PARK

Beginning with tomorrow after noon Jacob and Jermon's all-star "Burlesque Review with Harry k Morton and Stella. Russell will play at the Park theatre, Characterised wherever they have appeared as the master burlesQUe show of the sea- son" the "BurIesque Review comes to Bridgeport highly recommended and with the stamp of approval of every large city in which 1t has been produced.
 Surely no better team than fun ny Harry k. Morton and Stella Rus sell can be found anywhere on the stage? NortOns character, different from any other in burlesque, is one of the best known and this season the efficiency firm of J. &5 J. have furnished him with an abundance of material rich in comedy and setting. This season Morton is given greater opportunity to display his versatile talent.
 Miss Russell, she with the magnetic personality and winning smile, is al- ways a, welcome visitor to Bridge port Her famous personality song Is perhaps the most popular number ever sung on any stage for 1t has lived it's way into many years and wherever she appears requests are made on her to sing it AtLrac- tive naturally and beautifully gown ed, Miss Russell presents the most stunning personality that probably will visit Bridgeport this year.
 Broadway producers of musical comedy have made Miss Russell flat tering offers to desert the burlesque stage, but this she has refused to do. She is still bound to Jacob 6o JermOn by an irOnclad contract. Burlesque loves Miss Russell as much as she loves burlesuue and the two are in separable.
 But this season J. & J. have spar ed no expense. They have gone the limit end expended an enormous amount of money furnishing the two headliuerz5 with a, trult aLtractiVely, beautiful chorus of real girls, gIn- gerry, snappy and nifty with talking feet'' and a ready smile. The other principals are all appropriately cast and all in all the company is per haps the best that has played the Park theatre. Critics have praised highly the scenic settings and musi- cal numbers, which are absolutely brand new and the most pretentious in burleSque.
 That Bridgeport buriesque fans will swamp to see "The Burlesque Review in large numbers is evident from the advance sale already re- corded.

IIXTSII.

Following closely upon the un- equalled success of last week comes another record-breaker in the pro- duction of the thrilling double drama. Yes or No," which is the attraction at the Lyric theatre this week. There are two leading men, two leading women, two villains in fact every thing about it is double until the audience almost imagines that they are seeing double. The settings are produced on a revolving stage and the long waits so usual at ordinary produCtiOns are entirely eliminated. The two stories told in the play are very similar except that the one is of the rich and the other of the poor. but has a tendency to show that both classes have similar clouds upon their horizon. In the case of ther ich hero inc her answer is ives" when asked to leave her heIpmeet while the poorer woman is willing to stand the gAff' as her husband puts it until he has attained success and she answers mo" to the tempter.

KEEP SMILING AND MAKE OTHER PEOPLE LAUGH

There was a time.' says Miss O'Ramey, when it was the ambition of my young life to make audiences weep. I imagine that is the first symptom exhibited by most girls af- ficted with stageitis. Some of them get over it quickly. I did-thanz goodness!
 q was born in a little town out in Ohio. We didn't get many shows there, but I read a lot about plays and acting in the papers and maga- zines and I just knew I had it in me At school, on Friday afternoons. l recited pieces and when the teacher selected something tragic and full of soul and tears. And I always had a splendid time declaiming them. So did the school. It laughed. That annoyed and pained me at first, but gradually I began to be proud of ii and then tried to make them laugh. [ succeeded, too.
 Well I'm mighty glad it turned out that way now. I care not wh7 makes the audience cry so long as ] can make it laugh"

 Out in sunny California when Ar chic was playing the pictures he was a riot but after sometime before the camera decided to wander around the country having a streak of 'wUn .. derlust' in his makeup.
 Contacts apIenty keep pouring in on this genial funnaker and he will play vaudeville in and around New York city after his local engagement and in the latter part of August aDes into rehearsaIs for a Broadway pro- auction. Having made his permanent home in Bridgeport where has a host of friends he is sure to be given an ovation as soon as he makes his D. pearance.
