This bene- fit to the farmer as well to the public generally readily can be seen. Transportation has long been a prime factor in distribution costs. A deep seaway would be a logical solution. The Chicago Board of Trade will work for the consummation of the waterway the same as it has sup ported all other sound movements in behalf of greater returns to the farm CT.

Make Priests Marriage
 Easier In Russia

Moscow, Oct 4-Questions relat- ing to the right of marriage or the clergy have been thrashed out at the congress of the thew living church, which aims to succeed the old orth&- dox church of Russia. The cCn2lu- sion was reached by the young clergy" as they call themselves. that virtually all restrictions or Weolock be removed.
 After devoting several days to dis . cussing matters of natrimony it was decided to permit married priests to k become archbishops; to allow priests to marry a second time and retain the same dignity as before; to permit monks to marry after they have re- .nounced their vows and without los- ing their rank of honor, and to per init priests to marry widows It was also decided not to consider as an obstacle to marriages the fourth de gree of relationship
 Reouests to the Soviet government providing for the transfer of all the treasures of the churches and monas- teries of the old regime, were framed as part of the program, gradually to take over the affairs of the old orth- odox church.
 The new living church desires the establishment of single church treasury, and in this connection ii has made plans for handling all the sums collected in the various churches throughout Russia, the gov . ernment having been asked to make take over administration of church af- fairs. This includes a tax to be col Iected from the worshippers; reve- nues from the cemeteries and the various other sources from which money is derived.

POli Review

"A Night in Spain.'' replete with sweet Spanish love songs, and gay Spanish dances. is the headliner the last half of this week at Polls thea tre. Only- occasionally is such a splendidly staged and executed act seen anywhere outside of New York The girls are exceptionally pretty and wear unique and striking costumes. There are nine people in this cast, seven of whom dance and two sing. A tambourine dance is a big feature of the act.
 Bernfce Howard and Jack White contribute their share to the enter tainment value of the program Tn an original comedy entitled The Gada- bouts.' The plot deals with a man and his wife, who are always trying to put something over one and other. The play has an interesting climax and happy conclusion. Probably right in this playlet may be found the req son of the undue unrest in the marital sea during the modern times. Nixon and Sans are dancers of the first or der. Their comedy is new, clean and original.
 Are You Listening is the title Al H. Wilson gives his little but why ask. when only deaf people could pre- vent themselves from listening to and laughing at his side-splitting line of chatter. Wilson is intent on his plan to revise the dictionary and take out all words which are no longer used or at least do not mean what they used to.
 Zemater and Smith are very good, performing acrobatis tricks with ease and grace.
 'Kazan is a stirring tale of the North, written by James Oliver Cur | wood, is the cinema feature. In the story is displayed the almost human l intelligence of the handsome dog | 'tkazan. The plot is thrilling bul l ends happily. Some of the scenes 1 are exceptionally picturesque especI-

Palace Review


 Siki the Senegalese who knocked out Georges Carpenter, the idol Of France, is shown on the Palace news reel the last half of this week. Gosh! but that boy is black! He's two shades darker than coal and never in this world will he win a prize in a beauty comp petition.
 The feature picture is While Satan SIeeps,'' in which Jack Holt is by turns crook, jailbird, minister and a roman tic lover. He cleans up a real bad Western town, mostly by the use of his fists, and in the end all things turn out happily as they should in all good pictures.
 An added feature is the picture Confidence" in which Herbert Raw inson displays plenty of that quality and knocks old man Opportunity for a home run. There are laughs as well as thrills in this picture.
 Paul Oscard and Margaret Marsh are seen in an original and pleasing dance number and Katherine Gallo way, prima donna of the St. Louis Municipal Opera company, sings two splendid solos, one of them My Hero,' from The Chocolate Soldier. A scenic picture which is the last word in artistic photography, a news reel and Topics of the Day. complete the program.

