POli Review

All those who are yearning for mirth, pleasure and enjoyment should attend PO2is during the next two nights for there is entertainment or the best sort to be found there. The neadliner. Mabel Ford's review, is a wonderful act from start to finish, with excellent dancing and beautiful music accompanying. The dancing by Miss Ford is unuaual, from classic, colonial, Spanish to the latest jazz, ard her act is one worth seeing. Eis- pecially noted in the orchestra with her is the mandolin artist who plays the piano and mandolin at the same time. '
 Howard and Ross, banjo artists, present stunt rarely equalled in the trick musical line. With the excep- tion of a little to much .'1odse" from the lady, tine act is greet. Their echoes from grand opera, however well presented and cleverly done, IS a treat and deserves the full round of applause from a pleased patronage.
 Baggert and Shelton, jugglers, do some clever tricks with Indian clubs and trick hats. They work fast ana present so many novel features with this act that everybody is really tickled to death with them. Shaw and Lee are the funniest nut come dians we have had in Bridgeport in many a moon, former burlesque com edians, they have an offering that IS well worth the price of admission, corsid dering the laughs they bring out

 t'The UnconQuered Woman" is one of the Northwest pictures that have so great an appeal nowadays, with scenes laid in the frozen arctic regions and New York. The only thing about it that might be critisfzed unfavor- ably is the absolute lack of humor and at times it is a depressing pie ture It is, however, a good one alto gether and no one need be afraid they will not enjoy a good show by seeing it. It is far better than many of those put out to the public today and highly advertised. The Pathe Weekly, comedy; and Kineto travel pictures from Rio De Janiero are fine additions to a, great show.

 son to Promote Self Government
 In India.
 Boston, March 4-Mahatma Gand- his arrest and imprisonment will mark the end of the passing chapter and the beginning of a new one in the political situation in India. Along with Mahatma, Gandhi, the "non-vio- fence" phase of the national move ment will be kept behind the iron bars in Indian politics.
 Mahatma Gandhi is the only re strafnine influence in the Indian movement known as the nOn-cO-Oper Gandhis personality and sincere be- lief in the efficacy of non-violence that kept the Indian national move ment nOn-v3o1ent. But with the ab- sence of his influence in the delib- erations of the congress organization. the violent party, the left wingers will have an easy sway.
 But it will take some time for this organizations At the first meeting of the all-India congress committee which was held just after Mahatma GandhiS arrest, the non-violent pro- gram was again ratified after a bit ter fight which lasted for eight hours. This victory was by a bare majority, and this victory is the natural result of the leaders of the movement. more of a mark of respect to their arrested chief than an expression of their opinion.
 At the next meeting of congress committee which will be held within a month, the violent party will have absolute sway, and from that time on will begin active warfare in In dia. This active warfare will be more or less along the lines of guer- rilla warfare, and mass battle will be avoided by the India people as much as possible Mahatma Gandhfs arrest has not been followed by spontaneous out breaks throughout India as was eX- pected. This is not a weakness of the movement but is a significant ex- pression of the strength of the organ ization and of the wonderful disci- pline which we are witnessing in this movement. The violent party does exist but is deliberately abstaining from violence and cooperating with the non-vio1ent party, though they could have started the violent pro gram any time they wished to.
 The passive action of the violent party is due to the fact that they are anxious to maintain the solid front in the fight. Their premature outbreak may split the national move ment.

A BOUT two years ago. during the
coal shortage and the general
squabble over coal. the bureau of
mines had a brilliant idea. People
generally seemed to think that coal
was just shoveled out of the mine
into coal cars that brought it to the
factory and home. They had no con-
ception of the many hands through
which it passed and the lives of those
engaged in making it available for
fuel and power. The federal bureau
decided to picture the story OF coal.
The National Coal Association put up
$4,000 to have these pictures taken,
under the direction Of the bureau Of
mines, and now thirty-five sets of the
pictures have gone all over the world.
Similarly, the story of petroleum
was told in motion pictures. The
Sinclair Company backed the bureau
Of mines to the extent Of $4,000. and
now fifty sets are being shown every
where, last week in China and Japan.

DIR. Leopold has called upon a num-
ber of big film companies to puts in
bids for taking the pictures Of the
hundreds of American industries that
are eager to send a real picture OF
themselves. indorsed by Uncle Sam,
to the peoples Of the world.
In every state and community
throughout the United States the
manufacturers and business men are
being advised Of their opportunity.
For example. Paul F. Freeman, di-
rector Of the Chicago ONCE of the
Department of Commerce, has sent
out a circular letter to several thou
sand manufacturers and invited many
of them to a conference with t,r.
Leopold.
. How the manufacturers are taking
to this new opportunity for extensive
advertising that makes a direct ap-
peal to the eyes OF large groups of
prospective buyers is voiced by sew
eral. as illustrations: -.
"1 do not know of a better plan to
promote American trade" said N. F.
Hill, foreign manager OF 4 knitting
company. "In 1916 / made a $4,000
mile trip Of nine months, in which
the greater part Of my selling sue
cess was due to a complete line OF
photographs l carried. showing every
step in our manufacture, from the
gathering of the cotton by the farm
ers in Arkansas to pasting the labels
on the boxes in Chicago. Moving pic
lures would be thousand times
better"
"On one trip sold $4,000, 900 worth
Of road-making machinery just by

manufacturer.

All of these industrial advertising
pictures are taken under the personal
direction of DIR. Leopold before they
are allowed to go out. and they are
vised by five experts in the bureau
of mines. When they are distributed
throughout the world, without further

to participate in this tremendous

The manufacturer pays about 81

usually takes between 1000 ard 5000
feet.
The United States government un-
dertakes to distribute these indus
trial films without further cost to tho
American manufacturer or industry,
guaranteed by the United Stltcs gov-
ernment and supported by the per-
sonality and prestige of this govern
ment's agents throughout the world.
And there is no doubt about the
eagerness OF the world afar to see
these films. The story OF coal has
been shown in three months to 10000
people. Mining films have been shown
to large gatherings in South America.
Mexico and India. Australia and New
Zealand have applied for sets OF the
new industrial films. A leader from
Russia was in conference with DIR.
Leopold. and said something like this:
my people cannot read or write. but
they can see. We want to show them
your great industries, how your ps O.
pie increase the yield of the soil by
education and science, how you null
tiply the value of your raw materials
by manufacture, how your people on
the farms and in the mines and IN
the factories live and work happily,
how they prosper. 1t will make busi-
ness for you, it will make friends be-
tween our peoples. it will give in-
spiration and example to my people
to see how your great nation treats
its people"
Aside from the great volume Of
trade that these films are expected
to incite. it is figured by the govern
ment agencies directing this new
drive that they will be highly edu-
cative, giving the world a new in
sight into American institutions. They
will show how shoes and stockings
