I IN THE THEATRES,
POLI'S

Tonight at Polls Theatre the won derful man monkey, Peter, will be seen for the last time in this city. and it is needless to say that there will be a capacity house at his farewell per- formance. Peter has proven to be the biggest drawing card in the history of Poli's. and the little ones are out by the hundreds this afternoon to witness his marvellous exhibition of intelli- gence.
 For next week Manager Poli has hooked in a bill which is in every way the best bill in many years at this theatre. Heading the aggregation of all star acts will be seen Jesse l.. /. Lasky's s10.000 musical comedietta, "At the Waldorf, with Knute Erickson and company of twenty-five clever people. "At the Waldorf" is MT. Lasky's most beautiful and most cost ly act, and what this means may be judged from the fact that Lasky is the man who has produced 'The Love Waltz, Twentieth Century Limited "At the Country Club'', and a score of other wonderfully staged, acts.
 With the scenario of this conedietta laid in the famous Waliorf-Astoria in New York city, one of the most fash- ionab,e hotels in the world it is to be expected that the sartorial display as well as the stage settings will be most elaborate to be in keeping with the at- inosphere. and Lasky is consistent above all else. There are twelve beautiful girls in the company, each of the show girl type rather than chorus girl. and this means that nature has endowed them with physical charms to well display handsome gowns.
 Blanche Lasky. sister of MT. Lasky. personally visited the Worth establish ment in Europe to procure the gowns seen in this production. and when it is advertised that they are Worth gowns il Is just the same as writing it in the bond. for they are Worth of Paris creations and nothing else. There are also eight classy chars in the company together with a half dozen principals. making the largest and most expensive single vaudeville act in America It is not alone on the beauty of it all that MT. Lasly seeks honors but on 1t takes to produce it there is con- densed all the essential goodness one would find in the two dollar admission, three hour musical comedy of today, and there is nowhere in the production the slightest evidence of suggestive ness.
 On the bill with this great produc- tion will be seen six other acts of the very highest class, each of which has at ether times headlined bills of pre- tentiousness. For example there will appear Binns. Rinns ard Binns known to vaudeville and musical comedy fame as '"The Vagabonds" and presenting an act that has the happy faculty of combining real comedy features with artistic instrumental work: Alcide Capitaine, the Perfect Woman. mean ing one of the best formed women of the contemporary stage and won derful performer on the flying trapese; Frank Rogers the coIored ventrilo- quist and one of the sensational finds of the present vaudeville season; Ward. klare and Ward. presenting Searl AL lens screamingly funny sketch, "The Twin Flats; Kessler and Dunn, youthful novelty dancers. and Barry and Wolford, in "It Happened on Mon day."
 Seats for the entire week are now on sale and attention is. called to the fact there will be snecial holiday performances Tuesday afternoon and evening with night prices charged for the afternoon of that day as is the usual custom.
