LYRIC (Review.)

"The Little Whopper," which open ed at the Lyric theatre last night, proved that ffb still has stratgetic value and that it is still useful fQS girl to begin life in the chorus.
 Miss Ruth Amos and Miss Edna Buckler were the fibbing fiappers. Miss Amos as Janet. who is per suaded by Kilt. interpreted by Miss Buckler, that a fib more or less is not harmful. Janet has had truth telling drilled into her by her father, portrayed by Walter Ayres, who has written book on the Evils of Lying Kitty persuades Janet to as sist in a conspiracy to get husband with a little fib-just a little whopper- Janet becomes the most arrant little fibber imaginable to help her pal Kitty.
 The music pleased the enthusiastic audience, who also applauded the antics of Arthur Griffith, whose char acteristic comedy in the character Of "OIiver Butts,' who eases the way for his master. John Harding (Arthur Chatterdon), in the trying problem that confronted the hero in attempt ing to win a. sweetheart. Jane Tarr was decidedly amusing as the prud1sh schoolmarm; Jack 'McGrath made good as George Emmet; Mabel Grif- filth as the mother of Janet was her usual self. and Foster williams and Edwin Vail assisted in specialt1es that were well received. The singing of Jack McGrath met with the usuaf responses.
 Eddy and Earl, d dancing team made a decided hit in two numbers; Introducing the WhlrlWlnd anu Apache dances.
 The ensemble numbers, the settings and entire atmosphere of the piece make a delightful entertainment.

WHEN WE WERE
 THREE IN GAY PAREE

A dozen years ago Arnold Bennett, the famous British author; Penrhyn Etanlaws. the eminent American art ist. and W. Somerset Vaughan, not ed English playright and novelist, were pals together in the Latin Quarter in Paris. Then unknown to the world of art they lived a happy go-lucky Bohemian existence. Recently Stanlaws and Vaughan met again in Paris-Paris transform ed to the back lot of the Lasky stu dio, Hollywood. And Arnold Ben nett was with them in spirit if not in person. For it was on a Latin Quarter set of Bennett's story "Sa- cred and Profane Love-" William D. Taylor's Paramount production, star l ring Elsie Ferguson, that Vaughan and Stan1aws renewed their old-time acquaintance. 1 "It brings back fond memories ,'
 wistfully remarked Vaughan as he
 glanced toward a typical wineshop, a l counterpart of the famous cafe in the
 Avenue de CEchy, which he so care
 fully described in his Moon and Six pence."

DINTY A REAL

When one sees newsboys on the street how mny times does he stop 10 Stncss these eager and boisterous salesmen may be confronted Prob ably they are living in some dingy basement and have some poor sick sister. mother or friend depending up- on them and waiting each night for them to come home with the few pen nies they get for an afternoons work Such were the conditions which brave Dinty O'Sullivan had to face. His father dead and his mother dying with consumption. Dinty at 12 years of age was the bread winner and the boss of his house. The humorous. the pathetic and the thrilling incidents in the life of this boss" constitute the backbone for the Marshall NeiIzn super-drama "Dinty" which is play ing for three days at the Plaza thea- ter.
 Although most of the scenes are laid in the poorer and the Chinese districts Of san Francisco some very fine pictures depicting the country shown at the beginning of the pie ture-
 Little Wesley "Freckles'' Barry is superb in the character of Dinty- Probably no other boy in the movies could intcprct the role in just such a manner He wins the hearts of his audience by his straightfordwardnzs | and his humaRess. He makes you

 natural that it is exceedingly delight ! full

 "Prince Charming" which opened a three-night engagement at the Park Theater last evening. proved that although Bridgeport may not boast many actors, the city is en- dowed with a wealth of vocal and dancing talent The play is being presented for the benefit of the Yan- kee Division Veterans Associat ton, and even if you aren't a theater- goer you should attend. The boys of the 18th Division deserve your help.
 One, must exercise a great deal of leniency in treating with a simon pure amateur production such as this, but the fact remains that, if Producer J.

Lyon, Florence Davidson and Isabel Pillans pupils of Miss Benita Slocum, wen through the paces of a beautiful "Valse Classique" with an expertness that professionals might well envy. Another high light of the evening was also packed into this act, Mrs. Henrietta Peterson and Miss Iauret- ta Perry dancing Harlequin and the Fairy to the queens taste.
