PACKED OPENING NIGHT
 NEW THEATRE
Excellent Vaudeville Bill Pleases Mammoth Audience Handsome New Amusement Temples Inaugural is Most
 AuspiciOuS

Everybody who could purchase a seat or get a. free pass attended the opening of the new Poli vaudeville theatre, last night. It was a large evening and one that will long be re- menbered by those who were in there sitting on the upholstered seats.
 Young men with a reserve supply of adjectives have told the public of the beauties of the new playhouse. From the time they sighted the footman out side the entrance, brave in his glitter ing uniform, until they sat in the chairs. the folks were enthusiastic about everything they saw:
 It was fitting on such an suspicious occasion that a. good bill should be provided, and the management took care of that department. The show is excellent from opening to close and each number was appreciated.
 The biggest hit of the evening was scored by the Bell Family. Mexican
 musicians singers and dancers At troupe played that favorite melody, Waiting for the Robert E. Lee'', and the eager listeners demanded more. Then came a medley of patriotic airs including .HThe Star Spangled Banner and My Country 'Tis of Thee The greatest enthusiasm of the night was shown here and it was an inspiring sight as that Oth audience arose and remained standing while the tfOnal airs were played. Another good feature Of sthe act was the dancing of some fair senorita whose name does not appear on the program. Slle was introduced in a duet with a romantic looking brigand and although the guage nobody understood, the audience grasped the fact that the girl was tell ing her admfrer to chase himself. The rendition of the classical numbers. such as the sextet from Lucia, were also good
 The premier German comedians, Wilson Bros, were accorded an ova- ton upon their first appearance. They have new lot of nonsense and it all makes a hit The popular songs, That Mysterious Rag and Every were translated into German with great success. The yodelfng numbers also went well. The stern command Get out'', which provoked laughter last season when seen here, was a mirth producer also.
 Haydn, Dunbar and Haydn, present the people with them from the start One of the best things in the act was solo. The Rosary, played on one string violin An imitation of to Be in Dixie" and When I Get You Alone Tonight, was another suc- cess. Eccentric dancing with an inni- tation of George Primrose thrown in occasion.
 saT11e Girl from Childs' is the title or ClG SL6ppy P4dylot presented Dy Hal Davis & Go. Inez Macau1ey & Company. There are many funny situations in this sketch crea ted by the. fact that Mary. the girl from Childs', goes to work as a servant in the household of her divorced husband The meeting between the two is very painful and they roast each other in spicy language. There are plenty of laughs with a little philosophy on the side. Miss Macauley looked pretty swaSger as the servant and her act ing was immense. Hal Davis was great as Henry Bull, the divorced hus- band, and Sara Lewis was pleasing in the part Of the second wife
 Max'S International Burlesque Cir GUS closed the show. A tall skinny man who wrestles with himself, and a troupe Of trained ponies won much applause.
 The revolving table which wes easy for the pony to ride aon proved very difficult for the boys brought in from the audience. They remained on the table for short time but finally were " whizzed into space amid loud laugh ter from the I11sympathetic public The bucking mule provided consider able amusement by throwing all the boys who tried to ride it.
 Wood and Wyde have a neat and refined singing and dancing act A bunch of clever comedy is introduced and a number of catchy songs.
 The Three Mori Bros. had the honor of being the first act to appear on Polls new stage. These slant eyed Japs performed 8 number of ba1anc- ing tricks and then earned an ovation for their work in tossing barrels and catching them with their feet. They are unusually clever at these tricks.
 The Poliscope with a series of new and interesting motion pictures closed the performance
