The Poll Players last night presented
THE Dawn of a Tomorrow" a comedy
drama in four acts by Frances Hodgson
Burnett, with Miss Frances Nelson in the
role of Glad. a part she has played more
than hundred times and which has al
ways fitted her like an old glove Miss
Nelson's admirers seized the opportunity
last night at the end of her most impor-
tant scene in the third act to testify their
appreciation of her work.
William D. Corbett played the role of
Sir Oliver Holt who resolves to commit
suicide after the physicians have given
him but a short while to live but is led
to take a further lease on life by con-
tact with the optimistic philosophy of the
girl Of the slums, Glad" Mr. Corbett

played the part of the butler. Powell, in
the first act. Shared with him the presen-

was especially good and managed the
Cockney dialect with convincing result.
Mr.. Butler played Dandy, the young
thief. about to reform for the sake OF
Glad. and shared the honors with Miss
Nelson in very good love scene Frank
Shannon played Oliver Holt and also did
a finished piece of work as a repulsive
scoundrel
The wholesomeness of 1.-The Dawn of a
Tomorrow. in which Miss Eleanor Rob-
son has been seen so often in Washington
and in which Miss Nelson has played the
part of Glad SO often. makes it a play of

Academy.

Opening with new play, THE Whirl-
pool Thomas e. Shea returned to the
Academy last night for his annual en-
gagement. His reception showed he has
lost none of his popularity. Like in DIR.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde Mr.. Shea is given
ample opportunity for dual acting, as
Daniel Rutherford. the criminal court
Judge, and as Jim Robinson, the diamond
thief, in THE Whirlpool
From the time he first appears he seems
to grip the attention of the audience
and to hold it through the whirlpool of
events which occur with frequence
throughout the play. He releases them in
the last act by dismissing the detectives
and police with a calmness that becomes
almost a shock. Modern detective meth
DDS are brought into the play. There is
a judge whose unconquerable mania
forces him to steal all the diamonds he
sees. As Jim Robinson he gives them
to a girl he loves. The girl is tracked
to her home by detectives who lie in
wait for Robinson. having first planted
dictagraph in the ROOM Robinson tells
the girl how he obtained the diamonds,
and the detectives appear to arrest him
as the thief. but he turns the tables by
informing them that one is murderer
and the other his accomplish, and that
he has the papers to prove it.

vehicle in which Willis 2. Sweatnam APP

the younger generation Mr.. Sweatnam' $

was a pictorial copy of the body servant

serve as a humsrously picturesque back

play--but their elders knew better. Every
