LYRIC.

That 1.-TWO F'isted Love" which is at the Lyric theatre this week, just can't keep away from Broadway, is the opinion of those who have seen Dewitt Newiug's original comedy drama. The play goes like wildfire from the very start, and introducing a prize fighter as it's chief character. lends a zest to the lines and situa- tions that develop when he runs afoul of the minister whose daughter he loves.
 Nothing like Two Fisted Love- has been seen in Bridgeport. Newing has written a big punch into his story. and has turned out what un- doubtedly is his masterpiece. This comedy of rural life seems to be in a class by itself.
 Although written about a prize fighter, the play has an appeal for everyone. Rea1-life chara cters walk across Sthe stage, act and talk like human beings. It's really a slice of life that has been brought to the Ly- ric. this week.
 Returns from the worlds series. with the latest dope" on Babe Ruth and his exploits, are being giv- en hot from the wire at matinee per formances. The Lyric has a special leased wire direct to the Polo Grounds.

London. Oct 6.-Despite the gloomy picture of London which was painted in American minds by the "oal strike and by travellers who re- summer life. the American tourist is not giving England the go-by, after all.
 Early in the summer he passed right on to Paris, or if he stopped off at London he treated it as a way sta ton and passed quickly to the more seductive path through France. Brussels, too. he preferred to London. For reasons unSpecihed Americans have been heard to remark here abouts that nowadays, after a week in Brussels, one goes on to Paris for a rest.
 Certain it was that London wasn't an American summer resort, nor were her famous seaports, nor her historic centres.

 But the strike ended. and very quickly vast hotels that had con- tained more servants by far than guests began to put out 'standing room only'' signs, and Americans with money for the best found them. selves turned into Grab family hotels in side streets.

 London Rest Cure /. London at best is a rest cure after the gay night life of the Continent, for here there's nothing left to do but go to bed after one has done a theatre. And as for midnight excur- sions, with a hope of a bite or two before going to bed-it isn't done. It can't be done, except by having your driver take YOU to cabstand, curb stone lunch wagon.
 A well known American actress gave a most miraculous dance to a score of friends recently in a big hS- tel.
