TN THE THEATRES
POLI'S.

If there are any who wonder why George Ade has won great success as a playwright there is food for thought and convincing evidence near at hand if one witnesses one of his best comed- ies ''The College Widow as given by the Poli Players to capacity audience at every presentation this week at Polls
 It is logical. witha1 it is comedy. it's types are masterful in the drawing the big laughs come in their proper place and the smaller ones where they will not interrupt the action of the play. The comedy takes it's title from a char acter known in every college town. a girl who is essentially a flirt and a trifler with mems affections. Ade has given to his College Widow the task of whining over a promising half back to play for her college when he had been expected to play for the opposing team and finally she finds that in win ming him over she has fallen in love with him.
 By a natural sequence you see the college campus with it's groups of stu dents. you see stately professors. the new student from the back woods the daughter of the landlady of the stu dents boarding house. the ex-prize fighter engaged as trainer and in numerable other types.
 It is a splendid comedy and splendid ly clean perhaps that is why it finds great popularity with the masses
 MT. Ince has the role of Billy Bolt or the famous half back and Miss Stockwell is the Widow. Every other role in the comedy is splendidly hand les and the new members engaged for the production acquit themselves with great credit
 Between the acts Jack Allmann and the Singing Ushers make big hit with illustrated songs especially Mary You're Big Girl Now
 The seat sale for the balance of the week indicates capacity audiences.

BEACH FLIES
 THRICE; THEN
 MACHINE BREAKS

Stanley Y. Beach made three short flights at Lordship Park. yesterday and at the close of his work, with his machine damaged by slight mishap, he announced that he would wait only long enough to get the damage re- paired before taking the machine to the aviation field at Mineola, L. I.
 Beach is satisfied that his gyroscope attachment will add greatly to the stability of flying machines. The ma chine he says is practically Bleriot monoplane, but the gyroscope attach ment is his original idea incorporated into the Bleriot design.
 Thought handicapped by rather heavy wind, Beach made flight first of about 200 feet. Then he covered three times the distance, and he was arising on a third attempt when one of the three wheels upon which the plane is mounted collided with fence post which Beach could not see in the dark

POINTS OF INTEREST.
No Smoke Nuisance.

The fact that soft coal is not used on the steamer Park City is very much. appreciated by the travelling public. Ladies and children who go on the matinee excursions daily can therefore dress in snowy white, with the assurance of a presentable ap- pearance when they return home. There are only two weeks more in which to enjoy these delightful mat inee excursions to Port Jefferson. Steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fairfield avenue at 1:S0, returning leaves Port Jefferson at 4:30.

JACKSON'S

! "Bobbv Burnit." Winchell Smiths s latest comedy which Henry B. Harris will present in this city at. Jackson theatre on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 18th and 2Oth for three performances, ns dramatization of George Kan tdolph Chester's popular novel, The Making of Bobby Burnit."
 The story is a comedy pure ana simple, and is filled with laughs due ito the situations arising from the ef- aforts of young man suddenly plac- led in charge of his fathers enormous estate. without having the advantage of business training. Bobby has been a typical rich mans son, and as such has showed no desire to acquaint him. self with business life or customs, ,preferring to concentrate his efforts lon polo, tennis, motoring and gymna- jsium work. The moment he is given a fling at handling large sum of money he becomes an immediate prey to speculative sharkers and grafters, and what they do with Bobby IS caution. He stands for their game until he is involved almost to the verge of bankruptcy, and his help 1essness arouses spirit of combative- ness that causes him to turn on his ! enemies with the result that he makes good and convinces the trustee of the residue of his estate that he is capable of taking full charge of it. He IS deeEiy III ioVe "ltn youis lady. who. in order to spur him on to success, informs him that she will mot marry until he shows that he can make good. This incentive results in Bobby taking a hitch in his affairs, and when he wins out no one is more pleased with his success than the girl. The play can best be described as one continuous round of laughter, and should be voted the big comedy hit of the season in this city.
 The cast is a notable one, headed by Wallace Eddinger, who plays the title role. and who. it will be remem- bered. scored an enormous success as Howard Jeffries, IT,, in Charles Klein's play, "The Third Degree"

NEW MARKS SET
BY ROAD RACERS
By HARRY WARD.

The automobile racing game during
the year now closing was in a most
satisfactory condition
The contests were wider spread. met
with greater interest and yielded bet
ter results than ever before New rec
Ords for American road racing were
made several times during The year.
while the twenty-four-hour contests at
Brighton Beach resulted in new mileage
marks The dirt track and motordrome
meets in various sections of the coun-
try showed astonishing driving on the
part Of many speed merchants" The
successful season was due IN a large
measure TO the rules under which rae
ing was conducted Last winter the
Manufacturers Contest Association drew
up a new set of racing rules. which
were subsequently, adopted by the
American Automobile Association IN
der them auto racing was systematized.
more careful and accurate record sheets
were kept and the stock car situation
was presented IN better form.
1t is on the cards that the Manu-
features Contest Association viii make
further recommendations 10 the three
A'sN and the suggestions VIII Undoubt-
edIy be adopted. It is. the Inanufactur-
ers VINO make possible racing and it is
rules TO govern the competitions The
1911 effort of the NJ G. A is calculated
to clarity the situation still further
While the seasons code was in the
main satisfactory, the speed campaign
uncovered lessons on minor points
These have been taken to heart and
when all the leading manufacturers are
in New York next month for the auto
mobile show, the whole racing question
viii 0e carefully considered Racing
gives the automobile industry impetus
and it is desirable that strict rules
should be adopted to govern the con-
tests
