In The Theatres
PLAZA.

HLALA.
 The show presented at the Plaza theatre yesterday was a hit from every standpoint. All the acts were given rousing applause and the pie ture was in keeping with the rest of the bill There is no question about the H. H. Van Loan story Three Gold Coins," being one of the most acceptable offerings that Tom Mix has ever had. Certainly it presents him at his daredevilish best there being a happy mixture of incidents fast-moving action, good flavor of comedy, with the plot moving against a. background as picturesque as the situations are colorful and exciting
 Every act created such an impress sion that they might all claim the distinction of headlining the bill. The Gypsy Songsters have an offering that is beautiful to hear. Every member of the act possesses>~a very excellent voice and the selection of vocal num- pers IS the best. The act opens with the entire company singing My Gyp- sy Sweetheart," from the Broadway show, "The Fortune Teller,"then "Sole M1a,. Give Me-" quartette from f1goletto," and few popular num- ,oers are sung in order. The act was sensation at last nights showing Russell and Dewitt billed as the Acromed1anS, did a dancing act that created such a hit that nearly dozen curtains were taken. Lessig and Loring presenting a powerful mo- nent from a powerful play, "The Bells' also scored big. Their act is novel and highly entertaining. Be- ginning with some very good comedy and songs in front of a beautiful silk drop the couple then change to a dra- matic scene that was a work of art Mnx special scenery and effects, sang and danced to the apparent delight of everyone present. International News contained much that was inter- esting and Topics of the Day dispens- ed many laughs in the form of snap py articles from the Worlds Press
 PARK
 What will Mitzi sing In Lady Billy?"
 This is the question that is asked as soon as the public learns that the diminutive prima donna has arrived 1n Bridgeport and will be at the Park Seatre Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug " and 25
 Her songs are as varied as a March day. There is sunshine and happiness In some, boyish glee and mimicry in others and then there are those of love and memories.
 The spirit of the lyrics is sustained ty the musical settings and Mitzi's Kaleidoscope impressions are charac- teristically revealed, displaying her natural adaptability to the conditions of the comedy-romance, which devel- op snappily
 Her first number is sung when as the little countess, she finds that she has been caught in her garden over alls and she quickly says she is the gardner's son. To show that she knows all about planting, she sings "The Garden Song in which she gives advice to those who fail in raising a garden and suggests that they plant a kiss and if planted right, it will surely raise the deuce.
 She yodels in Come to Arcady'' in which all the hope. of youth pours out it's song.
 Historical Hussies' is an emphatic satire on some of the famed women in history.
 She is a Scotch, Irish, Spanish, Ital- ian and Swiss lass in her song with Manuel in the last act This song is an advantageous number for her yer satility in interpretation, singing and dancing.
 Another song that stands out like an exquisite cameo in the colorful and varied collection, introduced in the omedy-romance, is '"rhe Portrait sung by Boyd Marshall, operatic bar itone, who was Mitzi's leading man in Head Over HeelS."
 The lyrics were written especially for Mitzi by Zelda Sears, writer of plays and stories and the music is the composition of Harold Levey, a new discovery of Henry w. Savage.
