Polls.

TOO Many Cooks" with its humorous
contrast to the classic tragedy of last
week. afforded another illustration of
the versatility of the Poll Players, who
had just won a very genuine triumph
in their portrayal of responsible roles
in Julius Caesar"
In dramatizing an adage built on
human natures world-old habit of
meddling in the affairs of others, Frank
Craven, author, suits his plot to the
saying by permitting nine members of
the Cook family to do their best-which
means their worst-to spoil the broth
for Alice Cook and her fiancee, who
which they like to call their nest
The Cook contingent insists upon alter
ing plans and specifications. Each one
knows a better way of building a
house. And each way differs from the
others. Pandemonium is helped along
by the lovers uncle. who feels that he
ought to have a say in the building Of
house in which he proposes to live.
Also, there are two friends of the en-
gagged couple who have a few ideas of
their own. The bride-elects father OBJ
jects SO strenuously that he calls a
builders strike. which results in a
broken engagement and a house for
sale
The author is kinder than the prov
erb, however. for when the worried to-
death lover has built the house to suit
himself the heroine proves her right to
the title by declaring against family
intervention and the play comes to it's
happy end. A. H. Van Buren, was pleas
ingly natural as the lover, who raphso-
dies in his anticipation of the future
home: who is harassed by interfering
friends and in-laws, and who finally
jubilates at the mending of his ro-
nance. Florence Rittenhouse, in re-
freshingly simple little frocks, was in
genuously girlish as Alice Cook. and
the entire Cook family, headed by j.
Hammond Daley and Blanche Friderici,
as the parents. were laughable nui-
sances, from the foundation of the
house in the first act. throughout the
setting up of the frame work, in the
second. and its completion in the third.
Ralph Remley was contractor for any
world-outside member of the trade to
joy over, and John NJ. Kline and Ben
Taggart made .the most of their roles
in the portrayals of the hero's uncle
and friend. Marguerite Starr was ex-

Gayety.

The Maids of America" in a two-act
musical production entitled The Girl
From Starland' opened weeks en-
sagement at the Gayety yesterday. The
performance compares favorably with
some of the best offerings at the
Gayety. The principals handle their
roles in a creditable manner. the come
dians succeed in keeping the audience
in laughter throughout the entire
show, and a chorus sings and dances
unusually well.
Don Barclay and Al 4. Hall in the
comedy roles hold up their end of the
entertainment most effectively, and the
singing of Ruth Noble, Mae Mack, Car
rie Cooper and Elsa Bostel adds much
to the success of the show. The Temple
Quartet, composed of Harry Lang,
Arthur Brooks, Charles Weldon and
Joe Ward, sing popular selections. and
Barney Norton and Noble Ruth in the
olio have a variety of songs and dances
that are given in pleasing manner.

home one of WI Fang's men is trying t.
obtain information Of Kennedy and the
lost torpedo. His plan is blocked by Del
Mars arrival, who also succeeds in win
ming Elaine's confidence. Later she is
warned by little old man to be careful.
Del Mars mission at the Dodge house was
to locate and recover the torpedo He
would have been successful had 1t not
been for Elaine's dog Rusty, who dug ii
from the flower pot, while Del Mar and
Elaine were talking only few feet away.

