A large audience alternated between

"The Heir to the Hoorah.'' at Polls last
night. Most Of the laughter was aroused
over different fits and misfits in dress

of the most pleasing offerings the Poll
Players have given this season. The in
termissions were rather long, but there
was not dull moment while the curtain
was up.
The complications in the play are caused
by the fact that Joe Lacy. part owner OF
the HoOrah mine, has married the daugh-
ter of Mrs. H. J. L. Kent, poor but de-
cidedly eastern and proud aristocrat. The
daughter is inclined to be human, but Is
much under the control of her mother, to
whom Joe's slang and western ways are
a constant source of annoyance. Mother
in-law makes things worse by living with
daughter and Son-in-law.
Livingston Winthrop, from the east. and
H. Van Rensseler Kelly, formerly wealthy,
but now Lacy's foreman, serve con-
stantly to remind everybody of Lacy's
shortcomings Then there are Dave

partner. with some other westerners who
prefer shooting to wearing a dress suit.

all try to squeeze into ill-fitting open

No attempt is made to point moral or

After formal trial he is condemned to

Adelaide Fancourt declares Burke has a

The position she holds on the American
stage and the facility she has gained in

q wonderful exotic. Her methods depend

Whatever she does is polished down to
the finest degree. Every instant OF her
work is a study. She Is one of the few
actresses who seem to know through
every moment Of q performance the pre-

the ear and the mind. She exhaustS the
possibilities Of superficial detail, and then
with unhesitating ease takes the crucial
step still beyond and renders technique

az peal from being failures. Where, as in
the case of Bella Donna" she has.
play with thrill of vital interest, she
appeals with irresistible completeness.
There are certain characters that are
best played by an exotic. The title role
of this play, which j. B. Pagan adapted
from Mr.. Hichens' novel, is something
far apart from the love Of fresh air and
candid communication which tradition as
sociates with the Anglo-Saxon type. Al
though the characters of the play hail
from London, an Egyptian languor domi-
mates them morally as well as physically.
The story is a melodrama, with people
the figures in the plot. It is a thriller, re-
fined and intensified, after the manner of
Ouida. A woman of notorious badness is
systematically dosing her husband with
sugar of lead when his old friend ply
sician, appears on the scene, and after
sharp and shrewd war of wits succeeds

pudiation by her Mohammedan lover be-
cause she disobeyed in failing to keep
their secret. and her departure into the
night after the door of her home has been
closed in her face.

Donna, as Nazimova plays it, suggests

the play she Is a creature of sinuous
grace. Even when she hOrrifies she exer-
cises reptilian fascination.
The company appearing with NazimOva
clan, one Of peculiar dignity and interest,
is admirably played by Charles Bryant.
Baroudi, the lover, who instigates the
poisoning. is forcefully portrayed by
Robert Whitworth. Edward Fielding, as
the doctor who Is forced out of the case,
assists finely in carrying through one Of
the most important scenes OF the play.

husband. gives q thoroughly competent

DOGS ANCESTRY A PUZZLE
How the Present Favorite of Man
Really Has Descended.

NaturaliSts and the world at large
seem to generally accept the theory
that the domestic dog is, in some
sense. a collateral descendant OF the
wolf or jackal, says Harper's Weekly
A professor in the Natural History
museum OF Paris has communicated
results of his study OF various canine
skulls to the Academy OF Sciences.
He appears to have noticed certain
peculiarities of growth which have
hitherto escaped biologists.
He states that the skull OF almost
every species of wolf and jacket diners
from the skull of the shepherd dog to
an extent that makes il impossible
that this dog should belong in the
same classification. The skull of the
Indian wolf, on the contrary, shows
some points of resemblance. This, III
deed, is the only savage canine the
top of whose head projects like that
Of our dog.
There are, moreover, other charac-
teristics which the Indian wolf has in
common with the dog, and which the
ordinary wolf does not share with
them. although his origin and that OF
the dog have long been supposed to be
a common one.
The conclusion of this scientist is
that the Indian wolf is the progenitor
of the shepherd dog and the BLOOD

CLING TO CHARMEUSE

Fact That II Is Suitable for Many DC
easions Makes the Heavier Weight
the Best Material That Can
Be Employed,

Ia spite Of the fact that figured ma
terlals are considered of first impor-
lance this year, a great deal will be
done with the plain satins and wor-
steds, especially in the way of combin-
ing embroideries with them; although
at the same time the material will con-
tinue to figure prominently in the trim
ming scheme just as it has for the two
seasons past, writes Lillian Young. in
the Washington Star.
For prevailing modes charmeuse is
probably the most satisfactory fabric
to use and also the most popular. 1t
has taken such a hold upon the fash
ion world that it is likely to remain a
favorite, season in and out. There are
different weights, but the heavier are
best, having sufficient body to produce
the desired clinging effect, yet not too
much for graceful drapery, and it is
suitable for variety of different occa-
siops
In the pleasing design sketched to-
day dull blue charmeuse is employed
and other than the narrow stuffed en-

rangement of draperies make it any

and into the library, his own thoughts
did not weigh SO heavily upon him as
TO prevent him from satisfying his
curiosity by gazing about him. 1t

The invitation had been extended
many times, but Kerr knew his social
limitations and had always refused.
The Judge pushed forward a big
leather chair and into ii Kerr dropped

i'stlessly on the arms of his chair, the
bosom OF his shirt was rumpled and

breath came heavy and fast, and he
