passion: and keen interest, has been
presented on the stage than Edwin
Milton Royle's newest effort, THE
Squaw Man." which will be given

~ say that one has seen real play.
Briefly, the plot deals with the adj
ventures of young English army of
flcer who for Il sentimental reason,
saddles himself with crime commit
ted by his cousin, and makes his way
to Wyoming, where he takes III cat
tie ranching. There, in gratitude for
saving his life, he marries the daugf-
ter of an Indian chief, and at once
finds himself occupying the cellar In
the western social scale, for he has
become squaw man. The play is
superhly mounted and excellently
cast. Prices, matinee. 25c to 81:
evening, 25c to $15O. Seats now on

POLLS
HENRY MILLER.

THE Great Divide" the remark
ably successful play In which Henry
Miller will appear at Polls this even
Ing, was inspired by the glory of n
summer In the mountains Of southern
Arizona In which the second act OF
tie drama Is represented as taking
place. William Vaughn Moody, the
author, worn out by the arduous work
In the chair of English literature In the
university Of Chicago, sought rest
and recuperation in mining camp
high up In the CordilIeras, southern
spur OF the Rockies-the continental
divide--one June about five years
ago. Under the influence of the ma
Jestic crags, abysmal canyons and
magnificent distances which sur
rounded him, and with the simple
story of this mans redemption us his
basic idea, the poets Imagination
conceived and elaborated the outline
OF the drama which has been called
the long awaited great American
play. Mr. Moody selected Il New
England woman for his western man.
III her was the tradition and formal
Ism OF ages. In him was the wild
freedom of the new west. They were
strangely thrown together. The
Puritan maid was practically carried
off by the son Of the hills, as the Sa-
bine women We're by the Romans of
Old. The play shows the conflict of
these indomitable wills which could
be broken only by the awakening on
both sides of genuine and abiding
love. This theme is treated with
breadth and sweep which clearly
shows the influence Of the locality
where 1t was born. Prices, SOC TO

"GOING SOME.'

"Going Some" the new farce by
Paul Armstrong and Rex Beach,
which is to be presented at Polls on
Monday evening, deals with life on
western ranch, and the humorous life
Of the COW punchers' existence. The
story tells Of the events leading up
to a foot race, which as been ar
ranged between representatives Of
two rival branding outfits The CEN
trail character Is verdant youth
from an eastern university who rep
resents himself to be champion run
her that he may impress a young lady
in whom he has become interested. A
vein of healthy, clean and whole
some humor pervades the entire play,
and marks the speech of the dozen or
more widely contrasting characters.
A company of clever comedians inter-
prets the play. The organization is
headed by George Marion, widely
known as stage manager, who not
only produced the play, but also es-
says one of the principal roles, and
James L. Sullivan, who has just re-
turned from lengthy stay in Lon
don, where he has been for several
years one of the most popular come
dams. Prices 25c to $1.5O. Seat sale
