POLI'S.
sirIte Woman"

THE Woman" one Of David Belasco's
greatest dramatizations. was presented
by the Poll Players last night before
a capacity audience. and the mastery
and finished manner in which the piece
was given added another well-earned
feather to the cap of the company. In
no other play given by them this season
have the members done better work, and
to one who has seen THE Woman" play
ed by the original company their acting
was as near perfect as it is possible to
be.
The play is one which is of interest
alike to both men and women, for II
shows how great a factor in a mans
life a woman can be, and to what ex-
tent a mans past life counts in politics.
II should be a lesson to all of our
psuedo and blossoming young politicians.
for not all of them are blessed with
the strength OF character coupled with
the good fortune that fell to the lot of
Matthew Standish.
The scenes OF the play are laid in
Washington during a session of Con-
gress, where the political machine, led
by Jim Blake, is trying to pass a dis
honest bill that will mean fortunes to
all of them. They are prevented In this
by the well regulated and forceful at
ho1hS dIOil bllcIu leu Dy
Standish, who is recognized among them
as the coming power in Congress. The
unscrupulousness and determination of
the machine to win at any cost is shown
in their effort to unearth past in
Standish's life which will discredit him
with his followers and ruin his career.
So cleverly wrought out are the compli-
cations and counter complications, and
SO intensely gripping the scenes that
one watches the developments and I'M
folding of the plot with GREATNESS in
terest. The tense situations are relieved
by touches of comedy and an adroitly
interviewer love thread, a thing so neces-
sary to the success of plays today.
lzetta Jewel. as Wanda Kelly. the
telephone operator, in whose hands the
key TO the whole situation lies, proves
herself more than a match for the
shrewd and cunning Jim Blake, and her
Interpretation of the role is one of the
best pieces of work she has been seen in
before a local house.
A newcomer, in the person of Mr.
Harold Salter, who took the part of
Matthew Standish, was introduced as
member of the Poll Players, and he
proved himself capable of UNFOLDING the
excellent reputation the other members
of the company have won for themselves
1t is to be hoped that he can remain in
the city so that the people of Washing
ton may have other opportunities of
seeing him.
Edward Mackay, as Tom, son OF Jim
Blake, and in love with Wanda Kelly,
also is very good.
Miss Lolita Linthicum, as The Won
an" gives an intensely dramatic char
acterization, and her work deserves great
credit. Mark Kent, as Jim Blake, the
leader OF the machine, handled the big
role in the clever and finished manner
which always characterizes his work
Dudley Hawley, Frank Shannon, and
others of the cast helped make the per-
Torrance a finished product

GLEN ECHO PARK.
