POLI'S

One big event of the stock season at Poil's theatre will be the return tc Bridgeport of Jessie Pringle, signaliz- ca by her appearance next week ir
 over Night" the great current com cay success to be produced by the Poli Players as their offering durins the coming week. No actress who ev- CT appeared in Bridgeport has achiev. ca greater personal popularity oI larger following than Miss Pringle lnee on Monday is sure to be the sig nal Tor hearty reception from heI followers
 Miss Pringle is justly rated as one or the cleverest of character women playing in stock productions in Amer lea and her engagement with the Poli Piayers is but in keeping with the quality of the company throughout.
 That Bridgeporters who keep in touch with whats what" in the the- atrical world are quick to appreciate golden opportunity is shown by the large advance sale this week for ''Over Night"
 This great little comedy took Broad way by storm, and several compan- les are now playing upon the road in the principal cities. The production next week by the Poli Players is the hrst performance in stock of Over Night in the country. Manager Po- H NoS uOt OAIy 0uSA&eQ the eXClu- sive rights of the greatest laughing treat of the American stage for the Polf Players, but Bridgeport also is to get the benefit of the entire scen- ic production used by the original w. A. Brady company, and in every re- spect the performance given in Bridge port next week at the popular play house will be the equal of the pro duction which made a record metro poHtan run.
 Over Night"-which is from the pen of Philip sBartholomae-is aptly la belled by the critics as ''one long lin gering laugh" From beginning to but action and fun. You don't have to wait for the plot to thicken'-it starts right off at the rise of the cur tain and is continuous without a pause until the very end.
 How two honeymoon couples be- came very unexpectedly mixed up on a voyage up the Hudson, and the when efforts were made to explain things-that in brief, is the plot of Over Night and it gives but a meagre idea of the oceans of laughter which are cut loose in this riot of fun. Over Night is not a heavy drama, nor is it a great moral 'uplift' play: don't expect either of these things if you go to Polls next week, but if you're looking for a riot of laughter, good fun and real entertainment, then take in "Over Night" and get your wish. ; Particular attention is called to the completeness of the production throughout-but that's the regular thing at Polls. Always the leaders, the Poh Players are giving Bridge port today the up-to-date plays that other stock companies won't be per- forming until years from now. No skimping on royalties here.
 Ladies are learning that Polfs- situated in the heart of the down. town shopping district-affords the ideal spot to pass a pleasant after noon and yet afford the time and con- venience for shopping as well.
 Many special attractions are sched- uled for next weeks matinees, all of them of particular interest to the la dies.
 On Monday afternoon a beautiful $65 tailor-made suit will be given to some lady. No strings attached to this gift, beyond the condition that the recipient must be in the audience.
 Tuesday afternoon the patrons of Polls will get a surprise in the form of a, handsome souvenir photograph of popular player.
 On Thursday the regular matinee performance will be followed by a reception on the stage, and the audi ence will be given a chance to make the personal acquaintance of the stars composing the personnel of the PoE Players Ice cream and other light refreshments will be served
