POLI'S

Many acts playing vaudeville en- gagements have been billed as the act beautiful. and while each has had some sort of claim to the title it rightfuuy belongs to an act which does, not use the billing at all. The act is that of Ella Bradna and Fred Derrick, closing the bill at Polls this week and featuring the highest class in public. :, While the riding is the predominating feature of the act. one simply must credit the act With a brillianey of appointments. There are three of the most beautiful horses used, each of them white. two of the slightly dappled order and one of them almost pure white. Fred Bradna him. self a particularly well groomed man. is the .ringnaster of the act. there is a groom in full livery and the two principals. Miss Bradna and Fred Derrick, are not only marvellous grace in everything they do. Miss Bradna is a beautiful woman. eX- tremeiy we'll moulded as to figure, and while we are not prone to call men beautiful MT. Derrick must be lis.ed in the handsome class" The cos est credit to the riders and at no two performances is the same costume worn. On a small stage these won derS of riding perform some daring 'feats and the close of the act reveals some ground to. back leaping by both which would make any act a Success. Miss Bradna and Fred Derrick have been the principal equestriaIis of the Barnum & Bailey circus for eight years, they are loved by every one connected with the big top and their act can well be called "the act beau tiful.' Their act is but one of the many good ones on the bill this week. with Pat Rooney and Marion Bent headlining the bill and Pat seeming g more nimble of legs than ever in his original style of dancing, much imi- -tated but never equaled. The Musi- kalgirls a quintet of feminine soloists with Estelle Churchill in the~ lead bring down volumes of applause with their 1liefIly artistic musical offering. and Bedinf and Arthur in comedy and juggling are the proverbiaf scream. The bill is opened with the ReXOs in truly marvellous exhibition on roll CTS of many descriptions. and Jerge and Hamilton offer a classy little singing and dancing act. Not the least enjoyable act by any means is the novel singing and comedy offering of Pasey and Ragland. always good for several encores.

A Reasonable Plan

If Your Stomach is Lacking in Diges. tive Power, Why Not Help the Stomach Do Its WOrk-EIs-
 pecialiy When It Costs
Nothing to Try?

NOL1IfS 10 Try!
 Not with drugs. but with a rein- forcement of digestive agents such as are naturally at work in the stomach |? Scientific analysis shows that digestion requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments. and the secretion of hydrochloric acid When your food fails to digest, it is proof positixe9 that some.,,of these agents are lacking in your. digestive apparatus.
 Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these or gans need. They stimulate the gas- tric glands and gradually bring the digestive organs back to their norman condition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to- critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to- contain nothing but natural digestives "a

PARK THEATRE
Miss Billie Burke in Suzanne.

Miss Billie Burke in ssSuzanne.,
 Miss Billie Burke, one of the most charming comediennes on the Ameri- can tage- comes to the Park on Mon day evening", February 27, in "Su- zanne," her latest and greatest com- edy success. She comes direct from an unusually successful run of nearly three months at the Lyceum Theatre, New York The piece in which Miss Burke has found such great favor was one of the most talked of plays in Paris last summer where it ran for several months. at the Renaissance Theatre. Oddly, too, it's popularity was due chiefly to its departure from the usual French comedy and farce In which the "seamy'' and sexual slaes predominate In this play the sophisticated girl, all smiles and sun shine, who is able to accomplish what ever she pleases through the sweet ness of her temperament. It is a character that touches everyone through its appealing simplicity and Burke quite the most engaging role Tor this reason has given Miss she has ever appeared in. Theatre goers the world over have the same affection that both New York and Paris have shown for Suzanne Beule- mans, the old Belgian beer bottler's pretty daughter The play had an exceptionally successful run in Vienna and is now being played all over Bel gfum, Germany and France. Miss Burke's supporting company is parti- cularly good this season, including Julian L'Estrange, G. w. Anson. Con way Tearle, Harry Harwood, Lums- den Hare, Rosa Rand and Alison Skipworth. Miss Burke brings with her. too, "The Philosopher in the Apple Orchard" a playlet by Anthony Hope, in which she has scored a hit in New York, and which she will present here as a curtain raiser
