PoIi's Theater.

A delightful. wholesome and helpful
comedy will be presented by the Poll
Players next week. It Is Winchell
Smiths masterpiece, The Fortune
Hunter" which has enjoyed enormous
success in every city In which It has
been seen.
Mr.. Smith. who is also the author
Of "Brewster's Millions" has told a re-
marksble clever story with q wealth Of
bright lines which have a ring of true
philosophy about them. He has taken
as his hero a young man whose first
youth has been spent in the city where
he has frittered away his opportunities
and his nights. AS the play opens he Is
without employment and without money.
His chum suggests that he become a
fortune hunter. not OF the pistol and
rapier type. but a man who goes In
quest Of a wealthy wife.
How admirably the scheme works and
yet how the fortune hunter illustrates
his own fortune Intentionally, constitutes
the plot of the comedy.
Izetta Jewel win be seen as the win
some daughter OF the village druggist,
who convinces the fortune hunter that
his quest Is useless. Mr.. A. H. Van
Buren will be seen n the title role

Belasco.

Next week the Butterfeld Players win
present Henry Arthur Jones master
piece. THE Hypocrites' which was last
seen here in April, 1907. when it was
presented by Charles Frohman, after a
seven months sensational run at the
Hudson Theatre, New York City.
Mr.. Jones built his play on the text.
''Expediency is mans wisdom; doing
right is Gods" The title is obviously
Indicated in the canting hypocracy Of
certain people who. 10 serve their own
ends. are blind 10 the injustice OF
phase OF social evil which unfortunately
exists the world over.
THE Hypocrites' will serve to intro
duce Mr.. Franklin Ritehie. the new lead
ing man Of the Butterield Players, who,
from his success with many other i'm
portant stock organizations, seems des-
tined to prove one OF the most popular
leading men seen here In some time.
The new leading woman. already a
prime favorite at the Belasco, will
be seen in the important role OF
Mrs. wilmore, originally played by Miss
Jessie Millward. Mr.. Everett Butterheld
has the vitality important roll Of Leonard
wilmore, created by Richard Bennett.
Every other member of the company
have strongly drawn characters which
will show them to exceptional advan-
tage.
