Polls.

William Myer Forster's fiVe-act CONF
edy. 'Old Heidelberg this weeks at
traction at Polls Theater, is a strictly
neutral play, because it was written
long before Germany got in the war.
but there was nothing neutral about
the enthusiasm which greeted yester-
days initial performances. AS re-
vival production it promises to be a
particularly happy choice, and in point
of scenic equipment and effective stage
direction one of the best plays pre-
scented by the Poll company this season
Washington theatergoers are familiar
with the story of ''Old Heidelberg
through it's frequent presentation mere
by Richard Mansfield. The play is made
use of by the Poll company in such
manner as to impressively bring out
the versatile talent of its members, ana
especially does it enable A. H. Van
Buren,. in the portrayal of Prince Karl.
the principal character in the play, to
add to his reputation as a capable eN-
ponent of romance.
Prince Karl. AS the heir presumptive
of Saxon harrisburg. spends one brief
moment of real life a student at
Heidelberg. during which he meets and
falls in love with the daughter of an
innkeeper. He is afterward called back
to the intrigue of narrow court circle
and a marriage of politics and conven-
ince, but the memory of his freedom
and happiness beyond the castle walls
does not faue. Inc StOTy IS Noiu W lth
