'"The Show Girl' has undoubtedly caught the attention of the public in a marked manner, for the business of anything which MT. Sperry has ever experienced. The many musical num- bers rendered during the performance have already become familiar on the streets, for they are being whistled and hummed quite as much as were the songs heard last season in ''The Girl from Stratford."

THE THEATRES
POLI'S

Throngs of patrons are visiting Polls this week to witness probably the best all-around vaudeville show presented in this city during the year. Incidentally the patrons will bid fare we'll to the vaudeville season at Polls the theatre being turned over to sum mer stock commencing with next Mon day. The headline attraction is one of Pat Rooney's successes, entitled, 'tHotel L.aughrand" a combination of irresistible comedy, pretty girls, bril- liant staging and costumdng and cos tuning and whirlwind dancing. AL though recognizable as a distinctive Rooney act, 'Laughland" is new and original. The music is being whistled and sung all over town.
 A sort of co-headliner is the rnagnifi- cent playlet of the Sierra Nevadas, en- titled Lucky Jim" presented by the Jane Courthope company. For artiS- tic and striking stage settings this sketch easily rivals anything seen here in years. The curtain rises on a set ting representing a. spur of the ia nous Sierra Nevadas, with snow cap ped peaks in the distance and a gold prospector's cabin in a little gulch to one hand. The story has to do with a lost boy who turns up at the cabin during a snow storm, and how the lit tie wayfarer is finally reunited to his The juvenile part is taken by Master Forester, a little lad of eleven but a clever actor.
 Other items of interest this week are: The Watermelon Trust the snap piest colored act in the varieties; Vinie Daley the daintiest dancer, who also sings and makes several rapid cos tune changes; Corcoran 6 Dixon a burnt cork team lately with Lew Dockstader and his minstrels: James F. Mcdonald the varsatile exponent of refined song and talk stuff; Berenzo & Ladue the comical revolving pole ar lists; and new motion pictures.
 Next Monday afternoon at Polls the famous Mexine Elliott success, Her Own Way will be presented as the opening stock production. Miss Alice Fleming and a talented cast will ap- pear.
