AT The LOCAL THEATERS.
At Polps.

Despite warm weather the attrac-
ton at Polls this week is drawing
good houses,
THE Strange Adventures of Miss
Brown" is the rather appealing title Of
the farce comedy that will engross the
attention of the stock company devo-
tees at Polls next week, when the
Springfield stock company will be at
Polls. While not at all similar, it is
in many respects strongly suggestive
of Charles Aunt"
| Charles G. Carver will make his first
appearance as leading man, replacing
Monroe Salisbury, who Is compelled to
| leave the company very shortly to join
a big road production.
Mr.. Carver will be seen as Captain
CourtenaS, an English military officer,
who is secretly married to a young
lady who is still in boarding school

half the officer DISCUSSES himself in
girls clothing and goes to the board
| ing school presided over by a strict
and elderly maiden named Mis- Rom
Iney, who watches over the girls with
an eagle eye; she is assisted in this
strict supervision by Herr Won Moser
the German music teacher of the
40 10
falls in love with Angela, Captain
Courtenay's secretly welded wife,
Upon his arrival at the school Cap
tain Courtenay succeeds in getting
himself introduced as Miss Brown Of
Portsmouth He is formally presented
to the young ladies In the ACADEMY,
who soon take great fancy to Char
lotte Brown" much to the discom1t-
ure of Angela, who does not at all
relish the sight of her husband being
kissed and caressed so affectionately
by the other girls. On the other hand
Captain Courtenay finds Herr Moser's
attentions to his wife equally perturb-
ing. Many other incidents arise to
still further mix matters and make
lots Of comedy.
Mr., Carver, the new leading man,
can pretty safely claim to be the
youngest leading man In stock as, al
thought barely twenty-four years Of
age he has served four seasons In the
above capacity with various stock
companies. He is possessed, it is said,
of a handsome face and manly bear
ling. With the Moore stock company,
where he filled long engagement be-
lfore coming to New Haven, report
saws that he was a decided matinee
Idol" His appearance with the Poll
lplayers will be naturally watched with
Interest. Joseph Graybill, another re-
Icent addition to the company will be
Iseen as the German music professor.
Mr.. Graybll was chosen especially for
this part because he has spent much of
Ibis time abroad and possesses a de-
Ilightful Teutonic dialect Miss Stock
lwell, Mr.. Kirke and Mis- Varney all
have excellent opportunities in the
looming production.
