SHOWS
DICKENS PICTURE

Crowds attended the opening
showings Of Charles Dickens "Our
Mutual Friend" al the Playhouse
yesterday afternoon and evening.
The picture is enveloped with much
OF the inimitable Dickens atmos-
phore and holds the interest Of the
nicture-lovers who have a desire
FOR something different
The production contains effective
material for a moving picture. with
its pretty love story. It's melodrama
and It's delicious bits OF humor The
picture is one that holds the inter-
est OF young and old. despite the
thought OF some persons who feel
that the works Of Dickens would
interest only the older folk.
No one could help but laugh az the
iudicrous Mr.. Wigs and Mr.. Venus,
and their scenes in the latter's bone
shop. Nothing could have been more
humorous than the scene In which
the nefarious Mr.. Wigs comes 10

that he was thrown into the trough.

'Stabat Mater" Rosinni's
 Classic, Rendered By
 Catholic Choral Society

The Catholic Choral society scored a decided triumph in its debut yester- day afternoon in the auditorium of the Bridgeport High school, when Rosinnfs Staoat Mater" was render ed, under the direction of Professor M. J. Grattan, leader of the Catholic Choral society and organist at Bless ed Sacrament church.
 The first quartet work in the piece was sung by Miss Lucy Clancy. so- prano; Miss Julia Day, alto; Francis J. Doyle, tenor, and Joseph Weller bass. In a comparatively weak but sweet tenor, Patrick J. Bowe rendered the "Cufus Aninam" It would be out any one solo or duet as the pre- mier but among the best of the after noon's rendition was the duet "Quis est Homo by Miss Sarah Dillon. so- prano, and Mrs. Anna Grattan Bowe, mezzo soprano. The bird-like into nation of Miss Dillon's voice in solo parts, won much praise and applause from the audience and compared well with the heavy, strong, yet ex- tremely sweet voice of Mrs. Bowe.
 A special treat was offered by the appearance of Joseph Weller, who is very well known in the city as bass soloist. He sang '.Pro Peccatis'' and was recalled again and again by the enthusiastic audience. MT. Weller also lead the recitative "Eia Mater"
 In the second part of the classic the quartet included Mrs. Grace How ard Nash, soprano; Mrs Anna Grat- tan Bowe, alto; James Gormley. ten or; and Joseph Weller, bass Imme- diately following the first chorus in the "Sancta Marter." the audience re- ce1ved a delightful surprise in the soprano solo of Mrs Florence "Fac ut Portem." All the other sob0ists on yesterdays pro- gram have been heard before and it was a known fact that they would all do justice to this elaborate Ienten number. However it was a different case with Mrs. Hermanson She is scarcely known in the city but when she flawlessly rendered one of the most difficult solos of the afternoon she immediately became a favorite, If favorable criticism amounts to any thing, Mrs. Hermanson is due to a rapid rise in musical Bridgeport
