POLI'S

All this week the Pol players will present. Mary .Jane'S Pa.'' a gripping play full of comedy and romance It was written by Edith Ellis Baker and is characteristic of her brilliant, wit throughout There is no problem to solve nor any baffling situations to puzzle you. for it is simply a comedy written to please and amuse, not to shock This is the play that Henry Dixey starred in for two seasons and no greater proof of it's merit in the theatrical world could be wished for than this fact alone. MT. Melrose portrays the role of Hiram. the errant husband. and Miss Star plays the part of his wife. Portia MT. Hummell is seen as Skinner. the contemptible old miser. while MT Macauley plays the part of Rome Preston, his political ri val Mr. Byron, as the man who wears a fur coat in the middle of summer. is wringing tears of laughter from his. audiences. The other mem bers of the company cleverly portray their respective roles.
 Next week the company will be seen in another screemingly funny comedy of every day life Billy" It could be fittinely termed 'laughroarscream ; for there is not a line or situation in the play that does not bring a laugh from the audience.
 Tomorrow night will be souvenir Night'' and all the ladies present will receive an autographed photo of MT. William Macauley
