''Lilt|e Billy" is
 Big Hit At Polls
Maud Tiffany, ''The Butterfly and Keno & Green Also
 Please Large Audience

Little Billy made the hit of the bill at Polls last night. The diminu- tive chap received enthusiastic ap- plause for his efforts in the song and dance line. He is no spring chicken and it is a good guess to say he is one of the numerous Lilliputians who have won fame and fortune on the vaudeville stage. This statement is made with the knowledge that Little Billy is likely to rush into the office tomorrow and furnish proof that he is only 12 years old. But leaving CT is undeniably clever. He sings various character songs in a capable manner and even journeys into the realms of poetry by reciting James Whitcomb Riley's Little Orphan An nie' with an appropriate setting of pajamas and little white bed.
 Maud Tiffany is pretty enough to have her picture on the front page and she knows how to get popular song over the footlights. Her act might be further improved if she clos ed with the song Honey Man" or at least used that number as some thing besides an opener for her act. Her song, "Oceana Roll' and an Ital- ian character selection were particu- larly good.
 ."The Butterfly is the name of the sketch presented by Jere Grady & Co. Grady furnishes plenty of conn edy in the part of a rich contractor who doesn't wish his son to marry an actress but suddenly changes his mind, Edith Lucket and W. Langford were the other members of the com pany and both did well.
 Joe Keno and Rosie Green pleased the folks immensely with their hyp- notic dance. Keno has some rapid fire comedy that keeps the audience laughing. His tale to Miss Green about the beautiful princess in fairy land is very bright. Miss Green is a graceful dancer.
 Kaufman Bros. added to the rag time list of the evening. They. sang That College Rag" and 'That Mys- terious Rag" and also furnished a little burlesque opera. Their singing is much better than their comedy.
 La Toy Bros. are seen in a good pantomimic act. They have num- Der of new stunts You have to give them credit for in these days it is rather difficult to think of an original way of jumping on a table Or falling off chair.
 The Three Weston Sisters open the performance in, musical skit. Their cornet selection was the best feature of their work.

MAETERLlNck'S PLAY.
A Word About Beautiful Pantominte
Running Now in New York.

\ distinguished Belgian writer,
named Maurice Maeterlinck, is the au-
thor of II play which. to all who can
See clearly, is q most beautiful pam
tomime. To some it Is full of Wis
dom, but there are none who fail to
understand how wonderful fairy tale
it is. Maeterlinck has ina gined hap

and though they wander far atield.
meeting with various adventures. they
soon learn, on returning home, that
this elusive Blue Bird, as variable as
the sunshine, is close at hand and
within the reach of all.
What would You do If you were
asked suddenly to go forth and find
this happiness which is on the wing:
Where would you turn. how would you
proceed, who would accompany YOU:
Maeterlinck has strange ways or tell
ing a story; his eyes not only SEQ
things as they are, but picture what
things are within themselves. This ia
not more wonderful in the fairy world
than tho Invisible Cap or the Seven
I.cagued Boots which we never queS-
ton hut believe in as fairy fact.
Nor is II more marvellous that Bread
or Water or. Fire or Sugar or Milk
should have soul than that 4 prin-
cess should be transformed into q
witch. or that a prince should be con-
cealed beneath the outward form or
a wild animal. We people who dwell
on earth are blind sometimes. becausa
we do not use our imaginatfons.
You remember probably that Peter
Pan asked question: do YOU be-
leye in fairies?" Upon your answer
depended the flickering life of Tinker
Bell. Maeterlinck also asks O ques-
ton through his little boy hero: IL
any of you should find the Blue Bird.
would you be so very kind as to give
him back to US? We need
him for our happiness later on" It
