 COMING, POLl'S
 GREAT CAPTURE Johnny Busch, the Boy Won der of the vaudeville Stage,Is Also on the Bill
 for Next Week. Earle Reynolds and Nellie Donegan Will Present the Glove Waltz" Upon Roller Skates-A Bill that Is a Winner.


 been one of the most popular of the season, Manager Poh is to follow it with a show next week that will be still more winning. Carter DeHaven and Flora Parker, who are the big feature of the bill, are one of the best vaudeville captures of the season. They will present the most artistic singing and dancing skit in vaudeville. MT. DeHaven is the only successor to George M. Cohan and he has just closed successful tour in the "Yan- ke Prince
 When the Yankee Doodle comedi- an was taken ill in this city it was Carter DeHaven who proved to be the man of the hour. Within a very few hours he grasped the lines and for the first time in New Haven, n,where he was warmly greeted. Since the Yankee Prince closed Mr.Poi book ed MT. De Haven and Miss Parker at his New Haven house. where the pop ularity of the little comedian was shown by the large attendance of the week.
 Among the numbers which will compete strongly for second honors on the bill is the Busch Trio. compos- ed of Johnny Busch with his Pa and Sister. Johnny is the boy marvel of of the American stage today, and is just turning seven. By second nature he possesses an ability of entertaining audiences with quaint and droll stories that would do credit to the most sea- soned monologuist in the profession. When he appears at the close of his wonderful performance in a Lord Fauntleroy costume all of the fair sex declare he is a "dear" and then he takes the audience by storm by recit- ing You Can't Beat a Yankee"
 As a novelty Earle Reynolds and Nellie Donegan will present all of the dance hits of the season on roller skates. The 'Love Waltz.'' as seen here made a decided impression, but everywhere this pair has gone they have captivated their audiences by performing this celebrated dance up- on rollers.
 For music and fun the bill will present the famous Dixon Brothers the most grotesquely dressed perform CTS invaud eville.
 Ruby Raymond & Go. present a sketch entitled "Street Urchins at the Amateur Contest" The company in- cludes Billie Crackles and Jimmy Gra- ham, two funny boys, who introduce songs, buck, eccentric and acrobatic dancing.
 'Won by Leg is the title of a humorous sketch by Gordon Eldrid & New York theatre. It is refreshingly new in plot. treatment and effect New York critics brand 1t as one of the funniest sketches of the day. A company or four players assist MT. Eldrid in the skit. During the action of the piece MT. Eldrid, to test the affection of the girl to whom he is engaged, pretends he has a. cork leg, and the situations which arise while he is endeavoring to carry out the bluff are ludicrous in the extreme There are two scenes in the play. The first deals with the arrival of the hero at the home of the girl whom he has not seen for many years. The girl also desiring to test the love of her wooer pretends to have been stricken deaf and dumb. MT. E1drid is ably assisted by Irma E1drid, Berna Rein hardt and Marie Del Vecchio.
 Val Trainor and Myrtle Dale. a noy- city comedy sketch team. and the e1ectrograph complete the bill. Train or and Dale have 20 minutes of va r1ety and are clever entertainers.
