HOLD-UP ARTIST IS BELIEVER IN REALISM
 IN AIDING DIRECTOR

Correct atmosphere is costly as Di- rector Edward Dillon found the other day while staging a new George Walsh picture.
 This production calls for a scene had been held up, and never had held up anybody. MT. Dillon was not con versant with the latest methods of highway robbery. After considerable speculation as to how he would put on the scene he decided to get the ad- vice of a, real hold-up man.
 Accordingly he went to a New York newspaper man, who told him that "Stick-up Larry" one of the best known members of the Gopher Gang. was open to engagements. Dillon sought out Larry in his accustomed Seventh Avenue haunt, and related his trouble.
 Why it's a pipe,'' said Larry. I'll be ttckIed to death to help you, kid Now. you walk down the room toward me'
 Dillon backed away and then ap- preached Larry. as if he were walk ing along the sidewalk. Larry strlScr him under the chin, pinionej him against the wall with one hand, and said:
 See, it's nawthin' at all. An if the sucker makes a sQuaw. crack him over the bean!"
 MT. Dillon thought he had learned the proper method, so he thanked Larry and, as a further mark of gratitude, gave him a. $10 bill.
 When MT. Dillon arrived at the studio to put on the scene, he felt for his watch, and discovered 1t was gone.
 'Stuck-up Larry" too, was l bellev- CT in realism and had taken the dfrec- tors timepiece.

PARK
NReNieM

"-Machiue Gun" laughter filled the Park last night. It started In low in termittent outbursts and ended in one mighty roar, not only when She Walked In Her Sleep" but as a re- suit of every contingency that arose as the result of the midnight ram page of a young and vivacious girl into tho hotel apartment of a young chemist with an exceedingly beautiful wife.
 Mark Swans three act farce is one Of the fost amusing and laugh-pro- voking productions ever witnessed by the writer. and from the manner in which it was received 5y a good sized audience at the Park last night, many agreed with this verdtrt.
 It is play of miX-ups, spiendidiy cast with Robert Cher, Arthur Ayles- worth. Marjorie Davis. Helen LacSaye and Isabel Irving playing the leading roles.
 The story has to deal with the trou- bles and worries Of Charles Prescott, CRooert C5er), and Bill Bruce, (Ar- thur AyIesworth). said troubles all caused because, DaFhne Arnold dMar- torie Davis), the secret wife of Pres oOtt's brOther-iu-law. walks In her sleep. She walks into young Pres colt room, throws her arms around his neck, and is so found by Pres cott's mother-in-law. Here the trou- ble starts, and it doesn't end until the drop of the curtain.
 The acting of Arthur Ay7lesworth stands out, despite the ability and re- narlSable work of the rest of the cast He Is extremely funny, a nat uraI comedian who provokes a laugh every time you look at him The play will be repeated tonight, and our parting advice is Don't Miss It.

GERMAN OPERA NOT WANTED.

The attempt of the management of the Lexington Theatre in New York last night to produce for the first time in more than two years a comic opera in German was frustrated. Al though the public demanded that the proposed performance be cancelled, the management refused to listen to the requests of its patrons and went ahead and advertised the resumption of German opera
 A threat on the part of several thousand returned soldiers and sail- ors earlier in the day to 'Tbreak up" the performance were any attempt made to stage the German piece, prompted Mayor HyIan to interfere and order the manager to cancel the engagement. But even this appeal failed so the mayor finally informed the showmen that if they failed to comply with his orders the license of the theatre would be fmmedia tely cancelled. The performance was can celled

VAUDEVILLE REVUES.

bflCSepOrt vaudeville enInuSidSts are q lenient lot. But not all of them are satisfied with the vaudeville bills that have been submitted for their approval recently. Truly, Bridgeport is not considered a hand" in the ''big time,'' but local theatre goers are hoping that some day that genial booking agent in the Palace theatre building will remember that the Park City would appreciate a real big act once in q while. Revues of all sorts have been sent here, but not all of them have been entertaining. As a matter of fact, a majority of them have been merely "dogged' on Bridgeporters.

EMPIRE

When q 16-year-oiT girl is kidnapped by a man she neither knows nor cares for and IS forced to marry him and thereafter leaves her husband without even Knowing his name, it is to be expected that interesting deyeI- Cpmeuts will occur.

NEW THEATRE HEREo

For the past three weeks rumor has had it that Bridgeport will soon have a first class theater to be de- voted exclusively to New York sue cesses. The rumor further informed the theatregoer that the proposed theatre will house KIaw & Erlanger productions as well as Shubert shows. Also that the productions will play here for a week.
 While this may sound promising and encouraging when written on paper, at O matter of fact it Is merely idle talk. Bridgeport cannot be con sidered a week-stand. Broadway pro- ducers refuse to believe that. Bridge port can support any of their pro- ductions here for a a full week. Furthermore, the Shuberts will not agree to book companies for any the atres patronized by K. & E. produc- tions.

 STOMACH SUFFERERS
Excess of Hydrochloric Acid.

A Well-knoWn authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity--acid StOn1a ch-and not, as most folks be- lieve. from a lack of digestive juices He states that an excess of hydro ChlOric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrd fluids and gases balloon. We then get that heavy, lun1py feeling in the chest, we eruc- tate sour food, belch, gas, or have heartburn, flatulence, Waterbrash, or nausea.

BUSINESS MEN IN HISTORY
Interesting Question as to Whether IL
is Better to Be Owner or
Employee.

The main object of life is doubtless
To get something out of ii besides
trouble, and so any critical comparison
OF rival methods of earning a living
cannot fail to be interesting to all
men. The only ones not affected are
the carefree hobo fitting from place to
place and the wise lad who early In
life took the precaution to marry the
lovely daughter Of the capitalist.
Now, about the matter of running
your own business or working for some
one else on salary and commission. If
we go into history the testimony is
somewhat conflicting, writes ]. r.
Sprague in Sunset. Moses was sal
aried man for the Pharaoh corpora
ton and did very well for himself.
On the other hand, our old friend Bis
marck, also a salaried man, built up
a wonderful business for his firm, but,
as SO often happens, was thrown our
of a Job when he got along in years,
and the young fellow stepped In and
took over the business.
Among those who went into business
for themselves, Mark Antony did well
and would probably have become head
Of the worlds greatest corporation IL
he had not got into fast company and
wasted his time on wine suppers,
houseboat parties, and so on.
Alexander the Great, strictly bust
ness man with no foolishness about
him, in ten years built up such tre-
mendous organization that he fretted
because there were no more good
sized towns where he could establish
branch houses. Napoleon, who was in
business for himself, prospered ex-
ceedlngly for number of years and
probably would have died rich except
Tor On unwise second marriage and
the fact that he tried to spread out too
much for his capital.
We all know the outcome of the
business owned and managed by Will
liam Hohenzollern. Interested cred
itcrs would do well to compare a Dun
or Bradstreet report on his affairs
made In the spring of 1914 with his
rating at the present time.

Americans Led In Aviation Feat.

The first aviators to fly from or to
the deck Of a warship were Americans.
Eugene Ely flew from the deck of the
scout cruiser Birmingham ON Novem-
Der II, 1910, and on January 1S, 1911,
the same aviator in flight made by
him at San Francisco alighted on the
deck of the battleship Pennsylvania
He then made a return flight from the
deck of that warship. Other Amer
lean aviators have since performed the
same feat.
