LYRIC

Every business man can certify to the fact that Ut Pays to Advertise, ' regardless of the method adopted but the Poli Players at the Lyric theater will bring out this fact in a highly entertaining manner twice daily all this week with the we'll known and justly famous comedy by Conan and Harris, Ut Pays to Advertise" Not a single opportunity IS overlooked to score with some sort of funnicism which combined keeps the most pessi- misdc audience in roars of spontane- ous laughter.
 Tt Pays to Advertise" successfully portrays a story of business life and the humor that can be gotten out of the most trying situations. The ef- forts of a couple of young business men who believe In advertising and the various stunts they adopt, some of which get them into trouble, are humOrously shown and give rise to a succession of laughs that will move the most apathetic auditor. Reserva- tions for seats can be made now and should be secured as soon as possible for the choice seats will be the first to go. First come first served is the prevailing motto and the early con- CTS will have the best there Is.

PLAZA

For Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day there is a bill of headliners reg istered at the Plaza theatre. Mae Calvin, George Wilson and Estelle Calvin offer their screaming comedy novelty, 'The New Fireman" The two little beauties sing some popular ballads and well chosen new rag numbers in a decidedly capable manner. George Wilson, better known as Shorty Wilson," keeps the audience bowling with his antics as the new fireman saving the pretty girls from the supposed roaring flames. Billy Elliott in an act styl- ed "A Corker In Cork,' has wealth of new jokes and stories and has 8 splendid singing voice. Francis and Duo," present a number of harmony songs in superior manner, Chauncey and Kathleen Jesse, in a clever repertoire of smart songs and dances have been delighting every audience.
 Laughter refined supreme last night when George Walsh, who puts the move fin moving pictures, appeared in 'I'll Say So'' From the time that George Walsh, as the hero, is rejected by the recruiting office on account of his fiat feet until he mar ries the beautiful heroine, dressed only in his B.

CANADIAN TROOPS
 LEAVE GERMANY

London, Jan. 26, via Montreal.--- Canadian troops are about to leave Germany. Bonn. which has been their headquarters, will be taken over by other British army contingents.
 A despatch from Reuters corre- spondent at Bonn states that during the past week German civil authori- ties at Bonn confiscated all supplies of meat, with a view to placing the population on rations. This did not affect the British troops, which are being fed by their own commissary department, but Allied soldiers who had come into town from outlying stations were disappointed when they went to any of the hotels and ordered dinner.
 Canadian soldiers, the correspond ent states. found Bonn an interesting place, although not so important as Cologne, the nerve center of the Brit ish army of occupation. The home of Beethoven is still standing at Bonn, and the despatch says:
 Not many Canadians will go home without being able to say they struck a chorII or two on the great musician s piano, and found it terribly out of tune"

POETS AT TIMES
 ARE FORGETFUL

Paris, Jan. 27-"Poets at times are forgetfuI," is the heading given in the Matin today in a paragraph ex- pressing gratitude that Gabrielle D'Annunzio, once so freely feted by Paris, has written an article for an Italian journal in which he accuses France of working hand in hand with the Jugo-Slavs against Italy. The poet, the Matin says, has raked his tory to find arguments to stir up Italy against France, going back to the carrying off of the bronze horses from St. Marks in Venice by Napo- leon.
 "D'Annunzio," adds the newspaper, recently decided he would write no more romances, but he has written one more, which this nation will read and forgive, remembering the poets previous tributes to France and the

POLES

Condensing into half an hour all the elements of a, nfe-sized musical comedy, That's Going Some" affords a ztppy healdiner in the current bill at Poh's. This snappy girly gambol contains a number of pleasing musi- cal numbers, while clever comedians and some brilliant ensembles enhance it's merit.
 "Iittle Women" adapted for the screen from Louisa M. Alcotts fla nous novel, brings to life Meg and "Jo" and "Beth'' and all the other lovalble characters of the book. The film version is pronounced a master piece of the picture directors art The Pathe News, with some interest Ing scenes from overseas, is another film attraction.
 The Harmony Girls, an organization of pretty girls, are an added ettrac- tion with their program of vocal and Instrumental numbers. Gill and Weak in their variety skit, Help Yourself, " will have an important spot to fill.
 Other attractions include Dolly Kaye and Company, in songs and dances; and Tate & Tate, presenting a very pleasing vaudeville Advertisement.

