] 'The Antique Girl' is sweeping her 1 dainty way into the hearts of Bridge
 ports theatregoers at Polls this week and will leave behind her one of the 1 most delightful impressions ever made by a vaudeville act in this city. Seemingly a new era in vaudeville is | ushered in by acts of the many little musical comedy, which head lines the bill at the popular play house this week, and which is the lat est and best effort of Jesse Lasky, mot successful of vaudeville produ- cer. and known as ''the Belasco of the variety stage"
 Maud Earl, who plays the title role, is one of the most dainty and magnet ic of actresses on the stage to-day, in either vaudeville or the legitimate. With Doris wilson, Fletcher Norton, Charles Pusey and the others in the certainly claim the title to carrying
 the best and most expensive company
 of any act ever staged in vaudeville, ! and everything about the production is based on a similar scale.
 The music, which is by Robert Hood Bowers, composer of ''The Red Rose' and many other successes, is of the ! highest quality and at the same time full of tuneful phrases which strike the popular fancy.
 "The Antique Girl" is a sure win
 ner from beginning to end and is fractions ever booked for Polls, es-
 pecially when taken in conjunction with the all-star bill this week. Harry Mayo's splendid voice digs
 way down into the roots of things,
 when he hits the low notes. Mayo
 for many years has been known to theatregoers as the star of the Em- pire City Quartette, and now in a
 single act he more than sustains the splendid reputation made for himself in former years.
 Front seats in boxes are in great demand for the remainder of the week ever since Sassy Little' Gillian Gonne) established a precedent on Monday afternoon by leaning over the footlights and delivering real live
 kiss to lucky fellow in the box She is still the jolliest and cutest bit of
 femininity on the boards and with her partner MT. Brice, furnishes a big 7hare in the entertainment.
 In "A Texas Wooing," Middleton, Spellmayer & Company have an in- tensely dramatic skit which holds the sharpest attention of the audience from beginning to end. The climax is a most startling and sudden one and one cannot help being worked up to high pitch of excitement, so clev- erly is the little playlet worked out. Friday night will. be big one at the popular playhouse, when gold watch will be given away to the per son who is most successful in riding the marketable mule. Obey part of Hickeys Comedy Circus. Obey is furnishing comedy ythe barrel this
 week, as attested by the hilarious uproar of every audience when the
 mules share of the entertainment is
 in progress.
 Kfmble & Donovan know the ban jo backward and forward and can
 elicit more catchy melody from this
 instrument than any pair of entertain
 CTS seen here for a long time. Their act is always a hit.
 The remarkable ladder stunts by
 Apollo, the great novelty entertainer, are interesting every audience this
 week. Then the Electrograph has a
 motion picture reel of exceptional in-
 teyest and Polls Concert orchestra is
 rendering some catchy hits. Alto
 gether it is one of the great bills of
 the season and is being correspond
 ingly appreciated. Seats are going
 fast, so get in line soon.
