Editor Independent,
Elizabeth City, N. c.
Dear Mr.. Saunders:-
You will probably be in terested to
know that Belhaven is going to put on
a tri-county Community Fair on Nov
ember 10 and II. We are making a
supreme effort to get out real asrl-
cultural exhibit and if you are inter-
ested in seeing a real show of real farm
products just gather up your little trav-
cling effects and come along down here
and let us show you. Most of the FAIRS
that / have visited this fall are as those
every season, largely given over to ra-
ces and cheap shows. None OF THESE
will be permitted here; in their place
we are going to get out the products OF
the soil and home economics and beheve
Il will be well worth while to see.
With best wishes, / beg to remain
Yours sincerely,

KICK ON BROAD
STREET WORK

The Broad street extension plan
met with another setback last night,
when a number of citizens represent
ing taxpayers and various organiZa
tons appeared at the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen and protested
against carrying out the project at
this time.
Seward B. Price, secretary of the
Bridgeport Chamber OF commerce
voiced the opinion of most of those
opposed to the proposition, when he
declared that his organization was
hostile to the project t,<ing attempt
ed at the present time because of the
fact that school needs are Imperative
highways are in poor shape, and no
approximate cost has been estimated.
Through it's secretary, the Chamber
of Commerce recommended that these
needs be filled before any money is
expended on the Broad street plan.
Others who opposed the PROPOSE
ton practically the same grounds
were: Lynn w. Wilson, D. F. Wheel
er, William T. I1incks, F. j. Kings
bury, J. S. Hawley, Fred Atwater, A.
L. Delaney and E. H. Dillon.

VERTICAL LINES
NOTED ON NEW
SILK SCARFS

Vertical stripes are the distinguish
ing feature of the new pure silk scarfs
being shown. In commenting of this
tendency toward vertical lines, mer-
chants say that formerly buyers had
to depend on Switzerland for this
style of scarfs, but now machines so
constructed as to knit stripes of vary
ing width and of dozen color COM
bfnations are being imported into this
country.
There is a great deal of variety in
the new scarfs. some having a group
of Roman stripes down the center,
while others are chara cterized by two
tone effects in vertical lines, widths
ranging from one to two and a half
inches. Many especially interesting
numbers are shown in black and
white stripes and the Oxford mixtures.
The scarfs having cross stripes are
all made of fancy weaves and some
very interesting numbers are achieved
through the use of Persian coloring..
The demand for scarfs is reported to
be increasing stea Oily.
In the new sweaters. it is said the
best selling colors continue to be
navy and black. The rack stitch is
used to advantage in a variety Of
ways but the style of the sweaters
remains the same-that is, they all
follow the lines of the Tuxedo.

LYRIC.

That the Bridgeport pleasure
seekers have a peculiar love for stock
production, especially if produced by
an AL company such as the Lyric
theatre affords this season is being
proven at each performance since the
reopening of the new season which
has been showing unprecedented re-
suits so far. Although the first week
was believed to have been a record
breaker it does not compare with this
week when the Poll Players are play
ing to banner houses at each presen-
tation of that wonderful dramatic
success, Forever After
The production is one of the best of
it's kind that could be obtained and
Miss Ruth Amos and Arthur Chat
terdon are doing their very best to
make it even better than the original
In this they are meeting with the
most unusual success, and the work
of Miss Amos is particularly good,
cementing more firmly the friendship

WORK ON NEW POLL
THEATRE BEGINS SOON

Work on the two new Poll thea
tres will begin soon according to
statement made by Manager Saun-
ders. In fact it has already begun
on a small scale for a dozen men are
busy with preliminaries. Mr.. M.
Schaff who is in charge of the con-
struction has moved here from Hart
ford and will live here until the
work is completed.
The theatres are designed by
Thomas Lamb of New York who
designed the Capitol, Rialto, Rivoli,
and Strand in that city and the Cap
itol in Hartford which Mr.. Poll open
ed a week ago Saturday. The two
buildings will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 and seat respec-
lively $500 and $500. One is expected
to be devoted exclusively to vaude-
vile and moving pictures and the
other to legitimate attractions.
After these have been completed
and opened Mr.. Poll expects to re-
build the Lyric. This means tina.
eventually there will be four up to
date theatres in one district under
one management.

PLAZA.

