'TFELP!" CAME THE CRY,
 THEN MURDER! POLICE!"

Ray SmaIlwood and J. Luther Reed, both of the Metro forces, have a bungalow in Hollywood. So over toyed were they with their den, as they call it, that they invited the entire crowd at the studio to drop in and call on them, saying the latch was always open. Dave Thompson, James Dunn and Clifford Butler were passing the Smallwood-Rec place the other morning about ?. They be- thought of the urgent invitation ex- tended and dropped in to pay their respects to the pair, but both tenants were tout" Thompson, Dunn and Butler brought their record-breaking appetites with them and began a rummage through the kitchen and pantry in quest of food.
 Meanwhile SmaNwood and Reed arrived at their door, found it wide open, and noted that the lights inside the house were burning brightly. With the thought of thieves first in their minds, they ran to the next house, awolle the occupants and ask ed them to call the police. In due time the noted Hollywood police pa troI came on the scene of action, but ere then Ray had hegot enough cour- age to enter the house and discover the burglars were only the bunch" after all

 Newest Play

The millionaire colony wtntering in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, Cal, was treated to a grand and glorious fire last week. when a huge barn was burned to provide scenes for "Trixie From Broadway" which Margarita Fisher is now engaged in filming un- der the direction of Roy NeiU. The barn was erected on a vacant lot, which is part of the studio premises When word of Neill's plans spread a crowd that represented untold wealth gathered to witness the fire. 4 thrill ing escape was registered by Miss Fisher, who, as part of her business" in the story, leaped from the burning roof to the ground.
 Lessons in fancy dancing, dating back to Miss Fishers childhood days stood the American star in good stead in connection with the filming of the stage scenes in "Trixie From Broadway" The scenes were shot in Santa Barbara before a bonafde audience of neignborhood fans" Miss Fisher was surprised herself she said, when she discovered how

PARK.
(Reyiew.)


 Repudiattng by the actual attend ance at the Park last nighttime claim that it will take playhouse de luxe" to encourage the producing here of Broadway shows on a paying basis, Bridgeport theatre fans turned out en masse to see Polly With g. Past" It wasn't the title nor the reputation of the play which drew the largest crowd of the season to the Main street playhouse. It was simply the assurance that the original David BeIasco company. would ap- pear here. And it proved beyond aP shadow of a doubt, that Bridgeport CTS will attend a high class play, pay high class prices, etc.-if the pro- duction is of high class calibre throughout.
 Polly With a Past' as produced at the Park last night can be summed up in one word-'polished," for the play itself is that, and the cast is composed of finished artists.
 Ina Claire appeared at her best as Peggy shannon, alias Paulette Badly, interpreting the part of a demure minister's daughter from an obscure western town, came to New York to earn enough money to have her voice cultivated in Paris. She is employed as a maid by Clay Co1Ium, and is later prevailed upon to impersonate the notorious French actress in an effort to aid Rex Van File, an friend of Collum's to gain the love of a so- ciety belle-jealousy being the lever used. Miss Claire took her audience by storm from curtain to curtain.
 There were others in the cast, all of whom are worthy of honorable mention" for neither in acting, stag ing or story could a loose thread be found in Polly With a Past'
 Those who didn't laugh had some thing the matter with them, and in conclusion we hope the management of the Park will take heed of the ex- ample set last night Give Bridge porters first class productions-but give them first class casts, and they will continue to fill the payhouseI-

THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
LYRIC.

