LYRIC

There are only a few more chances to see Broadway Jones' the comedy hit of the season, at the Lyric thea tire. On every hand you will hear the praises sung of this clever and laughaibae rural play from the pen of George M- Conan. and on every hand you'n be told of the great work be- ing done by Minor Watson and other members of the Poh Players in de- picting those roles.
 Cohan very adroitly contrasts the city with the village and uses a myth 1cal Connecticut town - which, how ever, anyone can recognize at glance-for this purpose. It would be difficult to say whether the city or the village types are the better, but the fact remains that in the character or Broadway Jones' the Yankee Doodle Boy has created a personage who will always stand out as a real, live youngster with the gift of gab.
 Director Bernard Steele is busy putting the finishing touches on the production of The Common Law the draratization of the ereatest American novel ever written. Of course, you've read the book of the same name by Robert w. Chambers.
 The Common Law is a frank and rather audacious treatment of one Of the most vital questions of the day. It is, however, a wholesome play, but it never fails to call a spada a spade, as the read CTS of Chambers novel know very well.

POLES.

Another evidence Of the unusual pains taken to make the n1amonath r'o~ spectacle, Queen of Sheba," now playing at Polls, is the pigeons tha+ onrcn's temple. These birds, 250 in number, all white, were purchased by the Fox studios at a pigeon farm six weeks before they were to be used in iile production. They were let loose on the tower of the >l1e, Ahere they were fed and where they were housed at night.
 In these weeks they grew accus- toned to the new home and feeding place to the hustle of work and the crowds below them in the sets. When they came to play their part in the shy or frightened at noise and people. They are all white in order to show better against the dark background of the buildings.

DAWES THEATRE

"Shane," William Fox's special ,I7r'oduotion which is creating decid- edly favorable impression upon local theater-g5 5ers. concludes its one week run at the New Dawes theatre on Saturday. It will be replaced by another offering from the Fox studios, Perjury" which. it is declared. pre- sents William Farnum in the greatest role of his screen career.
 Perjury comes to Bridgeport di- rect from it's long run at the Park theatre where it achieved instantane- ous success In the attraction Wm Farnum plays a role similar in sew srai essential respects to that of Jean NalJean in Foxs screen version of Victor Hugo's Les N'serahles" New York theat1e-goers and critics, dur ing the run of "Pariury'' in the Me tropolis, declared that F'arnun sur 'passed all former efforts in his por- trayal of Robert Moore. the 1ova,b1e QufclS-tempered hero of the story.
 "Periury'' provides a supreme test of Farnum's dramatic ability for in the leading role, he is called upon to run the ganlut of human emotion. The hero first is seen as an active, ambitious factory superintendent. happy i2 his home life and In the friendships won by his enga gtns per sonahty. Jealousy and dread grip his mind, followed by red rage and finally despair when idle gossip links the name of his wife with that of his aged and wealthy employer. This is followed by a series of tragic events wrought by malicious tongus and Moore's own violent temper cul- rnirating when prison gates close upon Moore. Twenty years of life in the drab confines of his cell, instead of bittering the victim Of blind justice develope and mellow the inherent gentleness and sweetness Of his na ture.
 How Moore's vindtcatio- and the reunion with his family IS brought about, makes for one of the most in tensely interesting dramatic offerings of the current year.
 Perjury will be presented at Dawes next week in conjunction with interesting program of musical fea- lures.

Lack Dramas in Verse.

1t Is a curious thing, Ia the present
high tide Of the drama, and remember
ing that the glory of English literature
is Its poetry, that we have no good
modern English drains In verse. 1t Is
all the more remarkable because the
foremost French dramatist and the
foremost modern German dramatist
wrote their masterpieces In verse form
-"CyranO de Bergerac" by Rostand
and die Versunkene Glocke," by
Hauptmann.
John Masefield, when he writes
plays, writes them In prose, with only
slight exceptions. And so, for the most
part, have Synge. Yeats, Lord Dun
sany, and others. George Meredith
might have written poetic dramas in
the Elizabethan manner. Thomas
Hardy's "DynastssAis an intellectual
rather than a poetic masterpiece-it
has nothing of tile sublime, emotional,
thrilling, transporting power of ROs-
tand. We admire the authors mind
more than the work.-Willlam Lyon
