 Following close upon the heels of SIX, never before Metropolitan successes, '-The Poli Players at the Plaza Theatre will set another record of faithfulness to the public, when, on Monday next, through special ar- engagements with the estate of Henry B. Harris they will present, for the first time in stock, Edgar Se1wyn s brilliant play of a country boys ex- periences in a great city, and which enjoyed a years run at the Harris Theatre, New York, entitled, The Country Boy"
 This will be the initial performance of the great romantic play, by any company, other than the two organi-7 zations which played it under the mana gemen of Henry B. Harris and lc is with no little assurance that we announce that we look forward to as good a portrayal of the great play. as that which characterized the piece during it's New York engagement
 '-The Country Boy is so human. so simple, and so logical that it must be -Iassed as among the truest and most Interesting dramas of the past decade.
 The Country Boy of the play is just what the reader may have been. He has the same extrava gant notions of doing the -'big things of life His fife in the country, the pettiness of II, the smallness of it's enterprises and the narrowness of it's views, all 1saIl upon him. He hungers for for life. for ''big things not realizing shat big things come from within and not from without. His sweetheart .tells him that he should try the cru r1hle Of experienee In that melting Lot will his character be tried-and formed
 He goes to the city-the city with irs lights. it's glittering Broadway, .ts rfr1e -.1r,,-s 2 n week and an automobile; the city of whirling cabs. and gay cafes. There he Is determined to do big things. There he will meet big people and do the great things of life There will he carve out that glowing, wonderful future of which every country boy dreams.
 The country with it's simplicity, is eft behind. The boarding house, somewhere in the vicinity of Broad way. takes him to it's broad, flat bo- som There he finds the stout land lady the bane of whose life is the gas bill. There he comes in with the star boarder who gets the best of ev- erything And in return takes the landlady to the theatre now and then. He has to put up with tn e grurn bling married couple and the grouchy news paper man, who is down on his luck There he meets the girl of uncerta n age who sings and plays until far into the night, and finally he is thrown into the constant com pany with his evil genius, the chorus girl who wears fine clothes and who has the face of an angel and. a. soul that is sordid.
 This Is the crucible Of experience in to which he is plunged and yvhichAre- suits in three acts of the most sensa- tional complications, tangles and sit nations ever imagined by play wright
 Paul McAT1ister will be the Country Boy. Anyone who saw him in s'The Man From Home can well imagine what he will do with a similar part
