THE THEATRES
POLLS.

This being "Club Week" at Polls
has been a gala week and practically
every social organization in the city
has been represented at some per-
Torrance with the Algonquin ano
Bridgeport clubs on their respective
nights turning out the largest num-
Der but it must be admitted that the
happy combination last night OF the
Clover, Myotis, A. B. c., At Belmont,
Prudential Life and six other organl-
cations made 1t the night of al
nights. The performers on the bill
entered into the spirit Of the occasion
and in almost every act some refer
ence was made to leading members OF
all the clubs present. This afternoon
more than 80 parties Of children will
be at the theatre, each party number
ing from 10 to 80 boys and girls and
tonight will wind UP Club Week
Those who haven't seen the especially
good bill Manager Poll booked in for
"Club Week" had best get In line for
tickets.
The bill is headed by Gus Edwards
School Boys and Girls with Lillian
Come, Sassy Little" the chief fun
maker and the special feature is Great
Lester beyond any doubt the master
ventriloquist of the world. The added
feature is Una Clayton and her COM
pany in ellis Local Color and by no
means the least feature Of the bill is
er than a horse can trot." All the 9th
er acts are especially good.
For the coming week Manager Poll
will present at the head Of the bill
Onaip, the worlds greatest i1lusionist
who was featured for an entire season
will present his wonderful conception,
Il he Hindoo Mystery which is pre-
cisely what it is called "a Mystery"
so much so that Manager Poll offers
a prize of five box seats to the one
who sees Onaip next week and then
gives the best explanation of how the
act is accomplished. It is apparently
a combination Of mental telepathy,
hypDotism and supernatural power
defying the laws Of gravitation and
stripped Of technica1ities the act may
be best described in this manner.
Onaip walks on the stage set to rep
resent the exterior Of a Hindoo tenn
some mysterious words to him appar-
emily hypnotizing him, then seats the
assistant at a piano and commands
him to play. This the man does and
while he is playing Onaip makes some
mysterious passes which result in piano
and man ascending in the air, turning
completely over and over and all The
while the man plays whether he be in
an upright Or inverted position. 1t
has puzzled millions. perhaps 1t won't
puzzle some wise resident of this
city.
The special feature Of the bill will
be the dainty and artistic act, "The
Urderstudy," presented by the De
Havo1l Sextette with Sydney G. Glib
son. The act is produced under the
personal supervision Of Mrs. George
De Haven, mother Of Carter De Ha-
ven and that means that it is pre-
scented by a woman who has no SUI
pelior in stage craft and as design
err Of costumes. 1t is beautifully
dressed act, beautifully staged and
the girls are not alone beautiful out
they are superb singers and dancers.
AS the added feature Manager Poll
will present Nat Haines and Will
Vilocq, the wholesale distributors Of
fun and they need no Introduction.
Any one who has seen the act know
that Nat Haines is riot. Also on the
bill will appear Wright Huntington
and company in the clever sketch,
1.-The Stolen Kiss" and others to ap
pear will include Lynch and Zel'er,
the last word in juggling, Pierre ana
Ma'zee the Fashion Plates and West
on Fields and Carroll, Three Boys and
a Piano.
The Poll marvel motion pictures

when you sit down and figure it all
out
