afternoon and will be presented twice daily at the Casino on State street. The Wheeler & Will son orchestra will furnish the music. This is a treat and only Bridgeport will be given the opportunity of see- ing this wonderful aggregation of worlds wonders for a whole week.

After weeks of farces and come edies, it is a, revelation to see the Poi Play CTS III that delightful French drama, Remnant" which should play to ca pacity houses this week. Remnant is one of those plays which appeals to the average theatre goer beca Use its plot centers around the quaintness charm and impertinent vivac1ty of the heroine, who brings clearer under standing and bit of sunshine into the hearts of those who prefer pessirn- ism to surround their thoughts.
 No one could wish a better Rem nant' than little Mary Ann Dent1er She expresses her own personality in the character of the poor, friendIess, homeless, though completely satisfied daughter of Paris. who finds 9 friend in an equally poor inventor, with an equally optimistic nature. But the inventor had befriended an actress who now made her home with him, so little Remnant finds it quite difficult to put herself first in the affection of her new friend. The incidents which follow are replete with thrills and heart interest, and not until the final moment can the ina gination of the audience surInise the outcome.
 Arthur Chatterdon, as Tony, the h. NeulOT, was p5EIeCL-OIl from his Inttke up to his acting- Although the play gives Miss DentIer the best part, yet Arthur had opportunity to show his versatility and made an admirable hero. Mabel Griffith has so endear. ed herself into the hearts of theatre gOers that no matter what makeup she uses she is the same Irresistible Mabel It Is apparently very easy for her to make the audience hate her and at the same time like her.

 Arthur Griffin had the sweetest part in the play. He eats up three humps of sugar and fills his pockets with a half pound or more. He Is always realistic in his characteriza.- tions. Florence Hill wears a pretty French gown and provides some of the rare wit of the play, while Jack McGrath must this week personify a grouchy hotel clerk.