PARK

Mrs. Fiske was born in New Or leans, and now she will portray her latest creation of woman personality, a typical American Belle of the Eighties, in the new comedy, 'Mis' Nelly of N Orleans" by Laurence Eyre, at the Park theatre, tonight. It is a delightful prospect, The great actress's childhood was spent in the picturesque highly individual, and TO- nance loving city of Louisiana And 1t was there that she happened on the stage for the first time, as 1t were, when at the age of three she appeared as the Duke of York in 'lRichard I'll" Her subsequent con- quests of the Creole City involved chitl parts in King John,'' Mac beth," ''Richelieu," and one who un- derstands cdrs. Ffske can easily pie ture that distinguished lady smiling happily at those memories of her be- ginning.
 But this keenest of observers will demonstrate her strong memory in the production of the new comedy, and her analysis of the role of Nelly Daventry, the American Belle. Througout the score of important wo- man QerSonaSe5, and types which she has given the stage, there have been many which she could not have felt or been in sympathy with; but there Is much of the art of Mrs. F,iSke, for feeling or not to begin with. she has always made herself so in sympathy with every attribute, characteristic and mental process of the character in hand that she has proven herself the master of the character, and has cast aside every indication of domina- tion over her acting which that per sonality might assume over an artist of less conviction.
 And that is why the portrayal ot Nelly Daventry, the great American Belle, promises to be an eGsy, happy sympathetic creation for this real child of old New Orleans, and joy GUS treat to the audience.

CT. 60. DESIRES COOPERATION OF
 CONN. CITIZENS

The following Is an abstract from the address given by Mir. storrs, pres ident of the Connecticut company, Saturday afternoon at the annua! meeting of the Connecticut Edi- torial Association:
 F'irst-The greatest need of the electric railways in Connecticut today is a full understan nding by the public of the situation.
 Second-The causes of the sltua- ton are the accumulated burdens due to certain charges made by the state and communities, which MT. Storrs explains in his address, and the high CT cost of everything that is necessary for the operation and maintenance of the electric railways and the great loss of business that resulted from the Inability of the companies to make ends meet.
 Third-All that The Connecticut Company wishes is that 1t may be permitted to earn enough to pay its bills and a reasonable return upon the actual value of it's property.
 Fourth-The electric railways feel
 
 quired to pay the enormous sums they spend every year for pavements, whereas the jitneys, which take the cream of the traffic, private automo- biles and other vehicles have the use of these pavements and contribute absolutely nothing toward the cost of it or the maintenance of 1t. Frifth-The Connecticut Company wants it understood by its patrons that the often repeated statements that there is water" in the stock of the company is absolutely false. Mir. Storrs demonstrates that millions of i dollars in cash had been put intQ this l propci ty and that it's actual value is l millions of dollars in excess of its l capitalization.
 Sixth-It is stated that the electric l railway situation in this state is ser | iouS and that unless the companies l can have relief there is not the l slightest doubt that the fate which 1 has befallen electric railways iI 1 Massachusetts, New York and other states, will be met by the Conneci- | cut Electric Railways, namely. aban- i donment or suspension of service ana l in general greatly decreased service tO the public.
 Seventh-The situation, although l serious, can be made safe if the pub | lie can be brought 10 realize that | there is before il state, civic, social and community problem, which must
 . met by calm. careful, helpful con- 1 slderation on the part of all concern i ed.
 | Eighth-If the public wants street | railway service, and there can he nc ! question that the street railways have i developed all the communities il | which they operate, the public mus 1 realize that the railways have only 1 one thing to sell and that is trans | portation. The point is made tha i they cannot sell transportation fol | less than it costs and remain in op- | eration q great length of time. 1 Ninth-Without the co-operatio- i of the public there will inevitably 1 follow serious d.sorganization ot I hlectric railway facilities in C1Dnec. | ticut
