AT PoLPs.
Girls.

Good sized and well pleased audi ences enjoyed the performances at Poli's on Monday afternoon and even ing. when the Polis Players presented Girls. one of Clyde Fitch's farcical comedies. The three acts were finely staged, there being new scenrey, and in every particular the settings were well worked up.
 Gertrude Perry as Pamela Gordon, leader of the men haters, gave clever presentation of her role and her work was of the same high standard as has characterized it in the heavier plays. Sue Fisher showed that she has the proper temperament for the comedy work and was excellent, filling the role of Violet to the merriment of her audi ences. Emma Hayner as Miss Persell was a scream and her side splitting presentation of the jealous boarding house keeper was greatly enjoyed. Kate West as Virginia made the most of her part, while Robert LeSueur as Edgar Holt played the part in capital shape and won instant favor Lau- renee Dunbar pleased with his wor, while $. F. Cairns showed his thorough ability in his few lines. The other members of the company were well se- 1ected for their roles, making cast of strength and ability.
 There. are several reels of moving pictures between the acts and the au- dience manifested its thorough enjoy ment and appreciation of the efforts of the company by their frequent out bursts of applause The change from drama to comedy did not baff1e the players in the least and they gave evil dence of being perfectly at home.
