Little Theatre
 League Scored
 Two Successes

Several hundred friends of the Little Theatre League gathered in the Industrial Service Center audi torium on Barnum avenue last night and witnessed two excellently pre- sented one-act plays
 Amateur productions have seld om been so professionally staged in Bridgeport, and one was forced to the conclusion that 1t would not be imp osible for most Of the young peo- ple who compose the league to make e their Ewing behind the fodthghts, should occasion demand.
 The honor of being the only woman in the cast fell to Miss Julia wife in the Sutro playlet, '"The Man in the StalIs,'' which was exceedingly clever and replete with intensely dramatic action. There were two rison, as the good natured and un- suspecting husband, and Edward B. Caldwell, Jr.. the friend who stole the love of the wife, tired of her and fallen in love with one Of her friends whom he wishes to marry. The ac- ton was so concentrated on these three actors that each of them was required to display the utmost skill to put the act across and needless to say they did splendidly.
 The s>acond part of the bill, a car toon comedy version of the Pocahon- tas-John smith legend, by Phillip Moeller, differed vastly from the first playlet. The old romantic story is delightfully."- burleSqued in a way that keeps the audience in a constant up- roar. The characters are all men.
 Charles Coles made a substantial and armorous Pokey, better known to history as Princess Pocahontas, while her Screeching and shaking old hag of a, grandm other, was most effective ly portrayed by Dr. J. F. Bresnahan. Harry L. HawIey, as Powhatan, gave up and Mrs. Powhatan, his squaw, most convincingly given by David H. Morehead, was on the scene, he had opportunity to do little but grunt.
 Kemp B. Bachelor and Oliver ". Hunter were splendid tortTayers of Captain John Smith and John Rolfe while c. H. Armstrong, Stewart lT. Weir and Paul OBrfen, were braves in more senses of the word than one, especially in braving cold stage with SD little covering.
 Of course a great deal of the sue cess of the plays is due ito the eX- cell9nt direction of Mrs. Sara Sher- man Pryor. Miss Farnam also assist ed in the direction while the sets for both plays were by MT. Armstrong, technic director.
 Before the first play and between the act Miss Adelaide Zeigler, pianist, gave two splendid renditions. while Mrs. Nanchen Adams Rosan, soprano, was heard in two beautiful sc.os.
 tner members or the IeaSuS DdfLl- cipa ting in last nights performance were Frederick s. Ashmun, property manager; Alma K. Becker an1 Mrs, Roy Clark, properties; Edward w Johnson and Enoch Sprague, electrf- clans; Lucie D. Stebbfns, Mrs. William Mclaughlin, Mrs. Leonard Asheinl and Mrs. John F. Bresnahar1, cos tunes, and Mrs. Charles Shapiro, mu- sic. The house staff included, Louis M. Pawlett and Arthur H. GueTIin, Mrs. Anna G. McMa- hon and Mrs. James c. Mixer, tickets.
 The league is now using an artistic new design as it's emblem, the work of Arthur H. Guertin.

Order Change In
 Location For Pumps

All gasolene filling pumps will have to be at least IS feet from the curb after June 1, insteod of 16 feet as at first announced. it was announced yesterday by Assistant Motor Vehicle Commissioner Vickery following a visit here This order probably will cause many small dealers of the city to go out of business.
 There are rumors current to the ef- feet that the Bridgeport branches of a large oil producing company are buying up the choicest available 1oca- lions for gas stations. Some con fir1nation to these rumors was given when J. H Cohen, auto accessories zealer, admitted he had sold the northwest corner of John street and West avenue within the last few days but would not name the purchaser.
 : plot at Wall and Water street is 2lso said to have been purchased by
 he oil company.

Release Attachment
 From Pugilists' Car

Box office receipts at the Park theatre were unmo1ested, and the handsome Columbia car belonging to former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, was released from bondage Saturday, after a hasty gathering of counsel for Johnson and sam Kohn, interested in the well known Vaude- vile act, 'The Riddle Cabaret"
 An alleged breach of contract is thought to have been the cause of the trouble. KOhn was represented by Attorney Abe GeduIdig, who caused the striking looking car to be attached at the Peck & Lines garage, Middle street. City Sheriff Hcckheiser served the papers.
 However, after MT. and Mrs. Jolln- son visited the law firm of Shapiro & Shapiro, MeigS building, the big autom obile was released. and the Columbia Bonding Company through it's agent, Attorney David Cronin, se- cured the plaintiff. The entire ac- tion was later satisfactorily adjusted.

YUK0N'S GREAT SILVER TIDE
 IS RISING

Dawson, Y. T.. Feb. 28-Yukan's great silver tide is steadily rising and the Klondike continues the banner gold producing camp of the entire Northland, says g. thirty eight page special edition of the Dawson Daily News.
 Silver mining has progressed at an astonishing rate in the last two years. Fifteen hundred mines, a large pro position of which are producing have been staked. The fields have been covered by companies that hold most of the big producing claims and are pushing their development. A year ago the Yukon Gold company was the only large organization engaged in quartz mining and exploration at Mayo but since then two well known American companies have obtained control of many claims which large crews are not developing.
 The most notable strike on Keno Hill was the finding of the lode on the west end, or McQueston slope. The finding of this rich mine was acci- dental as in the case of a great many mineral discoveries. A blackboard carrying two men skidded down a slippery embankment and turned up a piece of float which told the story The ore assays from 200 to 500 ounces to the ton.
