Poli's- Vernon of Had
don Hail."

AS a pleasant variation from the
numerous modern comedies which have
been presented by the Poll Players
during the present season. the Avenue
company will offer one of the biggest
romantic comedy successes of the
stage-"Dorothy Vernon of Haddon
Hall'-next week. This charming
play, with scenes laid in the Eliza
bethan era. has all the glamor of that
poetic and chivalric period. The
heroine is a young English girl, the
daughter of a nobleman. who has
been taught to believe that her hus-
band has been selected for her since
her birth and that he is her cousin,
whom she has not seen since child
hood, but who, at the beginning of the
play. is hourly expected at Haddon
Hall to claim his bride. There ar
rives about this time Sir John Man
ners, a knightly young soldier. who is
on a secret mission of state. 1t Is
essential that his identity should be
concealed. so when he is mistaken at
Haddon Hall for the expected BRIDE
groom-to-be he accepts the mistake
as a most fortuitous circumstance and
he does not realize the serious COM
plications of such an imposture until
he is already desperately in love with
the adorable Dorothy Vernon. Then
it is too late to turn back. for Sir
Johns first duty is to his sovereign.
Queen Mary Of Scotland. Finally, the
real bridegroom arrives and the ex-
posture is made. Sir Johns life Is in
danger and the outraged Dorothy at
first is willing to sec him sacrificed
but eventually love triumphs over
pride.
This will be the first time that Miss
Gilbert and Mr.. Relieves have had an
opportunity to appear in romantic
comedy in Washington.
