 Park Theatre Tonight
Priscilla Dean Changes From Reel
 Life To Real Life

Priscilla Dean. UniversaFs engag- ing star, who has been occupied in the filming of "The Virgin of Stam- boul," under Tod Browning's direc- ton for the past five months, is now spending all her time with dressmak- CTS and miIliners. In the big screen production she has been playing the role of a beggar girl in the streets of Constantin ople, which required no modern costume and the brown stain on her face and arms required by the character, prevented her from taking part in any social activities She has therefore decided to make up for lost time while resting between pictures.
 As a result, Mike, champion chauf- feur of the West coast, and who is now guiding the destinies of Miss Dean's huge Packard, threatens to go on strike. During the five months consumed in the filming of the pie ture, Mike had a comparatively easy time of it, and is doing nothing now but shooting from one modiste shop to the other.

YEP! THE QUEENS
 TOO BLAME!

Artists are in a serious quandary They are hard up for beautiful girls to pose for them. As usual, the nov ies stand in a fair way to take the blame. Of course, all the artists don't say that all the girls deserted the pastel studios for the cellu1oid, but they do insinuate, in no uncertain terms, that if it weren't for the pre- cedent set by. Alice Joyce, Mabel Nor mand and other famous stars, such an idea would never have occurred to the pretty adjuncts of their work. Some models, like Kay Laure1l, left to go into the Fol1ies-but only came to the screen in the long run. Some went to France to do war work, others married nillionaires, or near million aires, but the fact remains that the dismay among artists is like unto the dismay in the heart of MT. Ziegfeld. The screens to blame.

TOO MUCH REALISM

The recent heavy rainfall on the Pacific Coast enabled Philip Rosen to secure some wonderful effects for current production, ''The Road to Di- vorce," starring Mary MacLaren. The scene requires Miss MacI4aren to go out in the surf in a skiff, to be car ried out to sea by the tide and over taken by a terrific rainstorm. The two days of rain permitted the direc- tor to secure some fine shots, aI- though the actors, director and cam eraman were thoroughly drenched in filming the scenes.

THE PARK.

Bridgeport rarely has the oppor- tunity of witnessing comedy as clever as presented at the Park thea tre last evening by the Selwyns- Headed by Arthur Byron, Laura Hope Crews and Frederick Perry, Tea for Three" offered d delightful evening 5 entertainment. The usual triangle, treated in an unusual way via the comedy route, is robbed of any i'm moral taint by the philosophy and brilliancy of its lines. The situation of a man satisfied to love in his mind cnly, is rather a difficult impression to make upon the husband of the woman loved, yet Arthur Byron skill fully portrays this seemingly cynical man of the world with all grace of a cultured gentleman.
 Laura Hope Crews, as the wife, possesses a grace of charm and man. ner that pleases immensely. As the husband who appears to be wrapped up only in himself until awakened by the nobility of the other mans un- selfish love, Frederick Perry was splendid.
 The intelligent theatre goerS of Bridgeport need no introduction to these three fin~, actors and they de- serve a packed house at tonight $ performance.

Stroheim Looking
 Over Scripts

Erich von Stroheim is considering three or four manuscripts With a view of selecting his third production for Universal. MT. von Stroheim prefers stories of a Continental character, but with American characters. He likes European stories, because he is in timately acquainted with every phase of life on the continent, and his choice of American characters is due to the fact that theatregoers best enjoy fol- lowing the fortunes of personalities with whom they are familiar.
