POLLS.

by Edward l.. Rose. Is being inter
preted by a clever company of play
ers at Polls Theater this week. Elab-
crate scenic and electrical effects aid
materially in bringing out the plot
of Mr.. Roses latest composition.
The play deals with the efforts pr
the beloved Father Kelly to instill
into the hearts OF unbelievers the
might OF the Unseen Power. Father
Kelly drags his falsely accused
friend. John Marvin. from the shadow
of the scaffold, and restores him to
his grief-stricken wife. who had
grown to doubt the wisdom OF the
fathers teachings.
Maxine Alton. as Roma Marvin. han
dies a very emotional role admirably.
Horace V. Noble, as Father Kelly.
gives commendable portrayal OF
the priest. Herbert Bethew takes the
villain part In good style. Carl G.
Runyan has a dual part as John Mar
vim and his twin brother, which calls
for numerous quick changes In
dress, voice and personality.
Thomas Carey and Nancie Chaplin
are two clever juvenile artists who
furnish a large share of the comedy
with the assistance of Charles Hart
as Patrick Shea, Just over from the
Emerald Isle.
Terese Lorraine, as Father Kelly'S
housekeeper, and l.. T.. Walter. as an
eX-convict, also contribute to the en-
joyment OF the show.

Feel Achy All Over?

To ache all over in damp
weather or after taking cold, is
not natural and should be taken
as a warning that something is
wrong. In many cases it indicates
kidney weakness.
Uric acid is forming in the
body all the time and it is the
duty of we'll kidneys to pass this
acid off safely in a dissolved
state. When the kidneys are
weak and uric acid is too plenti-
ful in the blood, it often causes
queer aches, pains and other
disturbances that may be miSun-
derStood.
Rheumatism is a common
name for such pains, and when
there is also backache, dizziness,
headache, nervousness, and urin-
airy disorders, it's time to SuS-
pect kidney trouble.
