 Probably none of Connecticut's shore resorts are patronfzed with the high class of swimmers and divers who are to be found at Bridgeport's amusement park. The diving tower. the surf fish and canoes and many other forms of water sports attract to this spot.
 Tomorrow will bring thousands when children's day again is celebrated by free transportation on the Strat- ford avenue ferry and specaI reduc- tlons are made to the little ones on many of the amusement devices. On Wednesday night in the great nall there will be exhibition dancing by the Caprarula Sisters, Broaway's leading opponents of the jazz. There also will be held an open contest for the old-fashioned walkers at which cash prizes are offered for the win ming pair. This is real novelty and treat that should not be overlooked.

It is an excellent and stimulating an entertainment in it's way as was the same authors ''Earthbound, the screen sensation of two seasons ago. It is, however. totally different in story and structure from "Earth- bound,'-it is real and not fanciful.
 Goldwyn has given ssThe Dust Flower" a great cast in which Helene Chadwick and James Rennie are fea- tured. MT. Rennie is thie actor who made such a big hit on the speaking stage in Moonlight and Honey- suck1e" and in Spanish Love- and latsr aa,s! married Dorothy Gish. Claude Gii!ingwater, Mona Kingsley. Edward Peil and George Periolat have other important roles. Rowland V. Lee directed the production and an ex- osd1ngly good job he has made of it. The characters and situations are fascinatingly real and consistent The drama is profoundly moving and the love story has that freshness of charm that appeals to every heart.
