Polls.

Charles Frederick Nirdlinger's play,
The World and His Wife, which was
produced originally in this country by
William Faversham. will be revived
next week by the Poll Players. The
play tells a story of jealousy and in
trigue in the ciSurt of Madrid, the power
Of gossip furnishing the theme. As its
itle suggests, The World and His
Wife" delight in nothing so much as
talking of scandal. and the burden of
he message is that unfounded suspi-
cions may in time breed their own jus
uhcations. The action involves the in
cvitable triangle of a husband, wife,
md one other. The novelty Of the drama
lies in the fact that the author makes
the other" a charming and poetic
Youth, who adores the wife, but is guilt
less of actual offense. This womsn's
soul Is as pure as the sunbeams; nv
heart Is as clear as the skies" he cries
IN the eloquent utterance with which
the play closes. Richard Buhler. and
Miss Frances Nelson will be seen in
he roles originally created by William
