Lew Fields and Marcus Loews produc-
ton, The Pleasure Seekers which ran
at the Winter Garden for five months,
comes to the Belasco Theater for a
weeks stay, commencing tomorrow
night, with matinees Wednesday, Friday
and Saturday. The cast of 1.-THE Pleasure
Seekers Is an unusually notable one of
funmakers, containing the entire organi-
cation so well remembered with "Hanky
Panky." which was seen here for two en-
gagements. It includes Max Hodges,
Bobby North. Harry Cooper, Clay Smith,
Vera Michelena. Virginia Evans, Myrtle
Gilbert. Flo May. Sally Daily and Mont
gomery and Moore. The company con-
tains 157 people, with beauty chorus
which is seen in novel and dashing cos
tunes. There are six very large scenes
in all.
The story Of the play tells Of two drum
merx who take two customers on a trir
around the world. They visit all the
important show places, have ludcrous
adventures in each. and finally become
stranded in Paris. Max Rogers imper-
sonates an unsophisticated German, Bob
by North and Harry Cooper two sales
men. Vera Michelena a dashing modiste
and Montgomery and Moore spendthrift
son and an heiress from Tombstone, Ariz.
respectively. The SNOWFALL episode Is one
of the merriest and jolliest scenes on the
stage.

POLLS

"Kindling," a play that tells the story
of a mothers crime prompted by mater
nal instinct will be revived tomorrow
night by the Poll Players.
The story of the play has its climax
when detectives employed to unravel tho
mystery of a stolen diamond brooch trace
the theft to Maggie Schultz. who lives
with her husband, stevedore. in a squal-
i'd tenement. When the representatives
of the law fasten the crime upon her
and compel her to produce a number Of
other trinkets she has purloined from a
home in which she worked, Maggie adj
mits her guilt, but makes a passionate
maternal defense Of her misdeeds. The
unhappy woman declares she was justi-
fed in stealing from the rich to give her
baby its chance" The play is remark
able for its acting opportunities. The role
of the wife will be assumed by Miss Nell
son. That of Heinrich Schultz, the hus-
band, will be interpreted by Richard Buh-
Ter. Eight other roles. all important In
the telling of the story, will be intrusted
to Dudley Hawley. Frank Shannon. STAN
ley James. William D. Corbett. Cecil
Bowser. Miss Gertrude Bondhill. Miss
Helen Tracy. Miss Louise Kent and Miss
Hazel May.
The Poll management has obtained the
original production used by Miss Hing

we didn't demonstrate with our tor
mentors, but experience has taught me
that that is a fatal blunder. We tried 1t
once at another theater, but also In the
balcony. The play was DiSraeli.' This
time we sat in the second row, in excel
lent seats which we were thoroughly en-
joytng until two young men arrived who
evidently considered the theater an ex-
cellent place for after-dnner conversa-
ton A very courteous request for quiet
from my husband who had supposed
them to be merely thoughtless, served
only to make them deliberately annoy
ing, and an appeal to the usher awaited
as little.
Now isn't that outrageous? I remove
my hat in the theater. though you know
it is an awful nuisance; the floor doesn't
seem quite safe place for 1t, and l have
| to clutch it madly. together with my coat
and furs. my purse and my opera glasses
when these restless. young men work their
way out between acts. Still, remove it
Willingly l could not enjoy feeling that
some one was cursing behind my back.
don't even wait for the last bars Of the
overture before I take 1t off, nor do
begin to pin it on again before the last
curtain. But if had worn my hat dur
ing the play, an usher would promptly
remove it. Why, then, should he not have
ordered these men to refrain from con-
versation? Is it more important to see
a play than to hear it? De we go! to
the theater to enjoy panton11me? Why.
then. this distinction? Why should not I
be protected from my noisy and dis
courteous neighbors as well as they from
my hat?
Let me assure you in passing Mrs.
