The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-03-03
POLES.

Manager PoH sends word that the bill he will offer next week is of the sort that Poli patrons will simply rave over and the man who owns nine, teen theatres is usually conservative in his remarks as to the quality of the bill. Any one who knows vaudeville and is sufficiently acquainted with il to have some idea of the salaries paid can readily arrive at the conclusion that the bill is in the three thousand dollar class. It is headed by Lli- Han Herlein, who was booked for the opening week here but was compelled to cancel by reason of a most serious illness from which she has now fully recovered. Miss Herlein is a big fa- vorite here as she is in every Euro pean city and in the larger cities of this country and her appearance here last year, her statuesQue beauty her worthy gowns and her artistic singing act were talked of for months. She returns with several trunks of new costumes, new songs. and almost an entire new act. From the London Hippodrome comes the specially en- gagged attraction for next week Budd- has Mysterious Blackboard, a mystic marvel a lifeless Lolo so to speak for the plain blackboard by some unseen power answers questions by writing on the board in full view of the audi ence with all lights up. England, France and Germany failed to solve this mystery perhaps American and mayhap Bridgeport will unravel the mysterious knot. At Polls there will be the first appearance of this sensa- tion in this country. A brilliant ag- gregation of stellar acts has been booked in conjunction with these two attractions and they include Harry Beresford and company in new play let by Harry Burke and Bozeman Bull 10f on 1yy7n hoe cctao writer. The name of the playlet is ''23 Mulberry Bend'' and it is a typi- cal pastel of the east side in New York. There are four people in the cast which includes Patty Allison the popular stock favOrite here. Another Kent hodge podge of musical cons edy singing and dancing and decid- ed feature of the coming weeks bill will be the appearance of vaudevilles most artistic dancing act Jack Moi fett and Elsie Clare featuring their famous whirlwind waltz a part Of their act sufficiently good to win for them an engagement as a feature act of big Broadway production at the close Of their tour of the Poli circuit. Incidentally the act of Moffett and Clare is notable for the splendid cos tuning of the girl who has been call- ed by the writers the "Genee of Vaudeville Edwards, Van and Tier ney will offer a great singing act the consensus of opinion being that they have a decided shade on all the male singing trios that have gone before and Martinetti and Sylvester will of fer their marvellous and at the same time amusing series of acrobatic stunts. When you come to look 1t over it is some bill and the record for attendance is due to be passed. This weeks bill headed by Isabelle DAT mond assisted by George Moore and with Ed Reynard as the associate headline act seems to meet with pop ular favor and applause honors are evenly distributed throughout the whole bill. But few good seats remain for the rest of the week and those who intend seeing this great bill should order seats early
