NEW LYRIC. BRIDGEPORT.
BerniEe La Barr. prima donna
with “Step This “‘ay." at the New
Lyric theatre. one of the newest
of Columbia Burlesque offerings. is
an indefatigable reader of the mag-
azine pages of the newspapers. and
gives her reason for this literary
bent. the various valuable hints
which she has been able to make
use of “Recently in one of the
magazine pages. I found two short
cuts to laying my clothing in my
trunk that saved me any amount
of bother and labor at the end of
the week." says Miss La Barr.
"Trunk packing is one of the bugs.-
boos of the theatrical life and of
which we have a continuous round.
Ask the average woman to gather
up her belongings and pack them
away for removal and she will tell
you that it will take three or four
hours to accomplish this. Week in
and week out. we must unpack as
well as pack our things away and
in the shortest possible space of
time. or else crowd aside something
elsethathastobedoneatthelast
minute. so that any short cuts that
we and in this direction are doubly
welcome." Miss La Barr omitted to
say that she has two trunk: to
pack each week. one at the theatre
as well as the one which she uses
at her hotel.

Marriage
Go to your rival for the best ad-
vice on how to win back your wife!
It you can't steal his thunder. ask
him to loan it to you! It is done
in "The Fast Set.” in which Betty
Compson plays the wife. Adolphe
Menjou has the part or the intrigu-
ing "great lover" and Elliott Dex-
ter appears as the husband. 5
The situation is one of the most
unique in motion pictures. and. as
handled by ‘Wllllam de Mills. who
produced the picture. is delightfully
satiric.
“The Fast Set"
Clara Beranger from Frederick
Lonsdale's stage success. “Spring
Cleaning." and presents the brilliant
soA‘ty comedy in all its sparkle.
The husband. as author. prefers
”high brow" company and is hurt
that his wife does not feel flattered
by his attitude that his friends can
elevate her mind. She is bored by
the rilen and women who recite their
own poetry by the hour and seeks
more cheerful company in‘ other
cirlles.
She becomes involved in a "fast
set." A notorious philanderer pays
her marked attention and when her
husband insults her and her friends
by bringing a girl of the streets as
guest at a dinner party. she decides
to leave him. ‘
Then the author goes to it; rival
for help. He is coldly informed that
inasmuch as the husband did not
pay his wife the attentions she de-
served. he. the phllandered. should
be praised for having shown the.
young woman appreciation. In a de-
lulhullx humorous manner the hus-
band and wife are brought togeth-
er again.
In the featured cast with Miss
Compson. MenJOu and Dexter. is Ze~
su Pitts as the human pawn. who
is used by the husband in his daring.
exploit to keep his wife from mak-
ing a fool of herself.
Native movieltes will have an op-
portunity of seeing "The Fast Set"
When it opens next Monday at the.
Palace theatre for a 3 day run.
Lionel Barrymore
Coming Here Soon
Democratic America is more than
happy to pay homage to royalty.
Royalty. however. not in the arts—
tocratic sense. but royalty of the
stage . Such names as Lionel Bar—
rymore. John Barrymore. Ethel Bar-
Maurice Barrymore. John
Drew, and Mrs. John Drew, are the
pride of the American theatre and
the American public. No other
country can boast of such a famous
line of stage folk from one gener-
ation to another.
Lionel Barrymore will be at the'
Palace soon in his latest and best
photoplay. "I Am the Man."
was written by
\
As Seen from Waterbury.
At a legislative meeting in Hart-
ford the other day former Assistant
Attorneyfleneral Thomas J. Spel-
lacy declared that a certain matter
was unconstitutional. Soon after
former Corporation Counsel Robert
P. Butler came into the room and
when testifying before the commit-
tee was asked “that he thought of
the constitutionality of the matter.
He answered: “I will not say wheth-
er it is constitutional or unconstitu-
tional; I would be a jackass if I
did." Now.they are waiting for
Spellacy to call Butler out.
