Any number on the list is wcrthy of being billed as a headliner hut on ac- count of the novelty of their turn the members of the Obarsteirer troupe of Tyrolean warblers have been giv- en first place. Public approximation has justified the choice and the yOdlers are making a bigger hit at every perform ance. The Millman Trio of high wire walkers offers another number that speaks for itself. There is not an act of it's kind that can compare with it and although the entire apparatus used in the work has been twice de stroyed by fire this season. the catas- trophes have not hindered the march to success. Howard and Mont. Harp CT. Desmond and Bailey. Hewart and Desmond. Gregory and Ward. and Barry and Johnson are excellent sup port for the headliner and each and all of them has made a pronounced im- pression this week.

POLES
AT THE OLD CROSS ROADS.

The title of "At the Old Cross Roads" which is being played at Polls this afternoon must not be confOund- ed with the rural drama, for the scenes and incidents are laid around the es- tates of several wealthy plantation owners of Natchez, Miss. Again, it has not used the we'll worn theme of the late war with our southern neigh b0rs. but instead tells an intensely in- teresting story of possible happening and is happily interwoven with several pretty love scenes and incidents of a humorous character.
 The company has been most careful ly selected and one of the strongest on tour this season. Prominent in the cast are James NJ. Brophy. William Brummell, Philip Conner, Harry l.. Dunkinson, Maurice Hedges, J. Frank Gibbons. May NaTnery. Annie Nor time, Louise Valentine, Gertrude O'Malley, and Kathryn Shay. Prices are p, 8 and 90 cents for to-night's performance.

ABIGAIL"

ABIGAIL"
 Grace George. in her latest produc- ton. Abigail" presented by her hus- band. William A. Brady. was at Polls last evening. and gave very fair pro- duction. The play itself is not an elaborate one. but is beautifully staged with every appurtenance necessary. Every act was a picture and the one which particularly appealed to the au- dience was the setting of the artists studio in act third. Miss George has net surrounded herself with n very apt company. In fact. one or two of the cast could easily he replaced and with much improvement. Miss George herself pleased immensely and her ability and naive conception of her character called for the warmest kind of approval from those present. One other part which stood out strongly in the presentation was that of Sylvia McCann. tine artist. as portrayed ny Miss Louise Glesser. Others who helped to make the play pleasing were Mary Stuart as Theodora Robbins. Annie Wood as Mrs Mirabel. Conway Tearle as John Kent and Walter F. Dyett as Duke of Gladsbrook.

 Here's your money-in good new bills, too," was the greeting. as . plump little matron waved the exhausted Peterby into her most comfortable chair You look the way my husband does after he's been collecting-he's a real estate man, you remember. I sup pose you've heard all about the Browns suppers, and the janitor's insolence, and how the Wiggins baby howls from pure i'll humor, and you didn't get your rent from the first floor north, did you? How did know? Why, the mother there has been boosting that she'll be collecting, instead of paying. rent in this building before long. How? Why, you poor, unsophisticated bachelor! Haven't you had that dimpled doll baby of a daughter literally hurled at your head Isn't your tender heart wrung with her helplessness-all the business to look after, in addition to having an invalid mother on her pretty, weak hands? So young and lovely, too! You don't mean to say that you haven't suspected? We'll, you're warned now. Good morning!'

She permit ted him to touch of her tiny white hand, which huttered adorably in his clasp, all the while she was explaining in pretty confusion that "dear mamma" was shut in a darkened room with one of her worst headaches and could not possibly be disturbed to sign check.

THE SIGN OF THE CROSS


 Probably few people know that Will son Barrett's sublime religious drama "The Sign of the Cross which will be presented at Polls tomorrow evening, owes its origin to q chance acquaint- ance and conversation between the famous actor and author. Wilson Bar ret and that brilliant orator and noted atheist Colonel Robert Ingersoll. It seems strange that the most violent agnOstic of the past century should have indirectly influenced Mir Barrett to write play teaching the power and beauty of the Christian faith, yet such was the case. It was during his tour in 1894 that Mir Barrett was spending Easter in St Louis. Col Ingersoll was in the same city to lecture on Sunday night. The actor and orator met dur ing the day having been introduced by a mutual friend. They were soon hold ing animated discussion on the sub ject of religion. Col Ingersoll made a great deal of money by expressing his views against religion in his famous lectures. Mir Barrett possessed most staunch and stable views in favor of
  quently and most. forcibly made on both sides but of course neither was able to convince the other. If any thing ColCnel Ingersoll came out of tile discussion a more bigoted atheist than before while Mir Barrett's faith in the Divine power was far from being weakened by his brief association with Colonel IngersOll.
 That night Mir Barrett entertained q party of friends at supper and at the table with extraordinary enthusiasm propounded to his guest his new idea of religious play born of his argu- ments with the celebrated agnostic.
 "l will write a play that will appeal to all sorts and conditions of men-and women too" said the actor. ''One that will draw Christians and Pagans alike very much like Col IngersOl's lee lures do. He attracts crowds to the theater to hear him condemn and ridi- cule the Christian faith. l will draw the same people to see a drama thlt will set forth the beauty and power of that faith. I shall take for my theme the history of Rome and the persecu- ton of the early Christians. It is one of the mast dramatic portions of his tory and feel sure the play will be a success Prices are 9, 8, 50, a and $1.0O.

Manager Bothner has engaged a brilliant company of players who will introduce refined specialties and render a score of the latest popular songs and ballads.
