Park Review

The faithful bur1esque fans turned out Tuesday afternoon at the Park theatre to greet the weekly attraction, Dan Dody's Sugar Plums, and saw performance strong in some depart 1nents and woefully weak in others There seem to be few burlesque shows that can stand the pace of giv- ing the public a first class perform ance from every angle, which means from the standpoint of comedy, chorus, costumes, settings, music and book. Perhaps that is why the Peek A-Boo show became famous so soon on the Columbia circuit-it had no weak spots.
 This weeks offering shows a chorus that looks like a million dol lars compared with any seen here. in recent weeks. It Is a chorus nicely costumed, as burlesque choruses should be dressed, and not overbur- should be in the burlesque is to keep pace With present day vaudeville. The show has a chorus flat is the best trained in the way Of drills and far and away ahead of any other in the movements on each song number and ensemble.
 The show offers three principal pleasing personalities, and who work hard and often. They are Folly FNo- lette. klara Hendrix, and NHa. Joe Freed Is the featured comedian. IT
 
 he has been a second comedian on the circuit. and no doubt deserves a chance. He hasn't a chance with the material on hand. It is clean. It was clean when it was first created, and that was some time ago. He has some funny mannerisms. does a good drink ing scene and is 'assisted' by Arte Lemming who is somewhat of an ec- centric dancer but by no stretch ot the imagination Is he a comedian.
 The chorus had plenty to do, and was welcomed on each entrance. and appIauded vigorously several times One of the nren of the co>1pany does a crystal gazing speciality that Ios' five minutes of time that the chorus might have been working, during which he made the ineXcusable error of referring to a former movie favor ite who is now Cn the skids. He shoulc at least let the dead rest undisturbec and leave the attempts at comedy tc the comedians.

TO SHOW PICTURE
 nWHAT DO MEN WANT

Authorities on the big pictures given to the public this season have listed the three outstanding successes Musk eteers," and What Do Men Want" The last named production, written and produced by Lois Weber, opened at the Lyric theatre in New York City following The Three Musk and packed the immense auditorium of the Lyric for many weeks at an admission of s2.00. The story is written around the lives of a typical American family and shows the discontent prevailing at this time throughout the United States.
 Miss Weber has given to the screen 'Fypocrites.'' The Price of a Good Time" and Where Are My Chil- dren.' The lavishness evident in previous productions of Miss Weber is evidenced again in her latest sen sation. A splendid cast which in beauty. with more than average his trionic ability; Frank G1endon, a splendid type of young American business man. are seen in What Do Men Want" During the New York enga cement, it was not unusual to close the box office so great were the crowds clamoring for admission to this splendid dramatic achievement. Arrangements are now being com pleted for the early showing of leading Bridgeport theatres at an
 early date with the same splendid orchestral accompanim used dur ing the New York engagement. It is ! hoped that the popular price will be possible for the Bridgeport engage opportunity to see this unusual pro- ductiOn.

 DRAMA DIVORCED
 FROM EMOTION

London, Dec. 7.-"Good drama is as necessary to this country as Q, bath, and a bath it is for the mind,'' Miss Lean Ashwe1l, actress, told the Church Congress at Birmingham.
 But, she said, the modern theatre is entirely divorced from real emotion.
 Its roots are superficial" she de- clared, "and it deals with mere sur face emotions, instead of being deep rooted in the real springs of the re- ligious life of the community.
 ''So we get stupid, banal and idiotic works which the public apparently enjoys. The measure is the measure of what can be got at the box office. Therefore there has been a gradual lowering of the tastes of the people.

EMPIRE.

It ds seldom that an actor has the distinction of having his name in cleo Eic signs on two of New Yorks s uptown theatres at the same time. Lionel Barrymore recently had the distinction of competing with himself for pa ronage in two of the leading show houses in New York.
 It happened during the week the Strand theatre ran "Jim the Pen man. the same production which will be the attraction at the Empire theatre today. Mir. Barrymore is the star of that production, and imme- diately af Ter it was concluded he opened a, short season in a Broadway house in Ma cbeth.''

LYRIC.

A production of "Cornered" which measures up to the original in every way is the treat which the Lyric is offering this week. Of course, Cor nered' is Bridgeport's own play. It had it's frs: performance here, and local ,p1aygoers followed with interest its subsequent success in New York.
 And now "Cornered" has come to town again, and it's the very same show, only with prices cut to a frac- tion.
 In the leading role - or rather roles for E.veta Nudsen plays the parts of two sisiers-this young lady has undoubtedly scored a success that will not be readily forgotten.
 Oornered in a desperate situation, she is called pon to use her wds be- fore the police send her to a cell. Captured almost red-handed in a daring robbers, she impersonates an heiress, little knowing that develop ments will show that the wealthy girl Is her own sister.
 The manner in which she extricates herself from this difficult situation makes the most dramatic story of any that have been seen in Bridgeport In years.
