POLI'S THEATRE

Following the veritable triumph scored by the Poi players of Wash ington and Bridgeport at the popular playhouse this week in "The Thief, D Bernstein's absorbing drama, the man agement is providing for next week a dramatic treat equal in merit to this weeks attraction if not superior. For the first time by any stock organiza- ton in this city the reorganized Poli players will present Mrs Hodgson optimism. ."The Dawn of Tomor row. in which Eleanor Robson rose to the heights of stardom.
 Most theatre goers will recall haV- ing seen Miss Robson in the delight full role of Glad" three seasons ago when the play toured America after London, where it ran for many months. Those who did not witness the play undoubtedly have read the remarkable novel by Mrs Burnett adapted. In any event everybody who has ever heard of s"The Dawn of a Tomorrow will be anxious to see it played.
 An exceptionally lavish production is being prepared by the Poli manage ment and besides an augmented cast elaborate array of stage mountings di- rect from the studios of Leibler 8 Company, who produced the play originally and with whom Manager Poi negotiated for the original set tings. At the time the play was brought out there was widespread comment in theatrical circles over the great London fog scene which Twas conceded to be the most wonderful effect ever devised by the wizards Of stagecraft. This scene will be shown in all it's realistic detail in the Poli production next week.
 The members of the Washington Bridgeport company who made such a splendid showing this week in t4The Thief" will be seen in advantageous parts and many of the favorites who were not in this weeks bill Will re- turn to play principal roles MT. Van Buren. the leading man, who has al ready become a solid favorite, will

play the part of Dandy, the reformed thief.
 This is part radically different from the role in which he is appear ing this week and will give the lead ing man an opportunity to display the versatility for which he is noted. strikingly attractive leading woman will play the role of Glad" created by Eleanor Robson. The character big opportunities of her career and she may be counted upon to rise to every chance. Mark Kent, who dis tinguished himself this week in one of the finest pieces of character act ing ever seen local stage, will play the part of Sir Olivar Holt, one of the principal characters about kaH, Stuart Fox, Thomas Williams, Marguerite Starr, Jessie B. Pring1e Guy Harrington, Dorothy Bernard, Ora ham Velsey and other members of the Washington and Bridgeport aggrega- ton will all be seen in congenia1 roles.
 The story of t"The Dawn of a To- morrow is grippingly interesting from the very moment of the rise of the first curtain. It is a story Of what op- tirnism and cheerfulness will accom- pl1sh over despair, disease, and vice.
 Glad the heroine, a ha1f-Staryed, ragged street waif of the infamous Wshttchapel section of London, is the opt thistle angel who comes to the aid of Sir Oliver Holt when in despera- tion from the ravages of disease he seeks to lose himself in the slums and there end his misery by suicide.
 The same tGlad'' fights Hge a tigress for the life of her lover, Dandy, minis ters to the wantS-of the helpless, de- serted unfor rtunates of Apple Blossom Court" and after four acts demon stratet, that her homely philosophy, Things ain't never half so bad as they seem to be- is entirely correct.
 Aside from the principals, the play contains many interesting and some very amusing types of the London s1ums. The situations are intensely interesting without being over-melo- dramatic and the dialogue is pithy and bright Patrons of Polis will find in ..The Dawn of a Tomorrow next week a fine play admirably acted and cleverly staged.

wonderful story of .The Limber1ost" country of Indiana is booked for two days, Oct. 29 and 30. The fact that there have been more readers of this in a decade-a fair estimate is in the millions-makes the dramatization of the utr1 ost importance to the drama tic world. t-F'reckles'' as a drama is stronger than "F'Feck1es" as a story. The characters live. love and have their adventures. Music for the play and the songs rendered by FreckIes are by the Viennese composer, Anatol sF,ried1and.
