PRINCE FLORO is
BIGFEATURE ON
POLLS PROGRAM

Eight acts of a most distinctive type
and of greater diversity, if possible,
than has characterized previous bills
at Polls theatre de luxe, are on the
program for the forthcoming week. If
standard names and absolutely quail
length and breadth of the land, stand
for anything, then, the, week to come
at the beautiful theatre should be
termed headline week, for of the
eight acts, at least six are actual head
liners, while the other two are prom
inent features on any bill and recog-
nized as added attractions.
DuCa1ion, known as the chattering
Englishman on the lettering ladder,
presents an offering, at once startling
and entertaining. Perched high in the
air, balancing himself upon a "ner-
vous" ladder, this quaint Brittisher, a
favorite in the music halls of Europe,
delights with his original quips and at
the same time, startles his auditors
with his hair raising equilibristfc
stunts.
Billy ''swede' Hall, who does not
know him Well. Billy comes to Polls
next week, in an all new comedy Of
fering, Made Good, and in his sup
porting company are Jennie Colburn
and Horace West. MADE Good is
promari1y a laugh-making vehicle,
with the scene laid in western town
where temperance is the all absorbing
topic.
They Frey Twins. two perfectly
formed men, said to be as true spec
linens of manhood as ever graced the
stage, will offer their Romanesque
sports and arts, consisting of poses
and a display of expert wrestling. The
latter, a remarkable feature, in that
it is said to be a faithful portrayal of
the championship grapp1es and holds.
Who does not remember "Peter?''
TI,0 fa5
created by Peter, the clever Chin
panzee? Peter is a student of man,
and Prince Floro, blood coursing of
Peter and considerably more accom-
plished, is the big feature on next
weeks Poll program. Prince Flore
acclaimed as the most advanced of all
Sinian actors and the nearest possible |
approach to being human of all tta1-
most Humans will cause those who
enjoy this type of entertainment to
forget all other Man-Monkeys. Prince |
FIoro has mastered man made rules
of etiquette, mans style of diversion, |
mans desire for relaxation and mans |
daily routine, to such an extent that |
it is positively CHASTITY to see the i'm |
mense Chimpanzee going through his |
forty minute exhibition of how close a |
monkey can come to being a human |
being.
Hilda Hawthorne, the blue ribbon |
lady ventriIoquist, is not only blessed
with peculiar ventriloquia1 powers, but
boasts a singing voice of unusual cal
ibre and volume.
Sam Davis and Laura Walker, duslxy |
entertainers, in a most novel presen-
tation, "a Lesson in Dancing will
add twenty minutes of pure pleasure
to the program.
Fixing the Furnace Billy Burke's
rip roaring laugh creating comedy
playlet, with George ROLAND and
company, is the real mirthmaker of
the big program. AS the title sug-
gests, there are many comedy oppor-
tunities and Mr.. ROLAND and his as
sociates allow none of them to es-
cape.
Wilbur Mack and Ne1la Walker, the
''Norworth and Bayes'' of vaudeville,
in their original offering, +'The New
Filtration" refined and refreshing,
have earned the title of t'The Sweet
est act in Variety and their contin-
ual triumphs, both abroad and at
home, shows only too well how much
they deserve this soubriquet.
Wednesday afternoon. imna ediately
after the performance, Prince FIoro
will hold reception and tea party
for the little ones on the stage of the
theatre.
Monday, being st. Patrick's day,
green carnations will be given each
lady visitor.
