MAT WELLER IS FEATURE
 OF POLL BANQUET CABtRET

The cabaret feature of the PoIi din- ner proved extraordinarily interesting to the guests. The performers were among the best in the show business and they kept something going every
 minute.
 A large portion of the Poli theatre bill was reproduced in part and there were special acts from the Poli thea Ire in New Haven, including the Cab aret Kids, who sank modern ditties up and down the dining room, between the tables, wa1tzed a little, and much increased the merriment. Wilson Brothers sang some clever German dialect songs, and told some merry jests.
 One of the features of the occasion was unexpected. Mat Wie1er was in the room, a guest of the evening. There was a shout of 'WielerI Vie ler!'' which was taken up by hun. dred voices. After a time MT. Wieler acceded to the request, and sang in his most rollicking style tsYip-I-Addy-I- Ay'', in which 200 voices joined as the ma gnificent baritone rolled unctuous- 1y through the dining room.
 The acts were staged on a temporary stage, at the west of the dining room A piano was on the ground and an ac- com plished accompanist, with an or chestra of several pieces furnished a salfficiency of instrumental music in the intervals between the acts.
