wife. Professional cares make the the scientist preoccupied and appar- entIy indifferent to his wife's heart happiness.
 It is a splendid opportunity for a Iove-bandit to get in his work. an opportunity that Lieutenant von Steuben of the Austrian army could not consistently overlook. The Hun hounder of women be- gan his work. He nearly broke down the womanly resistance of the beauti- fuI, woman. Then occurred the strange incident that makes Blind Husbands supreme in heart inter est.
 The role of von Steuben is DOT trayed by Count Eric von Stroheim, formerly an officer of the Austrian army, who wrote, directed it and plays the principal role. Beautiful Francelia Ellington supports the star and a strong cast of Universal players add to the ap- peal of the production. The players supporting Stroheim and Miss Bill l ington are Sam DeGrasse, H. Gib- 1 son-G -Gowland, Valerie Germonprez ! and Jack Perrin.
 On unsurpassed overlapping 1 scenery, vigorous dramatic action and the very uniqueness of the dar- ing plot ''B1ind Husbands" makes | it's bid for the plaudits of the pie ture loving multitudes.

NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTERS
 BIG FEATURE OF CIRCUS

When the Raymond W. Harris Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, open their big street fair and carnival on the Fairfield avenue circus grounds tonight the pleasure loving public of Bridgeport will be treated to an out door amusement attraction operated on different scale than anything heretofore brought to this city.
 The Stevens Bros' Model Exposi- ton which is furnishing the attrac- tions for the celebration has been produced in a manner so different and so far ahead of anything in the same line of outdoor amusement as to defy competition. The exposition consists of 12 feature shows and five new riding devices. It has just com
 pIeted ten days engagement in New York City where it excited the won
 der and admiration of all who visited
 the grounds. It has been construct
 ed on the lines of the big San Fran ! cisco Exposition, and has been called
 by many who have seen it in opera ton "A Travelling Coney Island" It
 carries a merry-go-round, Ferris wheel and other rides so dear to the
 hearts of the children as well as the grown ups. The clowns, aicrobats and
 circus riders will be on hand on the
 opening night to carry out their part
 of the entertainment, likewise our old friends, the freaks and strange peo- pie from all over the world who will be on exhibition in the big circus side show 150 feet long and crowded with attractions both new and novel, But the crowning feature of the | entire celebration will be the $10,000 production, Neptune's Daughters,
 with the disappearing diving girls | from the New York Hippodrome. 1 These ladies dive from a high altitude into a tank and disappear right be- 1 fore the eyes of the astonished audi ence. This is the first season this at l traction has been on the road and it
 is causing a great sensation wherever | it has been produced.
 1 Every evening there will be a band concert on the grounds at o'clock | by Shells Military Band and a thrill 1 ing free exhibition by Captain Harry 1 Bour.
 The Veterans of Foreign Wars have | spared no expense in bringing this | wonderful organization to the city
 and look forward to a record attend
 ance. The show grounds are conven- 1 iently located at Fairfield avenue and | are easily accessible from all parts ot | the city. Extra car service has beer | arranged for and the comfort and
 convenience of visitors is assured.

WEST END

A play of rare scenic sp1endors, of deep emotional moments, of stirring dramatic incidents, finely acted and superbly directed is the new Selz- nick Picture, "Out Yonder," starring g charming Olive Thomas, which opens a two day engagement at the West End theatre tonight.
 The role of F'F1otsam,'' in which Miss Thomas is cast, is totally diff ferent from any which she has thus far essayed F1otsam is a ragged little sea waif, the daughter of a lighthouse keeper, whose life is spent on lonely reef in the Atlan- tic. No place here for the gorgeous creation of the French modistes that the fair Olive has heretofore shown to such advantage, and yet she never before has been more charming nor made a greater appeal
 Many sectacular incidents and ex- traordinary scenic effects are em- bodied in the picture and in the mat ter of realism Director Ralph 1nce has gone far beyond any previous ef- fort.
 A cast of notable players appear in support of Miss Thomas, chief among them being Hunt1ey Gordon, Mary Coverdale, Louise Prussing, John Smiley, Cyril Chadwick and Edward Ellis. Larry Semon in ''The Grocery Clerk" a screaming reel comedy feature will also be shown.

LYRIC

''She Walked in Her Sleep will be produced at the Lyric theatre by the popular company of players this week. Although a farce and with most of the scenes laid in the sleep ing apartments of a fashionable ho- tel it is not a bedroom farce. There is not an objectionable line in the dialogue and the action while swift and snappy contains nothing of sug- gestiveness.
 Things are reported missing from various apartments about the hotel and in each instance they disappear under decidedly mysterious circum- stances. Doors are found as secure ly locked as when the keys were turned the night before. The house detective is non-plussed and cannot account for the disappearances of jewelry and money.
 A newly married couple come to live at the hotel and when the bride returns after visiting for a short time she finds her new hubby in the arms of a woman in deshabil1e who is kissing and loving him. Then the trouble begins in earnest but in the end it is found that the sleep walk CT has been perpetrating the robber- l ieS.

How tho Bees Work.

It is estimated that to collect one
pound Of honey $4,000 heads Of clover
must be deprived of their nectar,
necessitating 3,750.000 visits from
bees. It would seem that the reputa-
ton of the wonderful little inject for
industry has no. been overrated. Wax
is a substancei secreted by the bees,
and is analogous to the fat Of higher
animals. To produce q single pound
of wax. the bees must consume from
Is to 20 pounds of honey. This Nex-
pensive substance is used by the
thrifty insects with the greatest ecoh-
omy.-Pubic Opinion.

A Christmas program will be rendered
by the Sunday School children on Sum
day evening, Dec. 26, instead of the
regular evening preaching service.
We mention this early that everyone
may plan to attend and enjoy an even
ing with the children.
Try and not let the weather keep you
from attending the services next Lords
day. We may get some real stormy
weather before spring. Also, may we
ask, that you endeavor to come on time
as to pass through the entire service is
far more profitable than hearing just a
little more than the benediction.
