LYRIC.

Expressions of pleasure and appro-
baton are being heard on every side
since the opening of the stock season
at the Lyric theatre at the beginning
of the week The newly formed COM
pany of Poll Players scored a decided
success with the presentation of that
humorous comedy success, 1.-THE
Tailor Made Man"
''The Tailor Made Man" is one of
those unusual productions, that holds
an appeal for every person.
AS usual Arthur Chatterdon, who is
no stranger in Bridgeport. gave an
excellent account of himself and
showed by his high grade work that
he lost none of his cleverness since
leaving here last spring.
One of the features of the play this
week is the presence of Miss Evelyn
Greeley. of moving picture fame,
who appears in person and takes part
in each performance. Miss Ruth
Amos, the leading lady, also proved
her ability.

THE SHUBERT

THE SHUBERT.
.tHoneydew," play from the pen
of Joseph Herbert. the music of which
was written by the renowned musician
and composer. Efrem ZimbaIst, was
selected to open the 1920 season at
the Shubert theatre in New Haven.
This delightful musical comedy ex-
travaganza is in two acts and three
scenes, sparkles with tuneful music,
exquisite costumes and beautiful stage
settings in addition to exhilarating
comedy throughout the entire per-
Torrance.
Producer Joe Weber has given
"Honeydew' splendid cast of princi-
pals and surrounded them with a
chorus that will rank as one of the
best locking and hardest working of
the present season. The color schemes
are very original. and the Chinese le-
gend song sorry was a triumph for
the show being wonderfully well
worked out as was the flower number
in the second act. The Spanish dance
by Mile. Marguerite was q feature
which drew a large amount Of ap-
plause.
The plot of "Honeydew" which has
been invented for purely laughing
purposes serves its mission well. 1t
has to do with the complications OF
two married couple. notably that of a
divorced younS man who finds him
self again related 70 the mother OF
his first wife as the result OF his sec
ond wife.s father falling for her
snares. Hal Forde handles the bulk
of the fun-naking and is ably assist
ed by Ethelind Terry. Theresa Max
well, Dorothy Follis and Sam Ash. ,
Mr.. Ash, always big favorite here
sings several fine ballads in his usual
excellent voice. while the audience
was indebted to Kuy Kendall. Marie
Hall and Frank Gill for some re-
markedly fancy stepping. The stage
setting, one an interior and the other
sort of veranda effect are splendid
and Hazard Short. who arranged
them, has given the production most
praiseworthy setting.
'Honeydew" will be at the Shubert
theatre the remainder of the week
going from there direct to the Casino
theatre in New York.
