PoIi'.-"The Littlest Rebel,


Edward Peple's appealing romance of
civil war days in Virginia, The Littlest
Rebel" will be revived this week by the
Poll Players. Because of the fact that
the central figure Of the story, Virgie
Carey, "the littlest rebel is a tiny, bare
footed Virginia girl. II Is obviously neces-
sary to have a specially engaged actress
for this role. Consequently the Poll man
Rgement has engaged for one week Grace
Stanley, the talented child actress who
played the role in the number one COM
pany. Miss Stanley was seen here in the
character when the play was presented
In Washington for the first time two
Years ago. The Littlest Rebel is one of
the most realistic war dramas ever
staged. Although its heroine and many
OF its important characters are Virginians,
the play may be described as non-par-
tisan. And one of the most lovable fig
ures in the story Is lieutenant colonel in
the Northern cavalry, who risks his life
and his honor to save "the littlest rebel"
from a perilous position between the
Northern and Southern lines. and pro-
tect her father from the death Of a spy.
The play will give members of the Poll
east particularly effective roles Five of
the characters in the story are Of para
mount importance. One of the most in
teresting of them. OF course. is that of
Virgie Carey, the littlest rebel" which
will be interpreted by Grace Stanley.
Richard Butler will be seen in the .'ole
Of H.ieut. Col Morrison, Z. S. A., the
