Those many hundreds who witnessed her performance last evening at the Lyric were one in enthusing over her work.
 Passion" is a super-drama in all the term implies. It is totally devoid of the commonplace and maintains suspense and interest which fre- quently amounts to a veritable thrill. The story has to do with a reign of terror which engulfs a great nation as result of the king losing his sense of political proportions be- from the masses. He makes her his favorite before the very eyes of his countrymen and permits her to as sume almost complete sway over the destinies of the nation. As a tragic upshot of this fallacy on his part, which tends to spoil her, she becomes the most hated person in the whole country, and finally is the direct cause of the whole populace rising in impassfOned revolt. Then when she is most in need of powerful aid In her efforts to combat the murder ous forces working against her. the king dies and she is shorn of all he. power. A frail, helpless woman pitted against the onslaughts of mill pathetic apearance and despite her errors and transgressions of the past one cannot help but sympathize with her. One of the apealing features of the tremendous story is the undying devotion of this woman's first love the man who loved her and whom she loved in the days when she was only a milliner's maid. At the very last minute he tries to save her and loses his own life for his herOiSm-a mar tyr to his love.
 See Passion" It's worth while,

Two >-GI>ae;ty houses witnessed the first showing of Passion" at the Lyric last evening. This stupendous film drama far surpasses anything shown in Bridgeport for a long time. The wonderful settings, enormous cast and the superb acting of Pola Negri with her supporting leads go to make the story of Madame Du- Barry the most absorbing and spellbinding of dramas.
 To miss seeing Passion would be a failure to witness the most thrilling and most absorbing film dramas ever produced.
 Pola Negri is a Continental actress of the rarest charm and a, pronounce ed ability quite all her own. It is said that she is destined to become one of Americas fayorites o% the first rank, because she displays what America admires. namely, genius of a high order. Her portrayal of the chara cter of a little French mil1iner who by dint of her willful capricious- ness and ingratiating manners be- comes the ruler of king, is one of the outstanding histrionic achieve ments in the annals of the screen.
