Poll Company Is to Haze
Another NewL Leading Man
Paul McAlIster, Who Has Been with the Bridge
port Company All Summer, Is Trans
ferred to Washington Theater.

After seeing the initial performance of
Robert Cain as leading man Of the Poll
Players in ARIZONA" last Monday night
It was my belief that he had neither the
artistic power nor the physical charm to
meet the requirements of q successful
leading man of an otherwise well bal
anced stock company.
Corroborating this opinion, which was
expressed in The Herald last Tuesday
morning, comes the announcement from
Manager Thatcher that Mr.. Cain Will
close his engagement with the Poll Com
pany this week, at the end Of which time
the fourth leading man of this summer
will be presented.
Notice I say presented. To say intro
duced" would be incorrect for Paul NC
Allister needs no introduction to wash
ington theater-goers, having won an en-
viable popularity in this city four years
ago when he preceded A b. Van Buren
as leading man of the Columbia Players,
in support of Miss Julia Dean during her
last season with the Columbia Company.
Mr.. McAllister has already arrived ~
WASHINGTON for rehearsal Of the role
played with such notable success by E.
H. Sothern in IAN Enemy to the King"
which will be the offering Of the Poll
Players next week.
While this will represent Mr.. McAllis-
ters first appearance with Mr.. Polis
Washington aggregation Of players his
work under the Poll management will
only be continued by his coming here, as
he has been the leading man OF the
Poll Company at Bridgeport, Conn, all
summer, prior to which time he PLAYED
the leading masculine roles with the
stock company at the Prospect Theater
at Harlem. n. Y, for one hundred ana
five weeks, winning the same sort OF
popularity and loyalty which was ac-
corded him by Washington patrons dur
ing his sojourn in this city.

The Weeks Amusements.

Columbia--"A Social HiRhwayman."
The Columbia Players will have par
ticularly tempting menu this week.
where, combined with an excellent dra-
matte offering, they will present some
of the players in the strongest and best
roles in which they have been seen for
many months. Carl Anthony is certain
T. increase the favorable impression he
created last week, when he assumes the
role of Courtice Jaffrey in "A Social
Hishwayman," in which Joseph Hol-
land attained his greatest triumph. The
friends of Stanley James will also hnd
much satisfaction in his having been
given the co-star role of jenkins Handy,
of which L. NJ. Holland made SO much-
Then there will be Helen Holmes as
Eleanor Burnham, Carrie Thatcher as
Sonora Leila Caprices, Frances founee
as the Duchess of Clayborough. Syria
Florence as Mrs. Munyon Pyle, Marie
Drofnah as Mrs. Deane, the fortune tel
ter; Jessie Glendinning as Dora La
Farge, everett Butterfield as Merton
Harley, John NJ. Kline as Livingston
Remsen, Arthur Ritchie as Gordon Key,
Willard Robertson as Carolus Despard,
and John Ellis as George Bartlett.
"A Social Highway" follows closely
the story of Elizabeth Phipps Train
popular novel, from which it was drama
tized by Mary T Stone. Its principal
character is a man who. taking the force
of circumstances as his excuse, has lived
by stealing from the wealthy people in
whose society he finds ready welcome:
How he is redeemed by the kindling OF
a love-spark in his breast and how he
distains to shield himself at the expense
of a friend is all satisfactorily worked
tc a happy conclusion before the curtain
descends upon the last act The play was
first produced at the Garrick Theater,
New York, under the management of
Richard Mansfield, and proved to be the
biggest hit in the careers of the Hollands.

In the name part of Paul Armstrong s
thrilling Western drama, .'Salomy Jane,
Gertrude Bondhill will have her biggest
chance of the season this week.
The play is based upon Bert Harte
breezy romance of the West, and Mr.
Armstrong has succeeded in retaining ali
the atmosphere of the locale, and at the
same time evolving many striking
dramatic situations. The hero Is known
simply as The Man, stranger who has
been condemned to die by a band Of
cattle raisers He has been charged with
the crime of horsestealing. The moose
is about the neck of the man when
some one in the crowd suggests in
spirit of levity that as the stranger has
10 next of friend among them. Salomy
Jane shall kiss him farewell. The joke
is all the more amusing in view OF the
weIl-known haughtiness of Salomy Jane,
who prides herself upon the fact that she
has never kissed any man. But to the
establishment of every one in the crowd
Salomy Jane, driven by sudden i'm
pulse, either of pity or of bravado, ac-
cepts the challenge, comes forward and
kisses the man goodby.
But it Is not goodby. This kiss has
seemed to inspire him with a new de-
sire to live, and he succeeds In escaping
from his captors. He returns to Salony
James house to express his gratitude
for her deed of pity, and at this meet
ing the two young people realize that
love has come to them. This is scene
of rare beauty and poetic romance, one
of the most unusual in the whole his
tory of drama.
But the play is not all seriousness.
There are a number of strikingly anus
ing episodes, and some character studies
of unexampled originality. Chief among
these is old Col. Starbottle, the author
ity on the .-duelling code" who explains
that although the stranger escaped the
moose Of the lynchers, they hung Red
Pete with extrah ceh'mony.'

One of the greatest pleasures in life
is touring; next to thSt is tour with
Lyman H. Howe. 1t is for this reason
that the return engagement of his Travel
Festival at the Columbia Theater next
Sunday evening at Sis o'clock, visualiz-
ing the latest events Of moment and new
scenes of beauty, is cause for felicita-
ton. No other attraction before the
American public has made such tremen-
dous strides as this. None has witnessed
more remarkable broadening in it's
field of usefulness. Its educational value
is enormous. Its scope is unlimited. Es-
pecially is this true since Mr.. Howe has
intensified the realism of his scenes by
presenting most of them in the true
colors, as well as the action Of life and
natural phenomena.

so great that he could not stop. and,
