LITTLE MINISTER"
THE BILL At POLLS

The Little Minister which has been
selected as this weeks offering at Poll s
Theater. ranks as the most popular play
contributed to the English or American
theater by J. NJ Barrie. II was pro-
duced for the first time on any stage at
the Lafayette Square Theater, in Wash
inston, sixteen years ago, and made
Maude Adams star in, night. II is
the first OF the Barrie stories dealing
with the little town Of Thrums, and it
tells a fascinating narrative OF the first
meeting between Lady Babbie, daughter
Cf the Lord of Rintoul Castle, and
Gavin Dishart, the young minister OF
the Aul LIGHT Kirk in Thrums. The
play begins in Caddam Wood, where
Babbie, disguised as a gypsy girl, en-
counters the austere young clergyman.
As an eSpedient to get past a line OF
soldiers, she persuades the young clergy
man TO tell Captain HalliweIl, the Eng
lish commanding officer, that the girl is
his wife. This statement in the pres
ence OF witnesses, under the Scottish
laws, constitutes a legal marriage-a
fact that is not discovered until, at the
end Of a charming romance, the young
minister calls to pay his respects at
Rintoul Castle, and Babbie makes
known to him the fact that she loves
him.
The character Of Babbie, originally
created by Maude Adams, will give Miss
Nelson the most appealing role she has
had since she became the leading wom-
an Of the Poll Players. A role of equal
Importance, that Of the little minister,
will be played by Richard Buhler. This
character was created in the original
production by Robert EdeSon. other
important roles will be played tomorrow
night bv William d. Corbett. John NJ
Nline, Dudley Hawley, Frank shannon.
Stanley James, Cecil BowseT. Russell
Fillmore. Gertrude Bondhill, Helen
Tracy, Louise Kent, and Hazel May.
