POLI'S.

Manager Po1i is going to do his share to add to the joyousneSs of ThankSglV- ing Week, for he has booked in for Poli's next week a veritable feast or entertaining acts which will individ- ually and collectively appease the most strenuous vaudeville appetite. Thanks giving Week is always a big week at Polls and Manager Poli always en- deavors to keep his thousands of pa irons in the holiday spirit with a complement of acts apropos of the oc-
 casion. As per example, he will of fer as the headline of the holiday bill next week Jack Rogan's swagger mu-
 sical comedietta, After the Matinee
 with De Haven and Sidney aided and
 abetted by a seXtet of girls promised
 to be the best looking six in the vau- devilles. Rogan, who produces the act. | is an old time vaudevillian and a new
 school producer He believes in spar ing nothing in the way of expense, Tn the way of talent and cvostumes and his new offering will well bear this out when it is seen here. The act is in four scenes, the first of which is presumed to take place in the lobby | of the new Hotel Astor in New York; | the second in the concourse of the Pennsylvania railroad; the third midwinter scene, and the last novel | finale. l De Haven and Sidney are we'll | have appeared here in their own act, .'The Dancing Walters, and later with "The Song Shop" They are about the classiest hard shoe dancers ! in the business and combine with their dancing the ability to act. The six | girls, who appear in four changes of | costumes, are all on the petite order | though decidedly shapely. and they | have splendid singing voices and are
 nimble dancers. The act is expected to prove the production success of the | season..
 With the headline act will appear a list of acts wlt.th is remarkable in that each act has at theatres all | about the country been headlined or featured. There will be Claude and Fannie Usher, assisted by their famous
 dog Spareribs, in the semi-pathetic
 pastel of life; "Fagan's Decision, :: we'll connected In plot and is superb ly acted by those two talented people. Then there will be Blossom Seeley the
 Frisco Girl, and incidentally the sing
 ing sensation of present day vaude-
 vile. Miss Seeley is a Californian
 born in Los Angeles, and has played
 in stock and musical productions on
 the coast. She has been engaged for
 the new Lew Fields production which
 has it's premiere in January, and 'l therefore has but a few vaudeville | weeks left. Miss Seeley will prove tC be a revelation in character coon songs
 Another act which is in demand in al the best houses is that of the Exposi- tion Four, Brady Brothers and Alex ander, the most versatile quartet o1 males appearing on any stage. They sing. dance, play different musical in struments and wear classy clothes.
 A novelty on the bill will be the Var Der Koors, called "The Quack Illus
 ionists'', with the mind reading duck
 They offer clever magic intersperset with real comedy, and will surely bt | a rapid fire hit. Still another decided novelty on the bill will be Charles Ol- cott and while so-called 'piano acts have appeared regularly at Polfs. MT ; Olcott is the last word in this line for in addition to a rapid fire mono : logue he offers solely and alone the en- tire production of a comic opera in ter minutes. Finally there will be the Three Mascagnos. comedy acrobats oi different character, for they vii show surprising stunts in the acrobatiC line while fully attired in street clothes The Electrograph will show most pleas ing views, and holiday music will bt
 supplied by the Poli orchestra.