PLAZA.
Tonight marks the last showing
of Pearl Whites eight act super
drama The White MolP' at the
Plaza theatre. This great film by
the author of 1.-The Miracle Man"
has created a sensation during the
showing here. The vaudeville, too,
has been scoring for the past two
days.
Starting tomorrow an entire new
show will be presented. Constance
Binney, the 1ovable Realart star will
appear in her latest success "39
East by Rachael Crothers. Miss
Binney played for two years on
Broadway in the original production
of this great play. She was charm
ing in the stage play and is even
more delightful in the screen YER
sion of this clearinghouse romance.
The management has secured this
pre-release, it not being shown in
the RiaHo, New York, until next
week. Miss Binney, sweet and de-
mure, portrays the role of daugh-
/ ter of a poor minister who has been
brought up in a careful though old
fashioned manner, and goes to the
city to make her fortune. Contrary
to the story of most chorus girls, it
was only after she had failed to find
other employment that she was
forced to utilize her church choir
training in the ranks of the chorus.
However, association with the So
phisticated 'gold diggers'' of the
chorus did not faint her, and even
when she became a premier danseuse
she still remained a sweet and whole
some girl. The play is in six acts.
Some of the acts that are bound to
find favor with the Plaza audiences
are Charles Mack and Co, presenting
the song treat "A Friendly Call
MCGOWAN and Cheney, popular en-
tertainers with songs, sayings and a
piano, Collins and Hill In a variety
comedy act, Lockhart and Leddy, a
pair of old favorites and others com
plete the show for the last half of
this week.

NATIONWIDE PLEA
MADE TO JEWS

Mr.. Albert Rosenblatt, chairman
of the Building Fund Committee,
announces that on The occasion of
the Jewish New Year which begins
on Sunday evening, September 18th,
a countrywide appeal for material
support is being made to the Jews
of America by the Hebrew Shelter
ing and Immigrant Aid Society of
America with headquarters at 229
East Broadway, New York and
branches in Baltimore, Boston, Chi
cago, hiladelphia, San Francisco
and Seattle.
Since January of this year Com
mission, sent by the Society, has been
abroad for the purpose of bringing
about the reunion of Jewish families
that have been separated by the war.
Over fifty thousand residents of this
country registered with the society,
their request with the society to have
| their families located and guided and
protected on their journey to this
| country. All these residents are well
| to do citizens and are in a position
| to take care of the dear ones, either
wives and children or parents. With
in the past few months thousands
/ of Jewish refugees have arrived in
the United. States.
Harry Ffschel, treasurer and chair
man of the Building committee,
stated that in order to meet the ex-
traordinary demands that are being
made upon the society, the former
Astor Library Building, at 425-437
Lafayette street, New York, has been
purchased and is now being remodel
led into the society's new home.
When opened, it will be the national
center for Jewish immigrant aid ac-
tivityes through which Jewish imn1-
grants will be guided, protected and
AmericaniZed.
The work of the society has the
approval and endorsement of the de-
partments of State and of Labor in
Washington and the active co-opera-
ton of the leaders of American Jews
such as Jacob H. Schiff of New York
and julius Rosenwald of Chicago. 1t
has too, the support of eighteen hun
dred national directors, leaders Of
Jewish communities in six hundred
| cities.
Mr.. schiff recently spoke in high
praise of the society commencing
the farsightedness and liberality of
its work and policies and Julius
Rosenwald wrote From my personal
, knowledge, the work done by the
Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society of America is in every
way cornmendable and they render a
great service TO the Jews OF the. en-
time nation by looking after the poor
immigrant until he reaches his des-
tination.'
The society has over 100000 mem
bers who are distributed over all sec
tons of the country. The purpose
of the appeal is to secure additional
| funds towards the 100000 needed to
complete the new home. The follow
| ing representatives of the society

GREAT WAR FILM
DESTROYED BY
GREAT BRITAIN

3 London, Sept. S-The British pub
lie has just learned from the report
of a government committee that a
moving picture film prepared by di-
rection of the War Office as a cost of
$4,000 was destroyed after the
armistice by government order be-
cause it was considered unsuitable
for exhibition in peace time. The
film was intended by the government
to show what might have happened if
England had been invaded by the
Germans but it was not ready to be
exhibited before the signing of the
armistice and consequently was never
publicly produced.
The Star reports that the film was
a masterpiece of realism. There
were MANY scenes depicting the
British countryside under enemy
rule, taken from incidents obtained
from Belgium and France and
"ba titles" were arranged in which
actual army corps took part.

William Davies, a well known
pageant producer was given carte
blanche by the War Office, which
supplied ali accoutrements needed
and a staff of naval and military Of
fcers to ensure every detail being
correct. German uniforms, helmets,
rifles and other paraphernalia from
prisoners of war were appropriated
to equip the Invading force"
\ special cinema camp was estar
lished in the neighborhood of the
inland town of Chester, so that air
plane and Zeppelin raids should not
interfere with the production. For
two or three hours on a number of
days, railway station at Chester
was closed to the public, in order
that British and German troops
might be filmed entraining and de-
training. One of the principal diff
ficulties was to induce British SOL
diers to appear in German uniforms.
The mimic fights were far more
real than the biggest fighting fiction
films have ever shown, says the re-
port.
