The return of the Poll PLAYERS la st
night to the theater whose name they
bear was in the nature of a beginning of
an odd home week. The play which
was chosen to inaugurate the "spring
stock season. THE Man From Home"
was highly suitable. filled as it is with
ideaiized American neighborliness in con-
tfast to the false call of that particular
fashionable life abroad which has title
worship and money-getting for its object.
The comedy. which has been seen sew

scented. Mark Kent. who was with the
road production as Ivanoff. is again cast
for this role. thus giving the present per-
