There have been several great plays
of war time in the South, but in all
particulars, except charm and interest,
it would seem that Polly Primrose,
which Adelaide Thurston presents Sat-
urday, matinee and night, is different
from the others. There are no uni
forms, no military titles, no battles, no
guns or swords in Polly Primrose" 1t
is a domestic comedy of that trying and
interesting period. Another thing,
which Paul Wilstach, the author, has
done which has distinguished his play,
is to give the Southern side of the
case and the cause. Every character
but two is a Southerner. There has
been no effort at jingoisn, and the
desire has been to be perfectly fair to
both sides whenever there is any sug-
gestion of sides. Polly Primrose" is a
story of old Georgetown, just outside Of
Washington, where sides were not Of
ten taken openly during the war. Seats
on sales Thursday morning. a. m. Matt
nee prices: Orchestra, rs cents; bal
cony. adults, 80 cents: children, rs cents,
admission. Regular prices at night.
