.BnAoK BEAUTY, AT POLLS.
(By Staff Writer of The Times.)

The horse is older than man, he not being so very old in the tale of the ages. The man got to the top and wrote the drama It was ages before he wrote a drama about a horse- 'BEack Beauty" which is playing at Polls the first half, is a play about a horse, to which humans and their affairs are merely incl dental.
 It may not appear to everybody that. play about a horse can be interesting. The wonderful things did not happen long time ago. The age of wonders begins with the art of printing and the things4 ''Black Beauty is a modern drama, although the book upon which it is based was written 40 years ago. It is modern in more sense than one. Men cele- brated the sex motive, made plays of thousands of years before they con- ceived the humanity which makes them treat animals with kindness. If you have a natural tendency to wish to see a play which has a horse for hero you are to this extent among the moderns. You have higher type of mind than those who will see nothing but love stories, or funny stories, or that sort of thing.
 Black Beauty is wonderfully we'll done as to its photography. It
 took many long day to make the pictures of the horses. The love
 scenes are moving. The inside story is intensely interesting. There is a cross-country race that for realism,
 has never been excelled. During this scene last nights audience broke into l tumultous applause
 Black Beauty is a worthy picture

By MABEL SHERWOOD.

That the popularity of Fritz Kreis- Ter has not dimmed one whit was clearly evidenced by the size of the audience which greeted him at Polls theatre yesterday afternoon when he appeared in the Steinert Concert Se- ries. That he is one of the beEs loved artists that ever comes to this city was clearly shown by the ovation rendered to him at the end of the program when he responded to three encores.
 Kreisler is undoubtedly the master of tone. There is much debate as to which is the greater technician, Kreisler or Heifetz, but there can be no doubt as to the supremacy of Kreisler's tonal beauty. Never is tone sacrificed to obtain some intricate technical effect and his selections in- variably are chosen for their melodic charm.
 Shows Bag of Tricks.
 The first number of yesterday s program was the Concerto No. 4 in D-Minor, Vieuxtemps. It is ex- tremely difficult from a technical viewpoint and while the Adagio Re ligioso held much of melody and feeling it was in the main chosen to display the more mechanical side of Kreisler's art. It embraced perhaps the win ole bag of tricks so to speak. The composition was sp1endidly done and the audience was quick to sho- it's appreciation.
 Some of the selections were more familiar to his hearers than those which usually comprise an artists program. Notable among these were the Indian Lament Dvorak, and the "Chanson Indoue," Rimsky-Kor- sakoff. Both are unusual, and ex- tremely melodious. They were yiver with a richness and warmth of tone a n rai iC1 1ar'c arrangement of Paderewski's Minue was beautifully played and so insist.

PLAZA.

There has never been a feature pie ture played in Bridgeport that took the hearts of the people by storm as did "Dinty,' the Marshall Neilan masterpiece with Wesley "Freckles" Barry, which started at the Plaza theatre last night for a four-day run. crowning achievement of the young ster's meteoric career and a triumph for that wi gard of the silent drama, Marshall Neilan. As "Dinty'' O'Sul- livan, a fighting San Francisco news boy, young Barry, under the master full direction of Neilan. has com- pletely captivated his audiences. In his own inimicaable way he brings out the tears and the laughs at will. There is a touch of tender pathos in this fascinating story when Dinty loses his old Irish mother. But it Is also brimming over with humor, a pretty romance and thrilling adven- ture constituting the backbone of the plot. Among the notable all-star members in support of t he star are Colleen Moore, J. Barney Sherry, Marjorie Daw, Pat O'Malley, Noah Beery and Kate Price. No one who loves good clean pictures should miss this big special Marshall Neilan re- lease for 1t 1t the best we have seen in many a day.
 The feature act for today is ''The Love Romance" a musical revue with a cast of dozen pretty girls. George and White, Murphy and Lang, Hurio and others complete the vaudeville bill.

LYRIC,

The snappy musical comedy, "The Little Whopper," opened at the Ly- ric today and should score an un- usual success. Besides the 20 musical numbers several specialties have been arranged for, among them the clever dancing team, Eddy and Earl in their famous Whirlwind and Apache dances. The music in "The Little Whopper" is of the lilt- ing kind without the jazz.
 Miss Ruth Amos, in the role of Kitty, who tells a little flo, which causes all the trouble, is well fitted for. the part Several songs and dances by the ingenue Edna Buck Ter, Arthur Chatterdon and others of the Players.
 The costumes and scenic effects are in keeping with the rest of the pro- duction.
 Tonight is souvenir night when a photograph of Miss Amos will be given away to all patrons of this playhouse. This will be a weekly institution, a picture of one of the Players being given as a souvenir each Monday night.
