WHY BUSTER" IS FUNNY

, Three Keatons'' This after the
 medicine show days were over and the l Keatons and Houdini were giving 1 searate acts in vaudeville.
 ''The Three Keattons" have been in Bridgeport and played at Polls thea l tre. You probably saw Buster 1 kicked around and knocked down and | thrown up against the scenery by his
 father. And the same success attend | ed the little Buster" as has attend | ed the big one-and for the same req | son-his expression never changed! | It was then that Buster was the country. The Gerry society of New York repeatedly accused his father of cruelty; managers of theaters at which The Three Keatons'' appeared would be flooded with notes from sympathetic women protesting at the way that poor child was treated!'' His father used to carry him on l the stage, then drop him! After ex- ter" thrived on just such treatment, the father would pick Buster up and throw him at a piece of scenery often far as thirty feet!
 While the Kea+ons were playing in England, the manager of a London theater insisted that Buster must have been kidnapped or adopted or something like that He said no pa rents would treat their own child as his, parents treated HIM!
 But in spite of all this, Buster never had even a bruise- You see, his father was an acrobat. himself, and had thoroughly taught little Buster how to take his falls
 Ard now he is no longer Little Buster" but Big Buster and the name still olings to him. After he left the stage-having got so big that Father could no longer throw him around at will-he went into the movies, appearing with Fatty Ar buckle in a number of his best pie lures. Now he is a star in his own right, and richly does he deserve this stellar honor.
 His last picture is Hard Luck" which will be shown in Bridgeport soon- This will show this melancholy comedian at his best, using all the tricks of his trade to make the tired business man and woman laugh.
 And he never misses a charce.

LYRIC.

Despite the vein of the serious that permeates the lines of That Girl, Patsy" the clever little comedy drama now playing at the Lyric theatre, there are so many laughs that one forgets that the story is Q serious one and teaches a moral les son Patsy is a character from one of the settlement houses which are scattered about New York and she is wise beyond her years. When adopt ed by a rich family she has loads of fun with the unbending servants by making them believe she is Irish, English and French in rapid success sion must to their consternattun when they learn that she is really 100 per cent. American.
 Next week the Players will launch forth in a boudoir comedy-farce in an entirely new garment. Instead of bedroom being the principal scene of activities, most of the situations take place in a Pullman sleeper
 For Sunday night Manager Arvine has arranged another of those classy programs of music and photoplay, with that big picture, The Three of Us,'' featuring Mabel Faliaferro as the principal charac cter. Then comes a Larry Sen,on comedy, the Pathe News and the ninth episode of that thrilling jungle serial, ''Tiie Son of Tarzan." There are two shows, the first at o'clock and the second at & o'clock

They Want To Shine As Movie Stars!
By ZELDA BEDELL.


 This is the proud heritage of a Bridgeport young woman, and is one or the reasons why she wants to get into the movies. I'd be so proud if I could act like Fannie does" she exclaimed Don't you think = she is wonderful? Of course she's older now, and perhaps doesn't screen as well as she used to but she was wonderful actress, and that's what I want to be!"
 She can't be blamed for that ambi- ton, can she? seeing as she has it in her blood,'' so to speak
 This ambitious girl is Miss Myrtle Mallette, of 73S State street She is the daughter of Mrs. Minor Smith her father was the famous Minor Smith, now deceased and once noted for the shore dinners served at his shore house in Stratford
 Miss Mal1ette is a bronze blonde, if you know what mean. Her hair is fluffy and rather dark, with bronze tlnts through it. Her eyes are wide and blue, and from their looks, should screen exceptionally well.
 Fannie In London.
 Cousin Fannie is in England now she went over two years ago, and from her letters she likes it very much. Ward isn't her real name, you know-her famiy name is Mover, but she took the name Ward for her stage name. I don't know why
 When you look closely at Miss Nal lette, there are slight resemblances to Miss Ward She is rather petite, much like the famous Fannie--wno was five feet one, and weighed only 125 pounds. She has little quick move ments, and the facial contour is much the same.
 While Miss MalIette's favorite on the screen is her cousin, Nazimova the delightful Russian-Arnerican also claims much of her affection.
 T like Nazimoya," she says, "beAI ,,G'E' a -s'-- -, t'==.,5is- -=..- gan play T comedy and tragedy too, as witness her work in 'Belladonna' and The Brat two entirely opposite roles. Yet she did them both well.
 Charles Ray is my favorite among the men," she continued. He is so shy and yet so sincere-and," movie actors please notice-'he's so na-

Did you ever sit and watch Bus ter'' Keaton on the screen and wonder just what it was that made him fun ny?
 Of course Charlie Chaplin makes you laugh with his funny hat and cane and shoes-those are his comedy stock in trade.
 But Buster Keaton doesn't use any particultr makeup Inc one picture he's a tramp, in another a convict, in another just a regular n1an-each time clothed in different attire.
 If you'll think a minute, you will suddenly remember that the reason why he's so funny-the reason why he makes YOU laugh so much-is be- cause he NEVER laughs HIMSELF!
 For Buster kearton's comedy stock in trade-is his suileless face!
 Buster isn't his real name at all. He was christened that by Houdini, the hand-cuff king-or he was that then. Houdini and "Buster's'' father were owners of d medicine show, and it was Houdini who christened him ''BuSter''

What You'u Find.

There's disturbance in the movies; There's disturbance in the show. There's diStur ance-there's disturb ance no matter where you go- If the ever faithful drummer sits right behind your seat, For he carries not his drum sticks, but his ever faithful feet. It may be a waltz or a one-step to him, 'tis all the same, The poor thing can't help it, you can't hold him to blame, If the rhythme is in his body he can't but let it go. So, if you value peace don't sit in front of the drummer at the drummer at the movie show.

I thought I'd have peace for a while after that, But he then took a bag out from under his hat. Twas peanuts this time! Oh, that kid was q bore!

charged Shartle was formerly a
member of the Railway Clerks Union.
When the organization was communi-
Gated with and informed of his actions
in the Cycle Company's strike the re-
ply was received that it was no sur

bing. His card was renounced. Since
his discharge he, has been trying to
get back into the good graces of the

none of him.
While the strikers are not claiming
the credit for the difficulties the COM
pany is experiencing at this time, yet,
nevertheless, it is a fact that things
have been running wrong ever since
the inauguration of the strike. 1t
is believed that a settlement of the
differences between the firm and the
polishers is not far distant. 1t is be-
lieved that the company is beginning
to see the light" and the futility of
refusing to grant the strikers their
