The city of GAINESVILLE was in the
hands of Boy Scouts for one hour
Monday afternoon, all city officials
giving the reins Of government over
into their hands. The B. S. proved
the fine training they have exper-
fenced and conducted themselves
with credit. There was one "ar-
rest" for clay walking" and the vio-
lator of the traffic laws was hailed
before the b. S. Judge where his
case was duly disposed of. The
health officer issued permits and so
on through the various departments
of city administration. The exper-
iment was fine thing to place the
work of the B. S. before the people,

Lyric Review

Mollie Williams Comedies of 1922 entertained, at the Lyric for two per- formances in royal fashion ushering in Miss Williams 10ti Anniversary Week and the first big party put forth by the Bridgeport post office Welfare Council when over 200 of Uncle Saim's employees and their families had the time of their life. The show gave the hest of satisfac- ton as Miss Williams has surround ed herself with cast of principals who are noted as Broadway's best en- tertainers.
 While Miss Williams won many friends yesterday through her won derfu1 production she deserved it as she has spent an unusually large sum of money when she commis- stoned the firm of Stern, Marks and Raymond to prepare her book, lyrics and music. This firm of composers and auth ors have been making Broad way sit up and take notcie of their stop-the-show type of songs and ma teriaI and right in rhe midst of their stccess Miss Williams stepped in and set them to work on her Comedies of 1922.

BRIDGEPORT HAS
 A UNIQUE WELL

Bridgeport has a we'll which de- flyers water hard enough to break the moral Jaw. The owner of the well asserts that it is sure cure for rheItmatism, and notates fifty cases of the cured. Gottlieb Luippold is soft drink maker. at 23S Pembroke street. He wanted a nice pure water for his drinks. and drilled a well in his yard. When the drill had pene- trated virgin rock for so feet or so, a milky fluid rushed forth, which wasn't so much to tasteful; Q drink of it was almost the same as a visit to Saratoga Springs. Luippold took the water to the Connecticut State Department of Health, which gave him an analysis showing turbidity, a musty odor and a large mineral content" The several kinds of min erals were sorted out and enumerat- ed, and the owner of the well believes that these are the very minerals which the body requires for its health, and that the well will be a blessing to the sick. Luippold offers free drinks of the water to all who apply in reasonable hours.

their appearance due to the funny drop curtain they had which depicted a rural scene Pierce and Ryan in 'D'Yer Want Ter Fight were well received. Aurora's Animals were weM trained and gavee the rare com bination of a dog and Ion perform ing in perfect harmony.
 Rodolph Va1intino needs no intro duction to the people of Bridgeport. but the role he plays in Moran of the Lady Lefty gives us a new viewpoint of the popular star. In this picture having been shanghaied, he becomes the second mate of a ship that has earned a shady reputation
 In this picture we see Rudolph Va 1entino display his physical prowess and become the champion of a sea woman who is Moran of The Lady Letty'' played by Dorothy Dalton. Of course she is protected by her new champion at whom she previously hurled scorn and who being so sepa- rated from her plane of life possibly was taken for a, softly as she called him. That he was very different is very interestingly unfolded in Moran of Lady Letty."

 PRIZE FOR FIRST
 REAL HELIC0PTER

London, March 14.-That the Unit ed States has made suggestions that Great Britain maintain at least one purposes by the British and Ameri- cans jointly was disclosed today by Lloyd George, head of the air branch of the government.
 (Note: It was recently announced in London that Great Britain would sell all her airshipS as the result of the R3S (ZR2) disaster.)
 eve will be the first to oongrat- uIate the United States if the pro posed New York-Chicago air line is put in operation.
 ."The commercial success of air planes increases daily. I believe that one of the greatest developments of the future, so far as the airplane is concerned, lies in the direction of the Helicopter.
 (Note: The Helicopter is an air plane that can rise and descend yer tically.)
 II think that we already have at tairred results in this direction in ex- cossh of the success attained by other countries.
 we have a staff of inventors work ing on this problem continually but we want to enlist the best brains of the etnire world upon it. Hence we are offering a prize of 1000 pounds for che first practical Helicopter. The t1ct that the Helicopter can land yer tically or remain stationary must rev. olutionize all conceptions of flying

POli Review

If the brand of vaudeville given at Polls offering for the first three days is the exponent of what the last of the week will be then Rridgeporters may proclaim the Spring Festival a rare treat. Every one of the seven acts was good to the extent that it would hardly be favorable criti- cism if the praises 3f any particular act were set forth as preferable.
 Those who can appreciate the Eal- let dance were given Pu exceptional offering by Theodore Bekeff and Go. Another dancing act of merit and one that was rather novel was presented by West and Laughlin in their slzit, '%The Lonesome Cafe'' The Three Lees though very able juggIers pos sessed also the knack of keeping the audience in an uproar.

