The New Way to Rest.

In the July Woman's Home Compan.
ion Margaretta Tuttle begins a new Sc
rial story of romantic adventure, en-
titled "The Runaway Rest Cure" In
the first installment Nancy Hamelton, a
tired-out artist. has talk with Brian
Gardner, her physician. who prescribes
a new kind Of tonic. He says that the
great problem Of all workers is TO find
strength and that the way to find it is
by resting as systematically as possible.
BY resting he does not mean idling. On
this point he says in part;
I'VE no longer send your kind-men or
women-to bed TO rest. We send them
to new places, so they'll use new facul-
ties and rest the old ones. ANY new
place, another town. a boarding house
with foreigners in it'll sent a woman
worn out with nursing ON a shopping
trip yesterday"

THE CURRENT WEEK.
Polfs-"The Rinsmaster.-

Olive Porter's drama of modern Amer
ican life, THE Ringmaster." will be the
initial offering of the Poll Players tonor-
row night. This play has been happily
chosen to inaugurate the new season al
the Avenue theater stock house and to
signalize the return of A. H. Van Buren.
Mr.. Van Buren created the title role IN
this drama when it had its first perform
ance several years ago, at which time
Laurette Taylor, now famous as Ped o
Ny Heart. played the leading feminine
role.
When THE Ringmaster" was pro-
duced in New York Mr. Van Buren was
called upon to assume his old role, after
Arthur Byron had retired from the cast.
The Poll manager has surrounded Mr..
Van Buren with an exceptionally strong
cast. Florence Rittenhouse, the new
leading woman, is a stranger to Capital
playgoers. but from all accounts she will
soon endear herself to stock patrons.
Mark Kent. the best character actor
who has ever appeared at Polls, rejoins
the company after an absence of several
years, and Russell Fillmore, the promis-
ing young juvenile, also returns.
In the cast are Blanche Friderica,
Raymond Walburn. Peggie Cameron,
Cecil Bowser. Louis Marshall, ]. Ham,
mond Daley, and others.
