IN THE THEATRES
PLAZA,

One sof the strongest screen produc- tions seen here this season is Norma Talmadge's great Alan Dwan screen masterpiece "Panthea," which is now playing to capacity business at the Plaza theatre. It was originally made famous by Mime. Olga Petrova on the legitimate stage and has duplicated it's success on the screen with beautiful Norma in the leading role. Earle Fox, George F'awcett and Eric Won Stro- helm are also seen in it.
 The world-famous Peter Troupe have a splendid risley act that has never been seen here before. Jason and Harrigan, those song girls are a hit. Their harmony is excellent as they both possess good voices. Happy Jack Gardner and Company present Bull Run'' and are a big laughing success. Gladys Green and Company, before a very beautiful silk drop and setting sings and dances to the delight of all. Her closing dance is done par ticularly well. ''The Girl and the Law is an added attraction and Interna- tiona1 News is also shown.
 Announcement extraordinary is made of the booking of Jack Lon don's greatest sea story, 'tThe Mutiny of the Elsinore,'' with Mitchell Lewis and an all-star cast. It is a Metro special and will undoubtedly be the talk of Bridgeport the last half of this week.

MExIco's SUGAR CROP

Mexico City, Nov. Cit is ex-
pected that Mexico's sugar crop will
amount to more than 10000 tons.
But as the country consumes about
100000 tons annually Mexico will
continue to import sugar. Previous
to the revolutions Mexico produced
almost enough sugar for home use.
1t is said that the country would
have been in a position by this time
to export sugar had it not been for
the paralyzing effects of the ten
years of turmoil. Because of the
revolutions Mexico's output of SUI
gar has dropped more than $4,000
tons.

Junior Red Cross
1T has continued its educational
work among the school children
through its Junior Red Cross branch,
and it has, as one result of its war
experience, put preparation for dis
aster-relief on a scientific founda-
ton, so that it is NJ equipped to
meet disaster emergencies promptly
in almost every part of our coun-

"By systematic plans and practi-
cal performances it has given clear
answer to the question why the Red
Cross should be continued and car
ried over from war activity into
peace-time activity, The answer is
in the record.
Additional to these obvious as
poets of the matter, there is another
reason why |, as President of the
United States and President of the
American Red Cross, urge my fellow
countrymen to join the Red Cross in
impressive numbers: Reaction fol-

comes perilous lassitude. Sound pa

contingent merely upon the excite

of us an inward cooling of the fine
fervor which animated us in the cri-

contraction of the spirit which en-
nobled us as individuals and as a
nation, now, during the Red Cross

counsel with our inner selves to re-
