Elsie Janis, Youngest Star on the Stage, to Appear in
 The Hoyden.

The sobriquet, the youngest star OH
 the American stage" has been applied indiscriminately the last few years, out
 Elsie Janis has proved her exclusive right to such a distinction. and sne appears to be in fair way to continue
 the right to the title for some years to come. Miss Janis was born in Column
 bus about eighteen years ago, ano' as a mere child, her faculty fon limitations had asserted itself so pronouncedly
 that her mother determined to have
 her adopt a stage career. On Deceh- Der 24, 1898, Elsie made her first ap- pearance on the stage. appearing with James NeilFs stock company at FlKe Opera house. Cincinnati, her first part being in "The Charity Ball" Miss Janis remained with that company two weeks only, playing children's parts. Three years later, upon the advice of the late President Mckinley, whom the family had known socially for several years, she went on the vaudeville stage, billed as Little Elsie, the Pocket Edi- ton of Cissie Loftus." Her limitations of well known players created a posi- tive furore everywhere she appeared. She played in New York theaters for a few weeks but the Gerry society started legal proceedings because of her youth and for several years she appeared ev- anywhere except in New York In the summr of 1904 Miss Janis appeared un- der the management of Milton and Sar- gent Aborn, being started as Elf in "The Belle of New York"

AT POLTS THEATER
Two Features Announced on the Bill for the Week
 to Come.

Manager Poii will offer a two-feat
 ure bill next week at his theater. Ids I Fuller, the sensational dancer, with her fire and electrical effects, and Mo
 Mahon and Chappell with their Pull man Porter Maids will share the top line position.
 1 The mantle of Miss Loie Fuller has 1 fallen upon the shoulders of Miss Ida Fuller, who introduces her new start ling electrical sensation entitled "Lo Sorciere" With the aid of many hued lime and electric lights Miss Fuller transforms gauge veil into a darting lambert flames. As the light plays upon the voluminous veil, the dancer is seen one moment Grigolati- like floating through the air, then be- heath in succession of beauti- full poses, while lightning flashes and clouds whirl by to the accompaniment of thunderous music and the sound of the waiing wind, The last scene is unquestionably the most startling.
 The scene Is cavern. in the back ground of which solitary figure can be discerned Suddenly the stage opens, and by an exceedingly clever device. the result, apparently, of steam and of long strips of muslin, rendered luminous by electric light tongues of flame shoot into the air from the crater of volcano.
 At last her costume becomes ignited and she sinks to the ground while the stage which was volleying hot sparks a moment before. Is slowly darkened. It would be difficult to imagine a more vivid or beautiful effect or one better calculated to prove to what an extraordinary pitch of perfection real ism on the stage is rapidly being brought.
 McMahon and Chappelle with their Pullman Porter Maids" are to share nedullne nnHOTS Wltn lHelr SpeCldl dcl Why Hubby Missed the Train It's a trip to laughterland the introduc- ton of number of song hits, ten sprightly young girls who do black face specially which was originated by Tim McMahon.

De onge Bros. with their novelty act, Hanson and Nelson in "A Little of Everything" will introduce two charming comediennes, Elsa Von Der Voort. the contralto of the H. W. Say age opera forces. and the electrograph with "Mother-in-Law' at the White City" and The Legless Runner" will complete the bill.
