 Phil Ott and his Musical F1appers" yesterday at the Plaza Theatre scored the biggest hit of the season before order all day. Phil Ot with his com edy quips drew a wealthy of real laughs that came in lightning success sion, and theyF chorus of girls he has @< 7aJE a 1T,1- af fT71S c n to the musical mum bers, are about as pretty and as shapely an assemblage as the year has yet brought forth and we have only few more days to go in 1t. The costumes are, briefly speak ing, all in very good taste, and the chorus adorned in various hues of silks and satins showed to perfectin. Song numbers were introduced that are new here, were rendered by the Morette Sisters, Miss Abbott, Nettie Nelson and a. baritone singer to un- usual applause. It is altogether very much worth while.

 MAJESTIC.
 ''Shavings,'' Joseph c. Lincoln's wonderful little comedy of Cape Cod and its quaint folks. opened up what promises to be a pleasurable and profitable weeks stay at the Majestic Theatre the home of the Poi Play CTS. And in this adaptation of the Lincoln book it must be said that the story has lost nothing in transition. All the vital parts are retained, and so well done is the production that one can almost whif the salt sea breezes over the footlg1hts.
 Arthur Chaterdon and Ndla Mac, the leading man and woman of the PoH Players again scored personal successes in the roles allotted them. and had plenty to do with the move ment of the appealing little story of the village character" who finds up the woman to whom he has lost his heart.
 To that splendid character actor Edmund Abbey. was entrusted the question, about whom the entire ac- ton of the play hinges. And once more MT. Abbey treated. enthusiastic patrons to a weH-nigh perfect deIin- cation of a difficult role. He has done some fine things In the past, notably in East Is East'' and in "SEppy McGee' but fine as those contributions were. his irShavings' probably will stand out as the best thing he has ever done here, and the longest part he has had since being in Bridgeport.
 More honors-for honors were p1entiful-fell to the lot of little Ma rife Blake, of Walnut Beach. The winsome 10-year-old girl played "Babhie." and played it wonderfully well. All the children will partic- ularly like this little local star, for she proved last night that she will in- deed be a star some day.
 'tShavingS' is an ideal holiday att traction. for it will be popular with all kinds of children-young chil- dren. and ''grown-ups," too.
