Polls.


A Butterfly on the Wheel" the play in
which the Poll Players this week are
displaying their versatility and the well
balanced ability OF the company. is per-
haps one Of the smoothest yet Of their
productions. Having been seen earlier
this season. at another theater in Wash
ington and by a road company of more
than average ability. this weeks poduc-
ton does not suffer by comparison. In
deed. to some the characterization of
Peggy Admission, by Miss Jewell, is more
artistically pleasing than that of the
earlier production.
The story Of the play-which was writ
ten by Edward G. Hemmerde, X. c., and
FRANCIS Nelson. NJ. p, as an exposition
they were amended a few years ago-is
familiar to Washington theatergoers. Mrs.
Admission. frivolous. Eighty, as a human
Dutterny Is expected to be. although
orable George Admission, NJ p. is still
not averse to listening to the lovemaking
OF other men. SO long as it is innocently
f1irtatious.
AS a consequence. she is trapped by
Lady Attwill-Lotta Lnthicum-and Rod
erick Collingwood-Frank Shannon-into
compromising situation in a Paris hotel,
and her husband-played by Thurlow Ber-
gen-brings suit for divorce.
The trial sees 1.-THE butterfly on the
wheel its pretty wings broken, as Sir
Robert Fyffe. X. c.. NJ. P-Mark Kent
leading counsel for the supposedly in
jured husband. uses the brutal methods
or court procedure as it used to be to
make case against her. The denoue-
ment, In which Lady Attwill is compelled
to tell her share in the conspiracy. and
the subsequent reconciliation of husband
and wife, serves to take the taste of tears
out of the mouths of the audience
Thomas F. Williams as Sir John Bur-
roughs, president of the divorce court
n. Dudley Hawley as Lord Ellerdine;
Graham Nelsey as Gerva.se Macarthur,
leading counsel for Peggy Admaston-in
short, every member of the cast has a
role that fits; and after one has survived
the somewhat prolix first act-which is
more of prologue than anything else.
one loses sight of time, and surrenders
to the grip of play that is undenia bly,
fascinating. even if as undeniably I'M
pleasant in places. AS a whole, the pro-
auction is one that the Poll Players have
not eXcelled this season
