Bridgeport is fortunate in having within her gates Miss Jessie B. Prin- seasons 'fMother,'' opposite to Frank Bacon's Pa Miss Pringle is being entertained for a week at the home of Mir. and Mrs. James Suspicion, at 2737 Main street Mrs: Suspicion and Miss Pringle are old friends, their acquaintanceship dating back to be- fore she graced Polls Plaza. Stock company, eight years ago. as leading woman Miss Pringle was here TOT five years, and her splendid work will be remembered by all those who fol- lowed the fortunes of one of the most successful stock companies in this city.
 Miss Pringle, like so many of the worthwhile great, is extremely dith- cult to make talk.
 ''I don't want folks to think that I am footing my own horn, she said, in her ininlitable throaty con traIho. Perhaps that voice-toSeth- CT with her admirable actins-are the things tIfat one remembers most about her, having seen her once. But she is reserved, almost shy, when the talk centers about herself and her work.
 Stock Good Training
 'tBut I will say a good word for stocIx,'' she conceded 'I have never regretted my work of IS years in the stock The training is beyond imag- ination. It is a great school for all work on the stage. Its opportuni- ties are limitless and I wouldn't give up one minute of my stock experience for anything. It's rather unusual, but the entire cast of Lightnin' is composed of stock people. MT. Ba- con himself was a stock character man and he feels just as I do about it.
 +tI can't begin to say enough about Pa, for MT. Bacon and have work ed so long together that we call each other by our character names" con tinued Miss Pringle. ''He is Pa to me and I am Mother to him. He is the dearest soul-everybody loves him. He wrote the play, you know, and his first effort as a playwright witnessed also his first real star part, after many years on the stage But he deserves it all, and it hasn't chang ed him a bit He is just as human, just as sweet, just as humorous in real life as he is as Bill Jones'
 You see. Iightnin was launched at an suspicious moment" went on Miss Pringle. "It was during the war and folks were more or less sa- tiated with war 0lays. The ubiquit-'

After an arduous days work in the studio while filming her latest Paramount picture, Foot lights" Miss Ferguson decided to go picnickiug in a three-piece frock of sand color, the drab effect of which was relieved by the brilliant henna lining. This was emphasized by the close fitting henna hat with veil to match, the veil being long enough to twist around the throat and reach to the bottom of the tunic.

More than half a million persons in New ' York and over 3o0,00o in Chicago have seen "The Bat" the biggest dramatic hit in years. thus far. Moreover, these totals are be- ing increased by a thousand or more each night in both cities. ''The Bat'' comes to Bridgeport early in the fall.
 Wallace Reid, who came from the Basky lot in Hollywood, CaL,. to CO., star with Elsie Ferguson in Peter Ibbetson" in the Paramount. eastern studio, has returned to the Coast where he will soon begin work in another picture.
 Betty Cornpson. Paramount star tells how, when she began film work the very first picture she made was based upon her experience in getting the ngegement. The producer, who was making comedies saw her in the theatre, doing a vaudeville act. He sent a note round to say he would like to have her call at the studio. She went and had a test made. She went again for a. second test and then she got the job

Now in its 1,6O0th per forma ance-somewhere around there it is still going strong. Lightnin' is an institution, like the Hippodrome. Everybody sees it, and then goes home and tells all their friends and neishbors to do likewise. It will live in memory as did Rip Van Win kle and The Old Homestead' and for the same reaSon-because it is a clean( folksy, wholesome drama.''
 RFcesved Ovation After Absence
 Miss Pringle hasn't changed notice ably since she was here eight years ago. She is just the same sweet, ap- pealing person who took Bridgeport by storm then. In fact, Mrs. Staple ton tells with pride of a visit Miss Pringle made to the Plaza after she had left the city and upon her recog- hilton the ovation she received was more than an unusual one.
 Why, the audience simply would not be satisfied till she stood up in her box and bowed again and again, 9 said Mrs. Sta pleton.
 Perhaps the finest tribute to Miss Prtngle's art was given to her by an unnamed person who said to her once:
 'eWhy, you're no different off stage than when you act!'
 ''BuC never act, replied MISS Pringse, simply.
 And that is the secret of her sAc- cess, and she says. herself it is the secret of any success on the stage. Naturalness ad an utter absorption in the part given to one to play these are the keynotes to good work.
 'T will say about myself, though" continued Miss Pringle in a depreca- tory voice, that even though I have played Mrs. Jones for nearly four years I have never Shirked my part It is rather difficult to play the same role for so long. but somehow, the audience gives one the incentive to put it over right. Each audience is different, and when think that they have never seen the performance be fore, somehow it spurs me on to do my best"
