MANY POLO GAMES
BOOKED THIS WEEK

To-nights game Of polo at Eleventh
Street Rink will be particularly interest
ing, as the Mohswks and Lenox have
fought close battles in every game they
have played this season and this is the
first game between these teams for several
weeks. The management of the rink will
endeavor to cater to the desire Of the
holiday spirit that seems to want polo at
both sessions on Christmas on next sat-
urday night the B. and o. team will stop
off at Wilmington on its return from
Atlantic City, where it will play the fast
team there Christmas afternoon and
night. The local team has not been select
ed to play the b. and o. but it is likely
to be the Lenox as b. and o. has not yet
met this team this season. Tuesday night
OF this week is women's free night at the
rink.

THE MILL1oNAIRE TRAMP.

The Millionaire Tramp was greeted
last night with a large audience and
throughout the rendition Of one Of
the cleverest plot we have seen WOW
en- together for some time, gave the
closest attention to every part. Duke
Wolfe as the Millionaire Tramp play
ed his part to perfection and in the
character was the ideal His efforts
were appreciated by the heartiest
applause on the part Of the audience.
Wherever the Tramp" appears he
will merit the encomiums Of the
public. @ t &
DR. John Staley presented by Lo-
renzo Mozsar was one Of the strong
est characters we have seen define
ated for years. To take the part Of
the mad man and do il we'll is no
mean part for the best actors before
the public. But there was nothing
TO criticise in the tragic performance
Of DR.. John Staleyi iaa3iit8
The drama was characterized by
splendid female characters. Gertrude
Steel was petite, interesting and in
the last act was as sweet and coy as
the most charming maiden Of the
lovers dream ~
There were no overdrawn charac-
terization Of parts, and Of the at
fractions of the play was the fact
that each part represented quite truly
a character from life.
One Of the star performers and
one that brought the house to re.
peated encores was Mr. J. c. Wright, |
well known III this city and in the
Northwest. As a delineator Of negro
character he is not excelled in the
profession and as a dancer he is
simply swell. The real stuff. This
was evinced by the calls and recalls
he received. l.3s
