Over two hundred pupils, with their mothers and relatives were present at the opening reception at the Fleurette School of Musical Drama which took place on Saturday afternoon at the ,Eltinge ballroom on Broad street op- posite the post office.
 At this delightful party the old pupils welcomed the newcomers to the school and the entire group join ed in playing a. series of pretty games after which the advanced pupils en- 1ertained with many solo dances. One of the big features of the reception came after the pupils recital when Mrs. Florence Iegere Hayes, one of the finest contraltos in the city, rem dered three solos, All For You," "1 Love You Truly" and that dear old nursery rhyme which every child loves, "The House That Jack Built"
 The Senior Girls. in pretty frocks in pastel shades presented little pink and blue favors to the pupils just be- fore the close of the affair.
 Immediately the regular program will begin at the school. There will , be classes in dancing and musical drama on Saturday afternoons and morning and a special class in toe dancing on Saturday morning under 1he direction of a member of the Fokine ballet which is now perform ! ing at the Hippodrome.
 Mrs. Mary Sales Hancort is fir charge of the school and is eager tc make it one of the finest of its kind in the East. She has had splendid results in past efforts and her pupils have appeared in numerous concerts and recita1s.

IF BACK HURTS

Flush your kidneys occa sionally if you eat meat

No man or woman who eats meat
 regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from ] the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness. bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if . the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of | sediment. irregular of passage or at- tended by sensation of scalding.

GRACE WAGNER SOPRANO OF RARE
 CHARM OF VOICE

The New York Philharmonic Or chestra which will give the first of the Stetnel-t Series of Concerts at Pol' 8 theatre on Sunday afternoon, is con- sidered one of the finest bodies of ensemble players in the world. Un- der the direction of Josef Stransky, its conductor, the orchestra holds a rehearsal every morning during the week except on Sundays and when there is 8 concert in the afternoon.
 In order to keep the minds of the members eager and alert, Conductor Stransky divides the two hours of each rehearsal into periods of ap- proximately one hour each and re- hearses different composition in each period.
 Grace Wagner, the young Ameri can singer, who will be the Soloist at Sundays concert, is a soprano of rare charm of voice and personality who has received the most enthusias- tic approval of critics wherever she has sung.
 Sundays concert will be the first | of the series which will bring sucf artists as Margaret Matzenauer, Yo- | landa Nero, Mabel Garrison, Reinal6 l Werrenrath, Jascha HeiftZ and Ser gei Rachmantnoff to this city this season. Tickets are now on sale al M. Steinert & Sons. 915 Main street

WORLDS BEST
 MATAD0RS HAVE
 SIGNED CONTRACTS

Mexico City, Oct. 25.-The worlds best matadores have signed contracts to appear here during the bull fight ing season now in progress. Fifty one Spanish bulls already are in the stockades near Mexico City.
 Much local interest Is attached to the return of Vicente Segura, the millionaire bullhghter." who ten years ago was a popular idol. Se- gura, who always has been wealthy and took up bull fighting for the pleasure of 1t. has announced that two months's training has made him phy- sically fit and he has been chosen to open the season,
 One of the greatest contests in the history of bull fighting is expected to be staged during the Christmas hoH- days when Rudolfo Gaona, Juan Bel monte and Sancrez Mejias appear on the same bill. These fighters are re- garded as the topmotchers in the game and in addition there Is intense professional jealousy which doubtless will provide many a thriller for the spectators.

Poli Review

The ininitable buffoonery and deli cate artistry of the super-cfoWn Charlie Chaplin have seldom been dis played to better advantage than In his latest picture, 'The Idle Class" Charlie portrays two characters, the happy-go-lucky tramp with a passion for golf, which is somewhat of g. para dox, and the rich young idler whose bibulous habits are a source of grief to his young and very attractive wife. lThfs description should be sufficient to identify Edna Purviance as the
 Golfers viii greatly enjoy this pie ture especially Chaplins teetotum swing. They will also find a source of merrment in the manner Chaplin employs to acquire a ball to play his game. The situations that develop on the golf course are genuinely funny and the few feet of dream in which cuing the fair Edna from peril are great.
 In his straight character his appar- ent grief over the fact that his wife cess of shaking a cocktail won a hearty roar of laughter all over the house. His antics to free, himself from the suit of medieval armor which he has donned to attend the fancy dress ball make another high light. Many of Chaplin's antics in this last picture recall to mind The Property Man" which to those who
 
 best pictures that he has ever done. "The Idle Glass; however holds up well to the high standard he has set for himself.
 The other feature picture Is "The Blot," a photoplay that takes up~the eudgels for the teaching profession and does so with such poignant ap- peal and with such humanity and art that tears and laughter mix and melt into each other like the soft hues of a rainbow. '"The Blot' is wholly the work of Lois Weber, the only woman producer of motion pictures in the world. It displays the delicacy of a brilliant woman's touch.
 The vaudeville bill which opened at Polis yesterday is considered by. ev- erybody as one of the best seen there in weeks. f"The New Producer" de- scribed as a grand opera cocktail is a poem to melody and was greeted warmly. Douglos Leavitt and Ruth Mary Lockwood are artistic reflections Their singing, their comedy. the gen. era1 staging of their offering spell big time. Barto & Clark have a genuine novelty spiced with comedy. Gertrude Morgan, a tiny girl, sings like prima donna, and Toyland Follies a manni- kin revue is highly entertaining. It is altogether a fetching vaudeville bill.
 Next Sunday, ''The Affairs of An ator' is the feature picture attraction at Poli's. The people of Bridgeport are anxiously awaiting this great photoplay.