So true to real life is the intensely
 Interesting drama, "Yes or No." at
 the Lyric this week that one almost
 feels that he has really somewhere
 or somehow seen or actually heard of
 such domestic catastrophes rise up
 in an altogether happy household It
 is the same old story of a wife who
 tmagtnes her husband is neglecting
 her because business presses his time
 and he heedlessIy leaves her to her
 own devices; and she longing for the
 pleasures, glittering dreams, and for
 ''everything-ev she wants,
 listens to the rash promises of other
 men only to find @ vacant world. The play Is admirably staged with fascinating lighting effects. unique
 stage arrangements, and is stirring throughout. RepIete with heart in terest, and tragedy, the cast presents
 the story in @ gripping manner which makes the drama one of the best yet seen. The play opens with a prologue when Mrs. Nicholas Rankin, played by charming Helen Neck, a delight ful addition to PoH Players, is about l to leave her husband and home with another man, because of the uninten- l tional neglect of Mr. Rankin. To prevent her from doing this. her mother, played by Miss Alice Glenn ! ents, and Auntte Phipps, played by | May B. Hurst, tell her the story of ! their lives, which at one time reach ed the same crisis which she was now facing,
 One woman said "yes," and one said mo-" and the result helps Mrs. Rankin to decide her future. Fine dramatic work is done by Miss Clements and Miss Hurst in their strong parts in the story. Delightful Ida Nave has a part this week which brings out her sunny personality and | lively character. All in the cast ap- pear to great advantage and each one has a splendid part suited to his or her ability as an artist.
 The management is to be congrat- ulated in bringing to this city such fine productions that have but re- gently had such great success in the metropolis. Brtdgeporers areg iven a rare opportunity this week in sec ing a fine drama with splendid moral.

EMPIRE,

What Is undoubtedly the most tre . mendous of the vital problems raised by the war forms the basis of Cecil D. De Miles new Aircraft special feature For Better, For Worse. Now that the soldiers are returning the status of the man who stayed at home instead of going to France Is being discussed, Is he to be shun- ned as a stacker, or is he to be con sidered as having done his duty?

Both from the standpoint of dramatic values and timeEness, For Better, For Worse" Is one of the most important productions which has been shown in this city this sea son. It will be shown at the Empire Theatre today.

CAN YOU BEAT IT?

Harry Mercy can run for presi- dent now if he wants to and receive the support of Jeane Paige. Her al legiance to MT. Mercy came about af- ter she had firmly made up her mind to dislike him for teasing her about Paris, H. Miss Jean lives in Paris, H., and she has endured no end of kidding about this burg from Harry Mercy, whom she is support ing in odds and Ends and Paul Scardon, her director. To say Paris to Miss Paige was like waving a red flag before a bull.
 Then one day there came a letter from Paris, forwarded on to tha Vita graph studios by Miss Paiges' par ents. The envelope bore the address Paris, Sick.
 How do you suppose they located me?" asked Miss Paige. Such an address. Isn't it marvellous how the pCstoffice can understand such queer advertising?''
 Harry Mercy, on the job when 1t comes to gallantry, very promptly re- piled:
 My dear Miss Paige, it wasn't the cleverness of the postoffice depart 1nent, but the fame of the address which insured the safety of the let ter
 For a second Miss Paige looked suspiciously at Harry Mercy to see if he was being subtle and finding a new way of ridiculing her home town but he looked so innocent she decid- ed it was a compliment to her fair self, and from thence on beamed up on the erstwhile enemy to her peace.

PLAZA.

Variety is the keynote of Slhe bill of headliners now being presented at the Plaza theatre. And the Children Pay" is the feature picture with aE aII-star cast including Gareth Hughes and Bliss Milford. In addition to the fact that this picture tells a most in teresting story, it also breaches a wonderfully effective moral lesson and shows up those fathers who be- neve that a boy should SOW his wild oats and become familiar with the sins of the world at a young age rather than be given fGtherly advice in their own home. It is in seven parts
 Not dull moment was experienced through the entire vaudeville show. Jack Alfred & Company have an act that Is very well written and the stunts the offering are capably handled, It Is a real feature. Musical Echo brings out four excellent voices, two male and two female, and the selections of songs is commendable. Carroll, Heating and Fay in a comedy rube act entitled At Crows Nest Inn" were accorded good applause. Frank Juhaz with an assistant who does comedy was very clever and the comedy end of it was well taken care of by the helper. The war pictures with all the local heroes in them and the Gaumont News completes a good bill.

 Alice Joyce who has been West for a rest and vacation has returned from the Coast.
