Great Show
 To Benefit War Veterans

Despite the fact that the program for the benefit concert to be given at Polls next Sunday afternoon is not wholly completed there is every
 reason to believe, judging by the sale Of tickets thus far, and by the splen-
 did numbers already planned for on the program that the American Le-
 zion and Veterans of Foreign Wars
 posts will net a tidy sum to be a-p-
 piled to relieve the wants of needy members of their organizations in this city.
 Incidentally it might be emphasiz- ed that nof benefit concert ever given in this city has been for a more worthy cause than this one next Sun day afternoon.
 Mrs. Sylvester z. PoIi. wife of the honorary commander of both organ lzatlons, has given the use of Polls to the boys and is also aiding in secur- ing talent through the executive of fees of MT. Po1i.
 Mrs. James Cummings Barr, moth CT of Richard Cutts Fairfield, the nineteen year old boy who gave his air service, will be present as the honored guest of the Gold Star Moth CTS association and they will honor her with medal in memory of her heroic son.
 Speakers of national reputation will be on the program and the concert numbers will include the War Vet 'erans Quartet. four boys who saw service overseas two with the land forces and two with the navy. An other big number will be given by the famous Ruby Kids the little juveniles who are the pets of the disabled sol d1ers at Allingtown Hospital by req son of their many appearances there to entertain the boys.
 Last night Manager Saunders re- cevied word from Worcester that Mary Ann Dentler and Arthur Chat terdOn beloved by stock patrons ot Bridgeport in the past as they are at present in Worcester where they have been for many months are going to vices and Edmund Vail former stage director is coming on to do the an- nouncing with Bill Steinke as master of cerem onies and that in itself is an enough but at least half dozen more surprises will be an- nounced prior to the concert.
 Aside from the concert features it is we'll to mention and to recall the days of war when every one who reads this article must admit that he or she would give anything asked for in behalf of the soldiers, and now with the war over. the boys back home and many of them desperately in need of many things, all that Is asked is an expenditure of just 35 cents, every penny of which will go to the soldier fund with nothing de- ducted for expenses and for your in vestment of 35 cents the committee guarantees you concert that will positively be worth two dollars. All members of both organizations have tickets for sale and they may be. se- cured at the box offices of the local theatres. The committee hopes to announce complete plans within the next A hours in the daily press.
