POLrS.

When We Were Twenty-One' was
selected by the Poll Players for produc-
lion this week because it has been
played more times to more audiences
than any other play Of the kind that
has been written. And the proof of the
wisdom OF the selection was demon
strated in the applause which greeted
the play and players at yesterdays per-
formances. The story Of the four men
who attempt to guide the life OF a
youngster is set forth by the stock COM
pany in a way that is appealing and
highly amusing. The complications that
deevIop when the younGster shows a
very keen desire to look after his own
affairs without consulting his guardians
are well set forth.
While the play was originally pro-
duced to fit the starring ability of Nat
4. Goodwin and Maxine Elliot, its pro-
duction by a stock company showed

ally played by Miss Elliot, gave fur

Morgan. Mr.. Fillmore's work was of a
more serious character than he has
been given for some time and he com
pi"Jely dominated the character. Miss
Kent WAS on the stage but a few
minutes, but her distinctive creation of
the wicked musical hall artist was a
gem.

basis on which are laid the charges
of plot against the crippled girl

BREAD PRICES
NOT TO JUMP

Smaller loaves of bread or in
creased prices are improbable,
say Washington bakers.
The situation appears to be de-
pendent entirely upon the
length of the European con-
flict. There has been no in
crease in the price of flour
for ten days, and if this con-
tinues the bakers will con-
tine along the present lines.
Should the war so affect the
cost of material that fair
profits will be destroyed, it
is expected the bakers will
individually cut the loaf or
add to the cost. But at pres
ent they say there is no cause
for worry.
