POLi Letter

Dear Hen: It's just plumb fooIishness for me
 to go to all this trouble to get the news to you, Hen, cause anybody
 with plain everyday common sense, like you, would only have to look at the bill to know it's a top notch little
 entertainment at Polls this week. As I say, the bill speaks for itself, so I'll make it brief and snappy. Here's the order in which they appealed to me.
 Jimmy Duffy and his Horrors of 1920" and I might say that what he looking girls that can sing, when they try, and the more they sing the better a lot of people are will like it, take it from me. Smooth act, Hen, very smooth.
 Pietro-weIL anything could say about this bird, especially with the rep he has from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, and then some, as the worlds premier accordionist,
 would sound flat. So I'll only say, there's only one Pietro. Ernie and Ernie was a big bundle of surprises. One of thenR I don't
 know which one. that is I don't know | his name, sure showed some of the people hereabouts what a man with one laig and a crutch can do at dane ing. Looks first off as if he would | get a lot of sympathy, etc, but take it from me, old side wheeler, he don't need it, none whatever. I've, seen HedpS or dancers WlIn TWO per1ectly sound laigs, that this fellow would snatch the prize from without half
 trying. The other Ernie is also 100 D. c.
 Kara, and Seki, in a, European water l specially act, was something new to 1 the natives herea bouts, Hen. No, it's not a diving act, although there's al- most enough water spilled on the stage to ake pond. It's rather c1ev- CT and odd, very odd, also he's a glut- ton for punishment. Look 'em over. The picture ''Sentimental Tommy ! is sure one of the sweetest love stories | I've seen filmed in a long time. There's no chance for you to sleep through | this picture, Hen. Just now I can't l recall when I have seen one as good | or better.

 Dear Miss Fairfax:

At present I am earning SIS per week, but my job, which is in Q hotel will terminate about September,' and don't really know what I will do af- ter that We both have learned to love each other dearly, and it would break both of our hearts, I am sure. if We separated. Do you think I ought to give her up? J. J. L.
 Where are those important quail ties, your courage, faith in yourself and common sense? Suppose your present job does end in September. aren't there other jobs? If you've done your work faithfully and have made good, how do you know your organization won't have other work for you-at a Winter resort, for in stance? How can you be sure some one you meet won't offer you an Op- portunity, and, above all, why don't YOU look around for an openinE2 Don't get out of your engagement because you're too lazy and ShiftleSS to take care of a wife

\ HEALTH TALK.

Could you think of anything more pleasant and refreshing than a plunge and a nice swim in tank of clear cool water followed by a needle shower bath. Even the delights of a dip in the ocean can not equal that and it is with this thought in mind that the management of the Atlas Hotel Turkish baths has ar ranged to offer this opportunity to the people of or visiting Bridgeport. Thy time the spirit moves you the place is open for just this sort of en- joymen
 Special arrangements have been made for the women. Tuesdays and Fridays have been reserved for Ladies Days and during the hours of 1 and s o'clock if you desire just a swim and shower without the bath the opportunity awaits you.

There is no question in my mind but that people seeking recreation - which is what most of them seek in going to a mo tlon picture hOuSe-ike to have q sense of being in the open. That is refreshing both to the eye and to the mind Besides, it emphasizes the ef- rect Of realism. Interior scenes, with their resemblance to stage settings. lack that quality. To a certain ex- tent they are of course necessary as real people spend Q large part of their lives indoors, and much of the intense action of real life takes place between four walls