Comment in Bridgeport newspapers today contained the news that Bridge port will be treated to the best vaude- vile show seen here in years today and tomorrow when "The Spice Of Life,'' a Shubert Vaudeville Unit Pro- ductjon. holds forth at the Park. A telegram sent by the management of the Worcester theatre where the pro- duction has been playing during the past three days states that any doubt that Worcester would not respond to big time vaudeville was dispelled by the reception accorded the Spice of Life,'' the theatre being taxed to it's capacity the last two days of the en- gagernent.
 A copy of the Worcester newspaper sent to Manager Elliano contained a review written by the theatrical edi- tor who was so impressed by the show that he seemed to spare no adjec- lives in his vivid description of the production. In part, his review says, "The TivoH Girls brought cracking applause. The Hickey Brothers made

In The Theatres
POLTs PALACE THEATRE.

Double feature policies at the Polls Palace theatre are made for the en- tertainment of Bridgeport in an ultra style. The Palace has set the pace, in music, in photoplay and in present. ation.
 Today beth the Paramount special While Satan Sleeps," taken from the novel of Peter B. Kyne, and starring Jack Holt in the leading role draws thousands of picture fans to the great show-house. But as an additional
 afternoon and evening attraction the
 wonderful drama of a live-wire sales
 man who knocked opportunity for a
 home run and won fortune and a
 pretty girl to boot gives the great actor Of crook parts Herbert Raw HnSon, a chance to show himself to the utmost advantage.
 But the personal feature of the stage has not been overlooked by Warde Johnston, mana ging director of the Polls Palace theatre. He has brought direct from his successes in ballet production at the leading New York theatres, many new and novel steps for 1923 dances. In the de- | menstration of these terpsichorean
 novelties he is assisted the stagee by Miss Margaret D,3Iy.
 From St Louis grand opera, Warde Johnston has induced Miss Katherine Galloway, soprano. to offer an entirely new repetoire of songs. The Polls Palace Grand Concert or chestra will offer melodies from popular opera for critical public.

 A music festival called Eisteddfod

 to be able to participate in this fes- tival some day.
 Educated at the University of Wales at Aberystwyt, Jones came to

 Music is the handmaid of religion, according to Jones. He holds that the high morals of the Welsh are at tributable to a large extent A their Intense fondness for music. ''The fires of optimism and patriot

EMPIRE.

Is it possib1 for husoand to be- come bored with wife who permits his doing just as he pIeases? Yes if she insists upon doing it with him!
 That is the interesting situation de- picted in the Realart comedy. '"Too Much Wife" which has Wanda flaw ley as the star and will open today at the Empire theatre.
 Of course, being surfeited with Hb- erty is not the plight of the majority of Benedicts, even in the newly-wed stage-when they're least anxious for it. Most of them complain more or less bitterly, of being held down, of having to argue crafti1y just to get an occasional evening with the boys
 How would these abused lords of creation like a wife who told them that she wanted them to have a good time with their men friends, her only condition being that she would go along and help them to enjoy 1t!

LONDON AMAZED
 AT TANKS TIPS

London, Oct. 6-Those early Octo- Der days are witnessing the departure from London of large numbers ot American travellers for their homes acr oss the water. From all over the continent they have come, and the boat trains for Liverpool and South ampton bear them away on the last lap of their summers journeyings-
 Observant Londoners see in them much that is different from other tour Ssts, and notable among the excep- tips. Says the London Evening News:
 Miles of shiny black brass-bound luggage, women in tortoise shell rim spectacles, carrying bouquets and wearing shoes with heels as low as those of a mans boots, and largesse' for perspir1ng porters-
 "These are the outstanding features of the busy scenes at Waterloo just before the special trains for South anppton leave with their hundreds of Am erican passengers who are return ing home.
 7'The porters to whose lot it falls to handle the luggage of Americans homeward bound at such time count themselves lucky
 "Three porters received each 10 shillings for handling one America's 8 pile of luggage" says the reporter, f'and two porters who found seats In tha. train for the returning pilgrims earned more than 30 shillings apiece.
 'Ten pounds each in tips is the weeks record of these two men, and apparently they are not kings at the game.
 '.There is a man here,'' one of them told the reporter "who will make eight or nine pounds today. You may get one shilling, two shillinss, five Shillings or one pound in a tip" he added Hotel porters who bring the luggage here often receive three or four pounds
 It. is almost always the Americans who give such extravagant tips, and some English folk who are not given to squandering money in this way oo not ike them any the better for do-