ened up
He had no sooner risen than the
man was at him again His uncon-
seriousness had been merely feigned.
The struggle was renewed.
AT that point, the hedge down the
road parted and Del Mar stepped out.
A glance was enough to tell him what
was going on. He drew his gun and
ran swiftly toward the combatants.
As Del Mar approached, his man
succeeded in knocking the torpedo
from the farmers hand There 1t lay,
several feet away, There seemed to
be no chance for either man to get It..
Quickly the farmer bent his wrist,
aiming the gun deliberately at the
precious torpedo. AS fast as he could
he pulled the trigger Five of the six
shots penetrated the little model
So surprised was his antagonist that
the farmer was able to knock him out
with the butt of his gun. He broke
away and fed, whistling on a police
whistle for the dog just as Del Mar
ran up,
Del Mar stopped and picked up the
model. 1t had been shot into an un-
recognizable mass Of scrap. In a fury,
Del Mar dashed 1t on the ground, ours
ing his men as he did so.
The strange disappearance of the
torpedo model from Elaine's room
worried both of us. Doubtless If Ken
nedy had been there he would have
known just what to do, But we could
not decide.
Really" considered Elaine, IT
think we had better take Mr.. Del Mar
into our confidence.
"Still, we've had great many warn
ings," | objected
Il know that" she persisted, but
they have all come from very unre-
liable sources"
"Very WELL" I agreed finally, then
let's drive over to his bungalow
Elaine ordered her little runabout
and few moments later we climbed
into it and Elaine shot the car away.
AS we rode along, the country
seemed so quiet that no one would
ever have suspected that foreign
agents lurked all about. But it was
Just under such cover that the ne
farious bridge and harbor mining work

going ahead quietly.

Ten he began on the little writing
desk, the dresser and the bureau draw
ers. A subtle smile flashed over his
face as he came to one drawer that
was locked. He pulled a sectional
jimmy from his coat and forced 1t
open.
There lay the precious torpedo.
The man clutched at 1t with look
Of exultation. Without. another glace
at the room he rushed to the window,
seized the rope and pulled himself to
the roof, going as he had come.
1t did not take me long to unpack
the few things had brought and was
soon back again in the living room,
where Aunt Josephine joined me In a
few minutes.
Just as Elaine came hurriedly down
the stairway and started toward me,
Del Mar entered from the porch. She
stopped. Del Mar watched her close
ly. Had she found anything? He was
sure of it.
Her hesitation was only for a mo-
ment, however. walter" she said,
may / speak to you moment? Elk,
cuse us, please?"
Aunt Josephine went out toward the
back of the house to see how the
servants were getting on, while fol-
lowed Elaine upstairs. Del Mar with
a bow seated himself and opened his
magazine. No sooner had we gone,
however, than he laid it down and eau.
tiously followed us.
Elaine was evidently very much ex-
cited as she enterd her dainty little
room and closed the door. Waiter"
she cried, Eve found the torpedo!"
We looked about at the general dis
order Why" she exclaimed merry,

looked at each other, aghast.
Behind us, however, we did not see
the keen and watchful eyes of Del
Mar, opening the door and peering in.
Perhaps half mile down the road,
the farmer abandoned his hayrack
and now, followed by his peculiar dog,
walked back. He stopped at a point
In the road where he could see the
Dodge house in the distance, sat on

f1xedly toward Dodge Hall.
Suddenly his vigilant attention
seemed to be riveted on the house.
He drew field glass from his pocket
and leveled It, Sure enough, there
was a man coming out of a window,
pulling himself up to the roof by a
rope and going across the rooftree.
He lowered the glasses quickly and
climbed off the fence with hitherto
unwonted energy.
Come. Searchlight," he called to the
dog, as together they moved off quick
ly In the direction he had been look
ing.
Del Mars men were coming through
the hedge that surrounded the Dodge
estate just as the farmer and his dog
stepped out in front of them from be-
hind a thicket.
"Just minute" he called. II want
to speak to you"
He enforced his words with a vi
cious looking gun. 1t was two to one
and they closed with him, Before he
could shoot, they had knocked the gun
out of his hand Then they tried to
break away and run.
But the farmer seized one of them
and held him. Meanwhile the dog de-
veloped traits all his own. He ran in
and out between the legs of the other
man until he threw him. There he
stood, over him. The man attempted
to rise. Again the dog threw him and
kept him down. He was trained Bel
gian sheep hound, a splendid police
dog.
"Confound the BRUTE" growled the
man, reaching for his gun.
AS he drew 1t, the dog seized his
wrist and with cry the man dropped
the gun. That, too, was part of the
dogs training.

struggled on the ground. the torpedo
