AnuSementS
POLES THEATER

What is regarded in theatrical cir l cles as one of the biggest motion pie ture attractions of the current season Is featured at Polls the first three days of the week. The pbotoplay is Threads of Destiny and introduces no less celebrities than Evelyn Nes- bit Thaw and her five year old son, William Russell Thaw, in addition to big company of Lubin players.
 Evelyn Nesbit, as the famous wife or Harry K. Thaw prefers to be known, is really a capable actress. Threads of Destiny is her only mo- 1on picture effort thus far, and through it she has attained 8 pron1t- nent place in that field of amusement. The story is intensely interesting and deals with the vicissitudes of people, driven by persecution from Russia, who seek their fortunes in America. Because of the length of the program, Threads of Destiny will be shown only at 3:30 and 8:3o o'clock.
 Heading the vaudeville program is Miss Josie Heather, the talented Eng fish comedienne, and her own com pany, in happy repertoire of non sense. Miss Heather is recognized as the vaudeville favorite of England and she has met with great success in her American tour. She wears some charming costumes that will be the envy of every woman in the audience.
 Col. Pattee ana his original Old Soldier rFfddlers-entertain who are veterans of the Civil War-are featur- ed as on extra added attraction. This acts so widely initiated, is we'll known here and is bound to meet again with a hearty reception.
 William Wilson and company, will ba seen in the very 1aughabIe skit, Making Good,'' and the Maori Sisters will offer a thrilling aerial act Nanny and Roberts in songs and dances, will complete the vaudeville bill.
 In addition to tsThreads of Destiny, there will be several other first run photoplays of dramatic and comedy subjects.
