This hardship to actor and director will be overcome, for Manager Po1i, realizing the necessity of faith full productions, will assist his direc- tor here by using moving picture films of the plays to be produced by the stock company, and thus acquaint the members of the company with the par ticular styles used in the original play.
 As Is well known, moving pictures have been made of all tEre important successes, within the past two years. Manager Poli has secured the films of the pieces he expects to produce here, and each morning, before rehearsa1s, the film of the act to be reIlearsed will be shown the mem bers of the company, and in that way they pr:ac- ticaIly see the original production and can profit therefrom.
 The film for Get Rich Quick Wal lingford'', the George M Conan com edy, with which the PoH Players will open their season, arrived here today and will be shown the members of the stock players tomorrow morning at the Plaza. The first act will be used, after which a rehearsal will be held.
