The presentation, the first three days of the week. of a new playlet with music, entitled June Time" at PoIi's, brings to Brid geport as its sponsor and owner one of the best known figures of the stage and screen in this country, B. A. RoIfe.
 MT. Rolfe presents June Time as the first of a series of elaborate vaudeville acts he is to produce this summer. Each on has his personal supervision and judging from the initial production. the varieties have him.
 MT. Rolfe comes originally from Brashar Falls. New York, q bit of village. according to him, that nestles somewhere in the .lountatnS near PotsdaTn- His carly skill with the parents were both musicians. When eight years old, Rolfc was traveIing with a circus, puffin& and pulling away at his cornet to the Cntertain- ment of village folk. The following year he went to England where his fame as a prodigy grew where ever he blew.
 Later he sponsored vaudeville acts of the most elaborate sort, and six years ago started making motion pie lures.
 He has produced 94 screen produc- tions for the Metro company. and in the past two years has made SeV- eral splendid independent features. ''Madonnas and Men" presented at Polls recently was one of the newest

Dear Hen:

Dear Hen:
 Here's news Big news and news both good and with reverse English.
 knew you would like that show told you about last week. But wait till I spin my yarn about this week s program at the Lyric. I'll tell a man. !. Hen, and that includes you. that if ] you miss this weeks show I will absolutely, cross my, hart and hope to die a bum. be ''off'' you for life, be- ! eides you will miss the best show of your life This is the last week for our old friends, the PoH Players, in Bridgeport this season. Hen, and be- lieve me, they are making a grand stand fnish.'' You know I haven't missed one this season and of all fthe good ones that they have given us, this weeks, Adam and Eva" is the very best Of them all. Now you 1xnow that I don't talk through my 1 hat, so take the hint and be on deck. Remember that time you told me fyou thought that Mary Ann wouldn't be so good in every snov+? .? We'll, you just take another think. Good, I'll say she is- Hushi and the ''goodest'' thing about her is her looks. Shes some Eva" Hen.
 You know Hen, doggone if wasn't almost jealous of Arthur Chatterdon last night, wishing that I was he, just so I could play Adam to Mary Ann as Eva" Goshi why wasn't I born . handsome so I could take a, lead like Arthur?
 I don't know what we will do, Hen. when our favorBes, Mabel Griffith, Shirley Grey, Edna Buckler and Jane Tarr leave us next week. Well. there's only one thing that keeps me from getting sentimentaI-their 'fsteadies." Every one has big tall fellows that I ann afraid they might call on me at the office some day and tell me in un- mistakable terms to keep off their porches." I'd rather be a correspond ent than a correspondent, you know, Hen.
 As see it, Hen. there's only three things left for us to do-see them this week in their last and best show of bf1e season, hope that they return to the Lyric next September, and wish them all the luck in the world. Sure, knew you would be with, me. motion seconded and carried unanimously.
 It's wise thing to have your seats reserved in advance this week, Hen. so I have ten reserved for you and the gang. See you Wednesday night
