VAUDEVILLE.

It Is peculiar mental phenomenon that many players who have all the other requisites for success as inter- preters of pure comedy should be lack. ing in the most important of qualities In an actor or actress, the instinctive or cultivated faculty of repression While this criticism is germane to the cases of performers in general it is especially applicable to those who make reputation and livelihood by ticklilg the humorous senses in oth. CTS. The temptation to rough house. a good thing so as to create uproarious effects in the audience. is so strong in comedy that unless the player be ell. dowed with great intelligence as well as good taste it almost invariably proves too much to be overcome. IL is safe to say that out of all those who claim to be refined laugh makers there is not half dozen who could take the delicious comedies of MOiiere and make anything of them but horse play farces. When an artist is seen however. who can bring out the fun ill situation without the aid of slap stick theater-goers are quick to appre. ciate the chance to watch and enjoy the result. Miss Violet Black, who with her company is leading the bill at the Jacques this week with the dainty commedietta. "A West Point Regulation" is just such an actress Her playing is never slow or draggy the touches are quick and sure. tne enunciation of the clever lines of the little play is made in such way tha, the veriest clod can see the humor of them. and when everything else is said tie lasting impression left on those who laugh at the situations is the con. sciousness of having seen a gentlewo. man act as one really does and not the pretentious posing of a counterfeit The comedietta is a delightful one. the performance of it excellent beyond criticism.

POLLS . .ss:
THE TWO SISTERS

Here is the way the dramatic critic
 of the Minneapolis Journal treated a recent production of "The Two Sis- ters," which comes to Polls Saturday , afternoon and evening: There is a
 pretty, unpretentious flower that blos-
 soms every spring along our country
 roads. The fields in summer are full
 of these sweet, natural things. They cast their perfume on the breeze
 scenting the air with fragrance and make the landscape beautiful. They have neither the brilliancy nor the Geauty of those rare exotics, carefully treasured in the conservatory, but to the common man who passes that way are dearer than all others because they are the natural flowers of his native land. He never counts the flowers petals, he never analyses, compares nor criticizes it's beauty, he simply breathes its fragrance, passes on and
 loves 1t. Did anyone who listened last 1 night to the sweet pathetic story of The Two Sisters at the Grand stop to
 question 1t? Did anyone even attempt
 to count its faults or stop to ask ones ! self if it was common and convention i al! If anyone did he found it full of 1 faults and flaws. The majority of the I audience, at least, were content to
 listen with delight to the pretty, nat ural story that it told and liked it more for this than any other reason, be-
 cause it has its roots in the life and
 hearts of the American people. The
 story was common, common as sin.
 common as life itself. It was treated | in unique, perhaps. but still conyen. tional manner. It was melodramatic.
 and with the spasms and convulsions l cut out. It was full of incident, ram bling. lacking in dramatic strength, but
 1t was American. It was American | just as The Old Homestead Is, be-
 cause it is full of pictures of American life and tuned to American sympa-
 thies. To many people who saw the
 play last night it seemed more deserv-
 ing of success than The Old Home
 stead The characters, from Hiram | Pepper of Montana. hearty, healthy
 and big-hearted Samaritan, to that ex-
 ample of fearless independence, But
 tons. the bell boy, are all star spangled. l There is the inevitable New England
 Yankee, q French Canadian, an Irish
 servant girl, a German policeman and Ia colOred musician. They are all Americans and all types. It would
 take too much space to mete out to
 each member of the company the
 praise that he deserves. Every charac-
 ter was interpreted with appreciation ! and cleverness." Prices are 25, B and
 90 cents; matinee 15 and 25 cents.

 "But I didn't start to tell you how much they loved each other, but how they disliked the United States. Neither of them could tolerate this country at all, and they gave everything at the capitol the joyous ha-ha from the min- ute they set foot in it.

 Finally, I got them around to the pic- ture of the battle of Lake Erie, over on the senate side. .......
 "'What frightful daub!' they ex- claimed together. What is 1t supposed to represent, gee-ide?' ...
 Well, say, this made me too hot to handle.
 That said l, is considered an ad. mirable work of art. It is also regarded as an accurate representation of the bat tie of Lake Erie. That battle, as you will of course recall, took place getween the American and British fleets during the war Of 1872 between Great Britain and the United States. And if any fleet on salt or fresh water was ever ker-soaked, smothered, jolted, hammered, torn in two, ripped up the back, hamstrung, keel-hauled, butchered to make Roman holiday, and knocked into eighteen hun- dred and twelve different kinds of junk and kindling wood, it was the lime- juicer British fleet on that occasion, when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry put it on and all over them!'
