Douglass Bedell, of the Orpheum
Theatre, has received a very f1atter-
ing offer to return to his old post as
juvenile man of the Poll Players at
Hartford, which he Is seriously con-
s1dering, but owing to domestic af-
fairs of a serious nature may be uT1-
able to leave Newark at this time
Mr.. Bedell formerly played with the
Poll Players for an entire season and
became a great local favorite in Hart
ford, where his circle of friends Is still
large and desirous of his return, and
their requests for his re-engagemcnt
have made his invitation to return
all the stronger from the manage
ment.
