ss5f'tae Fears and Laughs in P0lly'


 Did it ever occur to you that the most sueces.ful comedy in the coun- ary could alsoS be the most. prolificl tear producer on the American stage? ?l Wae.he it did or net doesn't mat tey. Polly of she Circus in which winsame little Mss St. Leon is break ing the theatrical records of the nac- in and which soon comes here, has enc hundred and thirty-eight good, hearty laughs in it-laugls that sweep through the audience like d summer breeze and cause every dia- phragm between the top row in the .gallerySand the front TOW in the or chesttF to vibratei with joy It also brings to every throat at least doZ- ca big gulps, ard at eleven different tines forces tears to the eyes of ey- cry man, woman and child present , who has, eyesights and can hear. At e'eycn8s points .n the play the whole audieIfee reaches for it's handkerchief, and during the succeeding moment or two the house from the stage looks aiilke d b,iea,s crowded with friefds wau-' {, in geefarewelis tosane.eutgeing Atlantic liner. Not that the audience is way ing handkeIchiefs but the appearance of sixteen hundred people w:ping their eyes simultanec cusly is not unlike the sight of ,an equal number of people } wigwagging s.au revoir.'
 The other day a newspaper statlsl- ,cian figured that every performance of Polly" each person in the audi ence sheds ten tears, besides laughing 138 times. That made 16,000 tears a night, or 144,0OO tears week.
 Laughter ard tears are primitive things and are very close to one an- other A real lhumorist always has a well defined streak of pathos in him [ take Eugene Fields for instance. 'Just so a man in whom the pathetic note is strong is equipped with fine sense of humcr. Abraham Linco.n was striking example of this. It is always easy to restore smiles to their tear-dimmed eyes. Every really good comedy has few tears in it, and these tears never detract from the h!l- nor of the play or the playing.
 This play will be seen at the Eiks Theater Monday, March II. ".ea
