ADJUSTMENTS
MADAM X PLEASES.

madame X" by Alexander
Dumas, the famous French novelist,
was the offering of Murphy's Come
dians at the Green Tent last evening.
The play is standard melodrama,
protraying the life of woman who
has been robbed Of her love and
driven from her home by selfish
husband. Drowned in the rapture Of
his own success, the man neglects the
woman he has pledged to honor, pro-
tect and obey. She reaches for the
innocent pleasures that she worships
and in wild rage is driven from
thehome.
Thirty people are used in the pro-
duction, which is undoubtedly the
biggest offered by Murphy's since
their arrival in FL Centro. The play
will be repeated for the remainder of
the week.

AUTO, ROAD DOPE.

The routeIvia Riverside, Mecca and
Blythe is still being favored by the
bulk Of the travel between Los Angeles
and Phoenix although quite few cars
are using the longer route via Needles
and Parker. It is possible to use the
Yuma route but on account of the
present poor conditions encountered
approaching and leaving Yuma, that
route is not. recommended. A consid-
erabel portion Of the travel between
Imperial Valley and Phoenix is using
the new road via inland and Blythe.
! AS an Indication of the heavy travel
over the Blythe route, records Of the
Ehrenberg Ferry across the Colorado
rived show an average of 65 cars per

 The amount of gambling carried on both in public places and in milady's drawing room is amazing said Rev. Edwards
 "In regard to the extremes of fash ion," he continued, "and the desire of girls to deplete their eyebrows, it is appalling"

A crowd rushed the police who had kept them away from an automobile carrying the women.

Bridgeport styles are a knockout wallop for decency and Bridgeports So says MT. Edwards in reading his valedictory to Bridgeport.
 Aside from these few faults, Mir. Edwards believes that Bridgeport is g. pretty decent sort of place after all. In talking to a Times reporter today. he said:
 ''I have found the people of Bridge port most approachable, and not at all as I expected to find them- The reputed cold New. England spirit, which we westerners have been led to believe exists here, is missing. l have made many staunch friends here and I regret to leave them"
 The ''blue law advocate admitted that there might be worse places than Bridgeport, and that Brooklyn may be one of those places
 AS far as the city is concerned" ]" he said there are only certain parts and things which I dislike The thoughts of making my new home in Something of a reverse English boost for Brooklyni
 Our present day style of hoofing around a polished floor to the deli Shrfll-voiced clarinet, a moaning saXo- phone and other instruments which go to make up a jazz orchestra, finds no supporter in Rev. Edwards. He can't COHpTenenu IL, ana It IS ulSSuSlinS anyhow. Jazz itself should be retired along with Jack Barleycorn, but rag time is tolerable if administered in small doses.
 If Bridgeport theatre owners de- pended on Rev. Edwards patronage for living they would have died from starvation long since, unless they got | jobs with the city. During his two years stay in Bridgeport, Rev. Ed
 wards never attended a local theatre
