"PoIIy of the Circus"

An event of the theatrical season
will be Polly of the Circus" Frederic
Thompson's magnificent production, to
be seen at the Auditorium soon. This
wholesome and simple story is one of
the most delightful plays of recent
years. 1t would be difficult to imagine
a prettier scene than that with which
the first act of Polly" closes. 1t is
there that the young girl of the circus
world gets her first insight into things
that are higher and better when as
she first regains consciousness and
realizes her helplessness, the minister
reads to her, at her request, those
memorable lines from the book of
Ruth: "Entreat me not to leave thee;
for whittier thou goest, will go; and
where thou lodgest, l will lodge" The
curtain falls and the story is begun.
Pathos is mingled through the play
with no less excellent humor than
Polly's slang, when she first conyerses
with the minister about his people.
She calls him Sky pilot" and, talk
ling of her business as compared with
his ministerial duties, says, "One year
you give them the rottenest kind of a
show and they eat it up; the next year
| you give 'em knockout and it's a
frost" Those are but random ex-
amples. The circus scenes of the third
act are revelations of stagecraft It's
all there, the rings, the horses, the
clowns and acrobats and everything
and everybody else. The setting of
the last scene of the third act is as
wonderful as it is beautiful. The cir
Gus trains and the wagons winding
away up the pathways while Polly re
mains once more and forever behind
and with the man after her own heart
Taken all in all, Polly of the Circus
offers more pure and wholesome enter
tainment than any play has had in a
long time, hence it's success.

the change was refused.

LICENSE ORDINANCE
MAY CAUSE FIGHT
Last Chance to Raise the
Tariff Will Be This
Evening.

1t is probable that the big fight in the
Gary council Chamber tonight will be
made on the high license ordinance
which will come up for third reading
again. If the city license is to be ad-
vanced from $3.50 to $500 or $500 it will
have to be done before April i SO the
opponents of the high license measure
will endeavor to secure its passage to-
night.
Aldermen Rowley, Simiasko, Feuer
and Bowser were for the $500 license at
the last session while Alderman
Szymanski Baukus, Gibson, Walsh
and Castleman voted on the amendment
to keen it az $3.50.
Other interesting ordinances will also
come up in the council including the re
vival of the park board ordinance. Ii Is
said that Alderman Castleman has some
new thrills and the most talked of sone
is his probable ordinance for the MAX
ing of the first Subdivision dry terri
tory thus wiping out the Gary hotel
bar and the Binzenhof buffet and block
ing any future attempts for saloons
north of the Wabash tracks.

the jollifcation. and these as we'll as
the members of the family have grown

anticipation
Mr.. Reiand'S birthday falls on
March IT, but owing to the distance
which some of the guests are obliged
to come, it is more convenient to cele-

done. But st. Patrick is not forgotten
when it comes to the matter of decora
ton even though the celebration is
postponed a day or two.
The dining room yesterday was
hung with festoons of green. a canopy
of variegated green being suspended

FALSE FIRE ALARMS
ANGER AUTHORITIES
Short Shrift Will Be Given
Guilty Persons If Police
Find Them Out.

A rigid investigation will be made by
the Gary police in an effort TO discover
the identity of the person or persons
who have sent in five false alarms from
the fire box at Washington street and
Tventy-fifth avenue between Thursday
afternoon to Sunday morning.
The fourth mysterious alarm came at
two o'clock Sunday morning and when
the department arrived on the scene
there was no fire in the vicinity.
City Is Menaced.
Probably the most serious conse-
quences might have resulted on Thurs
day afternoon when the department
was handicapped by reason OF its fight
ing four simultaneous fires in the first
subdivision and the south end. But
two fremen and Mayor Knots could be
detailed TO the far south end alarm and
when they arrived upon the scene they
found no wor kto do.
Friday night when the steel plant oil
house began to burn the department
hurried to the other end of the city in
response TO false alarm and later in
the evening a second alarm at Fifteenth
avenue and Madison street of incendiary
origin was attended with a sirnultane-
Gus alarm three miles away in the Kirk
var ddistrict.
Seop As Plot.
II is believed by some of the fremen
that the calling of the department to
the extreme south end of the city is
done with the intention to star an in
