POIi Review

| Flashes is the name of the head
 liner offered at Poi's for the first l three days. Doc Baker and his com pany have well earned the title of their act since a constant new glimpse 1 of the principals of the company are as given the audience. The fame of Baker as a quick change artist has reached Bridgeport long before his ap- pearance this time. A quick success sion of changes in his new offering g presentse him in as many characters as quickly as they could be named. He Is supported by an excellent company among which are two very clever men dancers. RusSel and Dewitt style them selves "AcrOmedians.'' That their of fer1nG IS good was evidenced by the reception accorded them at the per for1nance last night. Their dancing is Of type seldom seen. Keen and NTil- naJnS offering was received with Suf- flcIent applause to indicate that some of the audience appreciated their ef- forts. Elmer Fl C1eve wore a scotch makeup to adnear to the name he has
 given the act, Bit O'Scotch. Cleve is player when he wishes to be. For the last two numbers of his repertoir he proves that he can play
 Something novel in ''Enchantnent'' the movies, in which Marion Davies
 is starred as the yong daughter of a wealthy papa is presented when a playlet is shown as part of the picture. The story Is of a modern ''flapper'' who has numerous satellites in the roll of college boys, who are constant ly tagging after her. Her parents be- come very much concern ed over her actions and her father who is a, typi- cal solicftuous parent decides to take a hand in shaping her disposition. He obtains. as his aid, a. very popular ac- tor who is the idol of many women, to consent to varnp the daughter and to reject G1er love after he, has gained it. The opportunity to carry out the project is hastened since both he and
 the. girl play the ''principals'' in a society playette called '@The Sleeping Beauty The whole playette is enact | ed by the characters in the picture. At the crucial moment when the a. | widening kiss is to be given the sleep i ing beauty the Prince procIains his l love which has become a reality and for the moment receives reciprocation | Having become enano ored the daug11- | ter lbecomes very doctle and Qler dot | ting father is eIated but---his supposi- ton Of make believe has become a. reality and, well just like all others they live happily afterwards.'

of the stage registered the most de- Hghtful kiss, to the enjoyment of the packed house. This number was one of the best features of the show.
 Harry Morehouse was another one who reached the class of 'fhits'' with, Here comes the Groom" He was also one of those who received the re- call by a great display of handclap- ping.
 Mrs Ada Tuck Whitaker assisting in Budding Rose,' with LC>s D. Ginand as soloist displayed her talent as soloist to good advantage. She was one of the only two women in the FroIic and a better choice would have been hard to fine.
 The Grand Final.
 Hello Prosperity was the closing number by the grand chorus with Judge Bartlett introducing the num- Der with a. few words on better times The show was long, but every minute was lively and the audience left, even at late hour, reluctantly, satisfied that they had been well entertained by the Shriners.
 Others assisting in making the per- formance a success were:

English Political
 Air Cleared By Premier's Victory

Lopdon, April 4.-The overwhelm- ing victory of Premier Lloyd George in the House of Commons yesterday, when he was given the confidence of the House by vote of SIP to 94, has had the effect of a quick, violent thunderstorm in clearing the politi- cal atmosphere.
 Apparently nettled bv intimations that he was lodging a direct vote of confidence in presenting his reSOlu- tion calling for support of the govern ment's policy toward the Genoa con- ference, the premier threw down the gauntlet early in the debate and de- clared the cabinet would stand or fall on the result of the division. The re- suit left no doubt as to the strength of the government.

Sisler Thinks Ruth Is Q. K.
 As Captain

New York, April 4-For lack of something better to do the boys were standing around the lobby of the Battle House at Mobile some nights ago r.scussing this and that and their plurGIs, these and those, with neither restraint nor reservation. Among the subjects that came up for mutual MT. B. Ruth to the captaincy of the New York Yankees.
 The comment, by the way, was not altogether favorable. Indeed, subtle disposition to spool the matter might have been noted in the undercurrent of the conversation.
 Suddenly up spoke a quiet voice from the edge of the crowd:
 T think he will make very good captain"
 They turned on him avidly. pleased that someone had offered himself as a sacrifice to expert opinion. But moment. The speaker was George Sisler, great first baseman and great hitter and not exactly. the kind of person one selects, offhand. to make the object of airy perSinage-
 What Sisler Said.
 Supplementing his remark in his respectful silence that eusued, Sisler continued:
 Ruth is not only a great ball player but good at team work. He also is thinking all the time and I don't think there is a player in the league wro makes better use of what ever speed the Lord gives him. My idea is that Ruth. given this respon- sibility, will exert a great Influence upon the players. They will all re- spect him. and, if they don't. a fine battle will be on someone's hands
 The more we think of Sisters argument the better we like it. Miller HugginS is not notorious for his ability to keep his ball players happy and contented. and sometimes makes the mistake Of playing up to one more than the other.
 Ruth. as first lieutenant. will make grand buffer between the manager and his players. The chances are good that. with Ruth as field captain, there will be consider ably less dissatisfaction in the ranks Of the Yankees this season

Lyric Review

Oh dear Hen:
 With nothing good to say about 1t, I will do the right thing by you and the boys and give you a long strip of dirt on the so called musical absurd ity, and absurdity is putting it very mildly and it was only musical in the Lyric. We made great reckon ing on seeing Sliding Billy Watson, if you remember. We'll, after one little look I made a great record in getting out of his sight and the vicin- ity whene he is doing his sliding. Yes, he's still sliding, but my, O my, it's backward And as for the comedy, Hen. why we can see more in twen- ter two a. nl., Sunday morning than they pull in the whole "absurdity' in two hours. I started to read the program before the show and after went back to the program, only to stop three or four times and those times was when Lillian Harvey came graciously out and saved the show mention that the little west pocket edition,' Little Anna Propp, Is con- siderable dancer, but be it so, two girls, no matter how good, can't hold up the whole show The mystery of it all is how did Lillian Harvey come to get mixed up with such poor com panions- I think some one ought to tell her parents. As for the comedians, they had fallen arches, cracked voices and jokes that fell out of the cradle laughing at and that's that, or I'm a crocodile's rud- der.
 So, being modest in all things, I will refrain from further comment, being much afraid that you will get the impression that I didn't like the show, comedy, music or program, and while I would be greatly grieved to think that such an impression had entered your noble brow. neverthe- less I admit you would be right.
 See you in the fall.

 WITH INSUFFICIENT POSTAGE

The local Postal authorities today made the following announcement for the public of Bridgeport:
 A large number of newspapers and magazines are being deposited in the mails by the public with deficient postage.

ENPIRE.

-. A1I-or nearly all-the secrets of the motion-picture stars life inside the studio, a well as what she does away from the Klieglight's glare, are revealed in '-The Speed Girl" 3n which Bebe Daniels is starring for Realart, and which opened last night at the Empire theatre
 Miss Daniels brings to the part of Betty Lee, the motion-picture star heroine, even more than the usual Daniels beauty and charm The role of the girl who developed a speed mania in her perambulator days and never outgrew it, so that she became a, daring stunt artist" fits the viva cious personality of the popular Miss Daniels to perfection and it is hard to shake off the impression that Betty Lee is really Bebe> Daniels.
 Maybe you've wondered how the willy press-agent works his wonders to perform and how he is able to get so much news-print space devoted to details about such girls as Betty Lee.
 When you see 'tp1ubby'' Walter Hiers play the part of Soapy Taylor in this picture, you'll learn that. the 'Apub1ieity representattv of a rising star has a lot more to do than Just hold her dog. while she attends las guest of honor a luncheon given by a dozen young naval officers.
