BIG WELCOME FOR
FRANCES NELSON
Poll Audience Given Treat by
Return of Former FaVorite
in Musical Comedy.

Miss Frances Nelson was given a
royal welcome by the audience at Poll s
last night on her return to Washing
ton in the leading role in "FNorty-five
Minutes From Broadway" and her
work was amply worthy Of the warmth
of the greeting which she received. Her
style of acting is of an entirely differ
ent variety from any which the Poll
audiences have seen recently and while
the other styles were popular, the
change nevertheless is a delightful one.
AS the Mary. of 80 Long, Mary''
fame. whom everyone hated TO see go.
she sang and talked her way right into
the hearts OF the audience, while she
was supposed to be captivating the
former prize fighter, and later sec
tary'' to a new millionaire.
Buhler had several surprises for the
audience. in the first place he is a
singer of comic songs, and, while not
exactly a buck dancer. he has several
attractive little steps and poses which
neIp. He displays an ability to handle
comedy roles which following so much
serious work was really surprising.
Miss Helen Tracy, as the inconsolable
Mrs. Purdy, is particularly funny in
the drunken scene, not minding a little
thing like plunge forward half across
the stage when she sees tW ooutstretched
hands instead Of one and winds up on
her hands and knees.
Another surprise produced by the
lapsins into musical comedy of the Poll
Players is Cecil BuTser as u Dan DAILY
type of singer. He got off an original
number entitled It's An the Way You
Do It." which was done very we'll in
deed. One verse commented on the
acting of his co-worlICrs and only lack
ed some comment about himself.
One perfectly plain fact is an other
wise perfect production even to scenic
effects which Included a rapidly passing
train seen through window, is that
few ElaywrighjS have ever seen many
reporters. The foUI who represented
important New York dailies last night
were the usual stage type, with copious
notebooks and uvcrworked pencils
that are never seen except behind the
fOOtlightS.
