Poli's-"Mflestones."

One of the biggest novelties ever i'm
ported from the English stage to America
will be next weeks offering of the Poll
Players 1t Is "Milestones," an epochal
play from the pens of the two brilliant
dramatists, Edward Knoblauch and Ar
mold Bennett. Their collaboration not
only resulted in play of unusual clever
ness but in a genuine novelty In the
method of unfolding the story. Fifty
years is supposed to elapse between the
first and the last act. and yet the same
players hold the center Of the stage
through the entire drama. appearing In
the first act as young and full Of hope
and ambition, and in the last act accord
ing to their environment and dispositions.
1t is a remarkable study Of characters.
and the story itself is one of intense in
terest.
'Milestones" probably offers greater
test Of a stock company's versatility than
any other play ever offered in Washing
ton. for practically all the principals Of
the cast have to make the transition from
youth to middle age and finally to old
age.
The play will be deliberately staged and
the costumes will be a highly effective
feature. changing from the early VIC
torian era to the present time.
