POLI'S.

Holiday extravaganza ii the type
which almost every section of the world
but America has demanded and enjoyed
ever since the theater came into being
is the correct definition of Cinderella, as
produced by the Poll Players this week.
Perhaps American producers have failed
TO give this type of entertainment be
cause the very nature of the American
theater makes il necessary for The pro-
Queer to put up his wares in packages
that will be acceptable IN many sec
tons of the country where different
opinions and different customs prevail.
With the resources of such an organi-
zation as the Poll Players 10 craW

that being given this week as stand

a renewed interest in the story OF eternal
friendship which is the basis of the play.
This film is the first classic drama that
has ever been made in this country, and
was q big undertaking. The story of the
play is familiar to almost everyone. The
friendship that existed between Damon
and Pythias has served as the basis for
hundreds of stories and is recognized
as ore of the greatest bits of poetic
seyli-fiction in the word. In the pro
dUCtior of such a play in film form the
producing company was called upon 10
overcome man difficulties. Where in
Europe appropriate settings would not
