The Poll Players at Chase's.

When the announcement was made that
Chase's Theater would remain open for
the summer months il aroused both in
terest and curiosity.
The management was deluged with
questions which all remained unanswered
until the announcement that the Poll
Players would be presented by Edward
Renton for the first time in Washington
April II.
1t has always been somewhat of a mys-
terry to Washington people who spend
the most of their summer at home why
one of the largest, coolest and most
homelike playhouse in the city should
offer them summer attraction. Mr..
ChaSe'S explanation has been that until
now he has received no proposition from
theatrical producer whom he felt
would uphold the Chase policy of giving
an excellent show at prices that are
within the reach of everybody-in other
words, a producer that would uphold the
reputation he had established for the
house
When Mr.. Poll proposed the installatio
of "A stock company for the spring and
summer season. Mr.. Chase agreed, be
cause. he said. the Poll Players, Wher-
ever they have become established dur
| ing the past ten years, have stood for the
| best there is in theatrical production.
! Mr. Poll is the sole owner and manager
Of the largest individually owned theater
circuit in the world. He has twenty sep
| arate and distinct companies in ten OF
/ the largest cities in America.
The company which will open the stoci
! engagement in ChaSe'S Theater the weel
| of April H. according to announcement
was selected by Mr.. Polls staff under tbs
| management of Edward Renton, who
| states that in eighteen years experience
| in handling stock organizations he ha.
| never acquired "a more evenly balanced
| clever. up-to-date, better dressed an6
more artistic company than the one he i:
bringing TO Washington"
| The plays promised for presentation b,
| the Poll Players are the latest Broadway
| successes that have been. and still are
| playing at 81 prices in New York and thu
| leading cities of America. Not one o
them. 1t is claimed, has ever been played

The regular Chase policy will govern
