Cupolas.
From the Providence Tribune.

From the Providence Tribune.
According to publication devoted TO
architecture, cupolas that were once SO
common are gradually disappearing: they
are rarely seen on modern dwellings,
1t is true, of course. that the cupola
was once more in evidence than it is to-
day. but ii may be doubted if it was
ever so common as to be commonplace.
In most communities it was regarded as
sign of wealth, and that is what it was:
that was the only purpose it served In
summer it was the hottest place in the
house or anywhere else and in winter il
was so cold as TO he uninhabitable Ac-
cordingly, nobody who was in his right
mind frequented the cupOla and it STOOD
up above the roof proclaiming that the
man who built the house could afford to
put money into good for-nothing cupola
Plain people who were compelled to econ
omize never went in for cupolas and never
envied those who had them, which is
about all that can be said for them; they
made nobody disconnected with his lot
y majority of the possessions OF the
rich are regarded desirable by almost
everybody but cupolas have never been
counted among them.

goers of perhaps every other large city
in the country.
The story of the play is unusually at
tractive. With it's novelty 1T combines
cleanliness and WholesOmeness. Polly
its central figure. is a young equestrienne
who is injured by fall from her horse
while the show Is in a small middle west
ern town. 1t is out of the question for
her to accompany the circus to the next
stop. and she is left at the parsonage, OPP
poslte the circus lot, in the household of
young minister, to recover.
Polly has known no other life than that
of the sawdust ring, and some time
elapses before she can familiarize herself
with the Staid existence of such COM
munity as is now her home. BY the time
she succeeds in doing this the sound of
the young minister's voice has become the
most prominent feature OF her hopes for
the future. He. in turn, has found the
fascination of the unlearned, but intelli-
gent and pure-hearted sprite from the
canvas-topped community almost irresist-
ible.
The opposition Of his parishioners dis
plays itself in a finally successful at
tempt to drive the girl from her haven.
Learning that the circus is in a neighbor-
ing township. she fees the parsonage, and
returns to the show to take her regular
place on the program.
The minister awaits her return for a
month, and then, realizing that the happi-
ness Of both is at stake, goes to reclaim
her. He takes her from the ring in the
very midst of the performance. The cur
tain falls upon the pair standing upon the
deserted circus lot, watching the twin
king lights Of the big animal wagons as
they disappear in the distance.
The role of Polly is declared to be
about as exactly fitted to the tempera-
ment and talents of Edith Taliaferro as
one could be. Her performance of 1t Is
said to be charming. The personnel of
fhe SI1nnortinR cast is an anDareQt aSSur-
ance Of a. finished and artistic portrayal
of the other characters.
The scenic production is remarkable
even for one of such admittedly unusual
skill in such matters as Frederic Thomp-
son. The third act setting, where an
actual sawdust ring performance, with all
it's incidents and accessories. Is shown, is
especially notable.
