ter in New York. Getting a Polish was
written for the jolly eomedienne by Booth
Harrington and Harry Leon Wilson. who
were also responsible for 'The Man from
Home" and 1t is generally agreed that In
the part OF Mrs. Jim Griggs Miss Irwin
has a vehicle excellently suited to her art
Getting a Polish sets forth May Irwin
as Mrs. Jim Griggs, who starts out as
landlady of a boarding house in Yellow
Dog. Mont. and ends in Paris hobnob-
bing with a lot Of people whom she
imagines to be social leaders. the while
she is developing her complicated ma
ture.' A lucky strike in a gold mine
makes all this possible. The part gives
the jolly comedienne the chance to do a
lot of different things, and she is very
funny in doing them. Several songs. in
cidental to the action. one Of them the
revived Teaching McFadden to Waltz -
are sung as only Miss Irwin could sing