If the public does not respond to "One Glorious Day then it is be- cause there is something wrong with the public. This Is the only possible conclusion after viewing this new Paramount comedy which was shown at the Empire. theatre with great sue cess last evening".

Lila Lee. is Q delightful leading woman. The director, James Cruze. deserves congratulations. He has done won- ders with a fantastic picture, which was written by Walter Woods and A. B. Baringer.
 There is real love interest, a riot of n1irth and enough mystery and weird ness to make it exciting. No one will forget the quaint, and kindly if aggressive. little spirit of Elk. John E'ox, a small boy, in a startling make up, does good work in the role.

RachrnaninOff Here
 Sunday At Polls

Rachmaninoff, the worlds pianist and one of it's greatest living compos- CTS who will be heard at Polls thea tre next Sunday aftern oon, believes that even the first teacher is of ut most importance in the life of the nIusically talented child.
 'The child who gives evidence or promise should be placed at the be- ginning under the very best teacher it is possible to secure" he said in discussing this subject. Do not place even a child of five under an nique is the result of early training and Americans are unsuitable in their demand for perfection.
 Environment has much to do with musical. development but the boy or girl who shows decided talent must have expert training Americans are growing more and more critical of but the result of hard work and long years of unceasing study. I began my training at five years of age. In Russia, the child who shows musical ability starts his training at five and even younger.
 'FMy teacher was a woman. At nine I entered the Conservatory at from the Moscow Conservatory. But I had this advantage-n1y grandfa- ther was a notable pianist my cousin Si1oti was one of Iiszts pupils and is still a. figure in musical life in Russia. My boyhood, therefore. was spent in g. musical atmosphere"
 The Rachmaninoffs belonged to the old aristocratic order in Russia; the grandfather could not play pro- fessionally, but the tradition in mu- sical circles is that he was one of the greatest pianiStS of his age.

To just what feature may be attri- buted the unusual draw at the Plaza Theatre yesterday is only a matter of conjecture. It may have been Richard Barthelmess' great eight act feature picture ''TOPable David'', or it may have been Jack Hunt and his score of Bathing Beauties" and if they are responsible they surely made good, or possibly it may have been Reginald

Parrot Refuses to Act.

GETTING a parrot to act for the
movies is no easy task, especially
IL the green bird happens to have cold
feet. Alfred Green. who is directing
Thomas Meighan in his latest picture.
THE Proxy Daddy" has discovered
this.
The scene was supposed to be
aboard Pullman car. but was made
in the studio. One of the characters
plays saxaphone at night in his
berth and an old lady with a parrot
remarks that the bird is being kept
awake by the noise. Then a close
up is shown of the parrot dancing to
the music. swaying back and forth
and lifting its feet clumsily to the
melody.
They worked hard to get the bird
to dance. 1t was in the morning and
the set was none too warm, despite
the heaters.
Come on. Polly" said Green. "be
nice bird. dance for u.s."
Meantime, Arthur Freed, composer
Of "Hindustan." played Justify on the
piano the most enticing and sinuous
oriental melodies. But the bird re-
fused to dance. Finally, after much
coaxing. the parrot said:
my feet are cold"
A heater was brought closer, and
presently Polly was literally dancing

bookings at that theater, under which
two new photoplay productions will be

Attention is called to the fact that the
plan heretofore, which was abandoned

ment of each picture exhibited. it was
frequently necessary to forgo the exhi-
btion Of certain pictures in which there
was a pronounced public interest.
Beginning this afternoon. however,
the Palace will present two featured
productions every week whereby many
pictures can be shown in a year which
otherwise might never appear on a