 Jones makes a business of hand ling large crowds. He trained a cho- rus of more than 500 voices, picked from Kansas City churches. which participated in two pageants present. ed in connection with the convention of the International Sunday School Association held here last June.

Adoption of this resolution followed an address in which Doctor Karl Loe- ming, university professor of Halle, warned of the dangers threatening Germany's invalids. He traced the disastrous effects which high vests, lack of medicine and food, shortage of housing, etc, have produced in in creased illness throughout the coun- try, and said that similar conditions were developing in, countries border ing Germany.
 Doctor Looming expressed the hope that the many friends of German medicine on both sides of the Allan tic, who availed themselves of Ger many's opportunities for professional instruction in times Of prosperity, would now come forward to provide the necessities for meeting the sit uation.
 The conference was held in connec- tioa with Hamburg's Overseas Week.

1.-THE SPICE OF LIFE"
(Park Review.)

The Shubert vaudeville program ''The Spice of Life" at the Park thea ter the last three days of this week, is exceptionally we11-named for the performance is just full of ginger and pep contracted from pepper, another spice for all the variety programs yet presented in this. city by the Messrs. Shubert, this is without 8 doubt the best.
 It is difficult to truthfulIy and un- biasly state which act was the best be- cause of the superior quality of all the sketches. Julia Kelety, the French chanteuse, won the hearts of her audi ence by her delightful accent and French and English songs. Several times she was called back for her splendid rendition of the song Roses in Picardy." Kramer and Boyle, the Hickey Bros. and Frank Gaby all con tend for the honors of the premier comedian Of the show. but Little Sylvia Clark, billed as The -Klassy Little Klown,' very nearly outdoes all the male contestants for the place.
 The Twelve London Tivoi Girls, a dozen dainty dancing darlings, in their first American appearance are a de- cided hit. The difficult dances and drills executed by the girls were very well received and they were forced to respond to many encores. The Misses Wainwright, three charming little girls present their songs and dances in an unique manner.
 The costuming of the female mem bers of the cast in the Spices of Life' is by far the best thing which has ever been seen in a vaudeville show in this city. The georgeous white silk and silver gowns worn ir ''The Cameo" number sung by Miss Rita Bell and Ray Greene, resemble those which might only be found in some first class musical production in New York.
 E'The Spice of Life'' is another proo1 that Q MeSSrS Sh1herf m f0 their promise to give the Bridgeport public at reasonable prices only the best artists, the best scenery and the l best productions obtainable.

them laugh till the tears came. Julia Kelly's act is in a class by itself, the applause given Frank Gaby stopped the show. and in fact the quality and gorgeousness of the whole production approaches the standard set by the best of musical comedies
 To those not familiar with the style of entertainm ment offered by the Shu- bert Vaudeville Unit Production it might be explained that these pro- auctions are presented by an aggre- gation of vaudeville acts of strictly big time calibre The second half of the entertainment introduces a one act musical comedy presented by the vaudeville artists and a chorus of 30 girls. The Shuberts, producers of a large percentage of the dramatic and musical comedy hits which appear each season also produce these vaude- vile entertainments and their success Is best demonstrated by the willing ness of several Of the highest salaried performers to sign contracts to ap- pear as features in the vaudeville. unit shows. Matinees will be given daily.
