POLI'S.

Despite the indictment weather last evening, the POh theatre was crowded to the doors. People are taking ad- vantage of the opportunity of seeing the all-star vaudeville bill at the the atre the last half of the week, which all goes to show that Bridgeport does appreciate good. vaudeville. It would be difficult to say which act is the best on the bill as they are
 all good That being the case, we might as well start at the opening.
 After the Pathe, which among other things, shows our General Pershing
 during his recent stay in London, cheered by thousands, and the dough- boys on parade, The Brominos open the vaudeville with as clever a mu- sical act as has ever been seen in Bridgeport:
 Green and La Fell follow with 6
 number of new songs, which are sung by Miss Fell with MT. Green at the piano. MT. Green, who was formerly ] pianist at the Castle House, also plays i several speciality numbers on the piano.

Theatre Reviews
EMPIRE.

A new method of double exposure something that has never been shown on the screen before-will be seen in Alice Brady's latest Select Picture, His Bridal Night" which comes on Sunday evening to the Elm pire Theatre.
 During the filming of this sprightly farce Jacques Monteran, who was do- ing the camera work, was suddenly called away to France and George Folsey, his assistant, stepped in as substitute. Kenneth Webb, who di- rected the picture, and MT. Folsey combined forces, and under the su- pervision of the director they deve1- oped a new idea in double exposure, in which no dividing lines can be no ticed, and In which characters cros= each other and do other seemingly impossible stunts. This is all seen ir His Bridal Night" which is said to contain some of the finest photo graphy the screen has even seen.

HOPES TO END
 TROLLEY STRIKE

Pittsburgh Aug 16-Hopes that the strike of 5000 motormen and con ductors of the Pittsburgh Street Railway Company which has tied up transportation here since Thursday midnight would be settled within a few days were entertained following a conference this morning between the receivers of the company, rep resentatives of the strikers and Mayor E. V. Babcock. A settlement of the wage dispute by compromise was proposed. The compromise fig ure mentioned is a nine cents an hour increase. The receivers have cen firm in their stand of a six cents an hour increase, recently awarded the trolley men by the National War La bor Board, while the car men stick to their original demand of 12 cents an hour.

COAL SHORTAGE
 THREATENS TO
 CAUSE DISASTER

Berlin. Aug. 15-(By A. P.)-That all Europe is facing disaster in the coal situation is the common opinion of industrial and shipping leaders who have been conferring on the subject here for the last few days Walther FheIing of Hamburg, a shipping ex- pert. in discussing prospects of the coming winter so far as Germany is concerned. declares the fuel situation will positively prove a more potent reviver of acute Bolshevism than food.
 ''The question is. can the hungry people stand added privation and freezing for three or four months?" he said Machine guns may subdue Bolshevism but they cannot yield coal"
 Experts estimate the shortage in the German coal output for the next 12 months will be approximately 100, ,O0O. 900 tons and predict the Unit ed States will be called on to offset the continental shortage.

LYRIC.

''The Unpardonable Sin" will be the attraction at the Lyric theatre, begin ming Monday night. The engage ment is for the entire week, matinee and evening.
 It is being shown in the important theatres of the United States as a special attraction, and will not be available for patrons of the estab- lished motion picture theatres for many months. The photoplay is in ten reels. and provides an entire af- ternoon's or evenings entertainment. IA special musical score has been pro vided for the picture. Blanche Sweet is starred in the picture, which was made by Harry Carson. with Marshall Neilan directing the production.
 Much of the comedy in The Un- pardonalble Sin"---for there is com edy a-plenty in addition to pathos in this extraordinary Harry Carson pro duction---is provided by two able lit tie screen actors, who will be partic- ularly welcomed everywhere by mem bers of the Boy Scouts of America. One of the youngsters plays the part of member of the Belgian organtza- tiOn of the Boy Scouts and the other announces to his chance acquaintance that he is an American Boy Scout, hailing from a little town in Kansas. The two youngsters match their wits against those of adults in the cause of Humanity, and get results which, in some instances, are as amusing as they are gratifying. Bobby Connolly well known to picture patrons the country over, because of past per formances, plays the part of the Bel gian youngster and Wesley Barry, a comparative newcomer in big photo play productions, does remarkable work as the ragged little American who ran into so many difficulties when a terrible tragedy left him friendless and alone in Europe.
