Jacques
THE BELLE OF RICHMOND" I"

The reason why "The Belle of Richmond" which the Poli players are presenting at the Jacques this week, has such an interest for the theatergoing public is the fact that it is altogether simple and unaffecte | and devoid of the theatricalism with which the latter day dramatic offer ing reeks. The company Is giving ? splendidly balanced performance free from the erudeness that Is bound to appear in stock productions where the actors play one drama twice q day and rehearse another all morn ing. The stage crew sees to 1t that there are, no disagreeable waits be- tween the acts and the unavoidable changes of scene are filled in by Jere Sanford's illustrated songs and en- tertaining moving pictures. With the combination of a pretty play, a ca pable presentation, a smooth and speedy performance. it is not strange that the attendance is record break ing at Poli's. Popular prices prevail.

But, of course, all this wisdom was
wasted pom the anarchist. He con-
tinued to make rabid speeches when
ever opportunity offered. and Police
man Flynn continued to puzzle his
head as to the best method Of proce-
dure In the matter.

mented one day, that so nanny diff

BILE"
At last, however, the policeman out
lined a plan of campaign. He decided
that a lettering anarchist was a men
ace, while an anarchist on the move
was harmless. " I is only where they
shtop hat they ma-ake throuble," he
said. while they re movin' they
ha-ave no chanst.' 1t was after he had
been obliged to order his particular an
archist to move on" three times in
one evening that this great idea came
to him. He took the man by the arm
and walked him along.

bitterly.
"Niver," answered Policeman Flynn.
"Iu not do we that honor. I've
thried livery wa-ay to give We a bit iv

Then he winked at his brother on

CHAPTEit X.

THE PATRICIANS ENTERTAIN.
To reward the enduring who read
politely through the garish revel Of
the preceding chapter, covers for IA
are nov laid with correct and tasteful
quietness at the sophisticated board of
that fine old New York family, the
Milbreys. Shaded candles leave all but
the glowing table in a gloom discreetly
pleasant. One need not look so high
as the old-fashioned succeed ceiling.
The family portraits tone agreeably
into the half-light of the walls; the
huge old-fashioned walnut sideboard,
soberly ornate with its mirrors, its
white marble top and its w~ood-carved
fruit, towers majestically aloft in
proud scorn of the frivolous Chippen-
dale fad.
Jarvis, the accomplished and incom-
parable butler, would be subdued and
scholarly looking but for the fragrant
scandal Of his port-wine nose. He
gives finishing little illips to the white
chrysanthemups massed in the centra
epergne on the long silver plateau
and bestows a last cautious survey
upon the cut-glass and silver radiatinf
over the dull white damask. Finding
the table and its appointments fault
less, he ssure himself once NOR
that the sherry will come on IRE
proachably at a temperature of 60 de
grees; that the Burgundy will not fal
below 65 o mount above 20; for Jar
Wis wots of a palate SO acutely sensi
tive that 1t never fails to record {
variation of so much as one degree
from the approved standard Of tenn
perature.
