"PoIly Of the Circus" Tonight.

Miss Elsie st. Leon and her entire
family of acrobats, bareback riders
and jugglers will be seen in Frederic
Thompson's big production of "Polly
Of the Circus" at the Colonial tonight
This highly interesting and captivat-
ing romance of the little circus rider
and the minister forms one of the
most pleasant and entertaining plays
of the season. The story of the play
is rather novel and it has that which
holds the heart strings and invites
even the jaded taste to a simple revel
in romance. 1t is piece that one can
see dozen times and go away with
laughter and tears. Its story is well
told and beautifully framed. The
scenic production is most elaborate
and the circus scenes true to life,
with acrobats, clowns, tumblers, bare
back riders and ringmasters, together
with horses and ponies. Polly" will
win her way into the hearts OF her
audience with her sweet and tender
manner. The many characters of the
play are all in capable hands.
