Polls Theater.

The Poll Players will say a temporary
good-by to Washington theatergoers
this week. The play chosen for their
farewell performances is the greatest of
the Henry Miller-Margaret Anglin star
ring successes, The Great Divide" This
piece was especially chosen, because lit
gives both the leading man and lead
ing woman almost equal opportunities.
The story of THE Great Divide" con-
Germs the lives of Stephen Client,
rough Western miner. and Ruth Jordan,
a sensitive, high-strung New England
girl. The play opens with Clients alb
duction Of Ruth, almost after the fash
ion of the primitive cave man. The
girls whole nature rebls at the treat
ment which she receives, but her pride
prevents her from acknowledging the
hateful details of her marriage to this
primitive man. When some Of her own
people visit her in her mountain home,
however, and she once more mingles
with those of her own kind. she rebels,
and goes back to her Eastern home
Here Client follows her. and in two
scenes Of great poetic beauty, as well
as dramatic force, he wins the true
love of the woman whom he adores.
In the role of Client, Mr.. Van Buren,
should be seen to especial advantage, for
Client is a character of great force and
integrity. As Ruth, Miss Jewel should
find ample scope for her emotional tai
ents. as well as for the most artistic de-
lineation Of moods and mental attitudes
Other members of the Poll company,
including Graham Velsey, Mark Kent,
Margaret Lee, Gertrude BondhilI, ].
Hammond Daily, Hardie Meakin, and
Harry Andrews. will have an opportu-
nifty to be seen at their best, creating
a pleasing memory for the Poll clientele
until the same company shall return to
once again.

so full OF appeal to the hearts OF au-
diences as is possessed by The Rain
bow his big Washington and New
York success of last season. which he is
bringing to the Columbia tomorrow
night for a reutrn engageent.
The story of the play tells OF a faith

baby daughter because Of marital mis-
understandings more than a dozen years
before the action of the play begins
The little girl spends her life in France
with her mother until she arrives at an
age when 1t is inevitable that she
notices that the fathers OF other girls
are their companions. She determines to
see her own father, and persuades her
mother to set sail for New York.
Nell Sumner. the father, estraneed
from his wife. has become an easy GO
ing man of the world. He maintains an
deliberately luxurious apartment in New
York and a stately country place on
Long Island, he owns a racing string

his time in pursuit of amusements that
he hopes will assuage his pain and
loneliness.

personality that wins his heart.

voted companions. but his greatest eff
fort cannot shake in an instant his for
mer mode OF life. The companions of
his reckless past cling closer than a
brother and because of them his little

mother, to whom the courts have given

Sumner Unexpectedly finds the daughter,
the loss of whom had sent him forth

between husband and wife is
effected through the girls influence. and
the last curtain descends upon one Of the
most beautiful scenes ever depicted in a
Henry Miller production.
Mr.. Miller will be supported here by
the original cast that appeared with him
