Berlin, Conn.-Jnmes Durkee had a

He left the machine running, and

It was super.struggle, but Durkee

the machine. He wore an overcoat,

Palace Review


 Swashbucklings romance of the old school, with pienty of sword play, thrills and regal com plications, held 9 Palace audience spellbound last night when "The Prisoner of Zenda'' was shown op the screen. Of course Anthony Hopes story was made into 3, play long ago-and what a bully play it was! But the stage has limi- tattons unknown to the moving pie lures and in this instance the picture has gone the. play several better ia the way of thrills. Splendid ballr oon and coronation scenes. which it was impossible to show in the play, are ton an assortment of medevial castles, drawbridges and castle meats, and a hand-pieked assortment of some of the most villianous and roTs- tering blades that ever cavorted in front of a moving picture camera. All the feminine visitors to the Palace will feel sorry for the poor Princess Flayia, who gives her heart to the man who was king for a day and then could not marry him.
 Special features on the program are Paul Oscard, originator of dances, and Martha Mason in modern dances; Katherine Galloway, a soprano soloist direct from the St. Louis Municipal Grand Opera company, and Arthur Geidy, formerly first horn Of the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra, in strumental so1oist. There are also, of course. the usual comedy, news and travel pictures in addition.

TOURISTS LAVISH COLD
 ON LONDON
Experts Estimate Toll This Year Will Reach Half Billion Dollars.
By DAVID M. CHURCH, International News Service Staff

London, Oct. 2-England is engag- ed 1n the pleasant pastime of count Ing American money that will never get back to America.
 Ihe tourist season IS over, and 1t is estimated by some experts that there IS close to a half billion dollars of American money left in England as the weary tourists trek their home ward way
 The past season has been one of the best in the history of England despite the fact that there have ueen constant cries of indignation because the Americans were spending most of their time in France and Germany, and despite protests that the tourists Of this season were not "spenders."
 5000 Tourists.
 It is impossible to accurately judge the number of American tourists who have visited England this Summer, but one authority estimates that be- tween May and the end of September there were at least 5000 American tourists in London every day This number has fuctuated, and the eSti- mate is a most conservative one. It is estimated tat these tourists spent for hotel and living accomm odations not less than a pound each, or prac- tically $5 a day. Tis, too, is a most conservative etsimate, for while there were many tourists who secured lodgings for less than s2 night, there were many more who took the most expensive hosteries in London in fact, there are several of the larger establishments that have been practically. kept in business by their rich American clientele.
 Besides the money spent for actual living expenses, there has been a great deal more spent in purchases from the English stores and shops. Scarcely an American came over here who did not return home with fairly sizab1e English wardrobe. and was heavily laden with gifts of all sorts.
 The theatres and other places of amusement have garnered great deal more American gold.
 The taxi-cab drivers have waxed fat upon American fares and even latter upon American tips.
 Servants Time Now.
 Servants of all classes can now at- ford to spend the Winter on the R1- viera, living on their tips from tour tsts. One famous character. Fleet Street Charley" who opens tax1-cab doors for tourist visitors to the fa- nous Cheshire Cheese" is reported to have made close to $2o day in American tips 'tF'Ieet Street Char ley denies this. but his earnings nave been huge.
 The steamship companies have de rived at least 80 per cent. or tnele all classes, from the wealthy who paid as high as $7,0OO for single pass age to the more conservative traVel- CTS who came over third class and
 All of this money will remain in Great Britain It should help to swell the coffers of the income tax man and probably America VII get her war debt, but whatever America gets back will be taken back by Eng land next Summer. just as soon as the sucker season. opens agaln.
 Now has come the Winter of dis content. for those who live on tips in London. The American has gone.

MODERN FARMING
 METHODS TRIPLE
 ARMENIA'S CROPS

AIexandropol, Armenia, Oct. D. Twenty-two American tractors, lm- norted bv the Near East Relief Com mission, have p1oughed 2,0e0 acres and produced 20 bushels of barley per acre, against ten bushels per acre the result of native methods which called for 500 men and 1,50O oxen on the same job.
 Professor Harti1l. of the New York Institute of Agriculture, directed this experiment in order to prove to the Armenian agriculturists the advan- tage of American farm machinery. Professor Hartin estimates that the cereal production of Armenia can be increased 800 per cent. by the use of modern methods.

CONFEDERATE VETERAN ROLL

Washington, Oct. 2-Only 75,O66 Confed crate veterans out of the more than a million who fought for the South during the Civil War, are now living, according to statistics compiled by Colonel Francis M. Burrows, of the staff of General Julian $. Carr. commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans.
 Of this number, 65,7O7 are drawing pensions, 1859 are in soldiers home and 7,50O are unknown. The StatiS- tics show that 57,9S7 widows of Con federate soldiers are receiving pen sions and 667 negro veterans are in homes.

In The Theatres
POLES PALACE.

Probably no play that has reached the people of America in years has had the success that "The Prisoner Of zenda' attained. Based upon the picturization as shown in New York City and now being shown at the Po1i Palace theatre in Bridgeport, has ap- pea1ed to the masses.
 The opening performance at the Poli Palace last night brought thou sands and the same horde of people went away satisfied. They had seen aH the thrills of the picture, and all the thrills that the book had given them.
 They had seen it portrayed in a manner that defies competition. Rex Ingraham had outdone himself, even though he has had previous mammoth successes at his feet.
 Alice Terry, Robert Edeson, Stuart Holmes, Ramon Navarro and Bar oarra La Marr are names to conJure the theatre-going public. They and others of equal note were seen upon the screen. The locations taken m the mountains of Europe were superb and the photography, much of whicM has been colored IS the most beauti- ful.
 Today the Polls Palace theatre an- nounces, in addition~-to the super feature photoplay, such Broadway stars as Paul Oscard, originator of all the pallets and modern dance num- bers recently presented at the Rialto, Rivoly and Criterion theatres, New York City, who will be assisted by Miss Martha Mason i'll beautifus dance modern presentation on the PoH Palace program. MT. Oscard will appear in person.
 Also on the program, in person, will be Miss Katherine Galloway. so- prano prima donna of the St. Louis Municipal Grand Opera company. With the Poli Palace orcnesrra under the direction of Warde Johnston probably no such assemblage of talent has been presented with a feature picture since the Poli Palace opened It's doors to Fairfield county audi ences.

PARK

The announcement that Louis MaLn will again make an appearance in Bridgeport at the Park theatre for three days starting tonight in a. new comedy which has been received with much enthusiasm.
 The new production in which MT. Mann will be starred is a comedy in three acts and three scenes written by Charlton Andrews based on the Hungarian of Gabor Andor The play was especially written for Mr. MaEn and from the opinions of those who have seen this piece in rehearsal and on its first presentation at White Plains, it gives this great artist an ex- ceHent opportunity to show his TO- markable versatility.
 Shubert Vaudeville.
 'The Spice of Idfe.'' significantly termed a vaudeville F'ollies with variety of stars" comes to the Park theatre the last three days of this week with a Saturday matinee.
 If the quality of The Spice of Life" can be estimated by the names of the personalities who perform in it then the unit shows that are to follow it, will have their work cut out to equal it's general excellence.
