Laskys brilliant offering "At the Wsldorf" with it's gorgeous scenery and gowns, it's. clever cast of twenty people and it's incidental music and comedy as we'll as dancing numbers will close It's engagement at Pofs Theatre tonight with a record of hav- ing pleased more people than any sim liar act that has appeared here. The bill in it's entirety received the high est coTmendation due to the splendid merit of the other acts on the bill as well and each act sets a record for encores. For the coming week Man ager Poli will offer another of the ar tistic Lasky acts, incidentally the new est one that Lasky h2s sent out and radically different in nature from any hitherto produced by this great ori- ginator of vaudeville productions.
 Mana ger Poli will offer Laskys Im- perial Musicians, without any aues- tion the most artistic musical act in the vaudevllles. There are twelve peo- pie in the act, eight men and four women, and each is a soloist selected from some leading musical organiza- tion either of the concert stage or band and orchestra of national reputation. Two of the company have appeared with the Boston Symphony Orchestra prior to being engaged for this act, one of the girls. Miss Rose was form- erly of the Three Roses. a sterling, musical act in vaudeville, a trombonist was soloist with Arthur Priors Band, a cornettist was formerly with Victor Herbert and so it goes all through the personnel of the company.

The act is pre- sented in two scenes the opening scene of which represents a mon stery with the monks going to evening prayer and the chimes, incidentally the larg- est set of chimes ever used on the stage, tolling in the distance. From this scene changes to the barracks of in the uniform of this crack military organization render solos. trios and ensemble numbers the repertoire rang ing from the severest and most diff cult classical selections to the popular brand of music and each rendered ar tistically.
