THE Man Who Stood STILL" Louis
Mann's stage success of several sea-
sons ago, in the form of a photoplay,
was shown at Crandalrs yesterday. and
is being repeated at today's perform
ances. Simplicity of the plot and
characterizations to a great degree con-
stitute the innate charm of the drama.
The story is that of an old German
proprietor of a small jewelry store in
the East Side of New York, who is sat
istified to plod along at his usual rate
of speed and accumulate more friends
than dollars. His whole existence is
devoted to the -upbringing of his moth
erless daughter, Marie, who is beloved
by the son of his best friend. The old
man looks forward to the union of the
two, but the girl listens to the promises
of young MACPHERSON, son of business
rival of her fathers, with sad results.
She finally returns to her father, who.
almost broken hearted. forgives her,
and she starts life anew. Lew Fields
presents a telling characterization as
the old jeweler Doris Kenyon. as the
daughter, lends the charm of beauty
and her skill as an emotional actress
to excellent advantage.

VIRGINIA INVADED TODAY
BY WASHINGTON GUNNERS

Scores of Washington sportsmen. &C
companied by their dogs, have gone to
Virginia to take advantage OF the
opening day of the cunning season. No
vember 1. and tomorrow morning at
daybreak they will be following their
dogs in pursuit of rabbits. quail, tur-
keys and other game that is in season.
1t is regretted by gunners that the
weather is so warm, such weather
making it difficult for the dogs to run
and making it impossible to keep game
any length of time.
The season for quail, grouse, wild
turkeys. squirrels and rabbits in the
District opens tomorrow. Gunners are
permitted to shoot ducks in the Dis
trict, but only possession Of the other
varieties of game from the states is
permitted, it being a violation of law
to shoot quail and rabbits.
Lieut.. Dean and other members OF
the harbor police squad will patrol the
river tomorrow to see that duck hunt
ers do not violate the law. 1t Is said
a number of ducks have been seen on
the river during the last two weeks.

Polls.

Many people who have cherished a
traditional prejudice in favor of the
legitimate drama have. nevertheless,
entertained secret ambitions to see
'burlesque show" before they die. This
week they may satisfy their craving
at Polls, where Keep Moving never
stops. During the two acts large as
sortment of stock situations and char
acters abounding on the regular bur-
lesque stage are presented. Two come
diars are the main funmakers in two
acts provided with just enough plot to
carry, while drinking scenes, man
with a revolver, a Pfnkerton de
tectuf," songs and dances, and large
and lively chorus. which plays its part
with proper understanding, supply
everything needed for the real thing.
Fox and Stewart, as Plonsky and
P1ncus. the two comedians, who claim
jockey, are entirely adequate. while the
supporting cast fulfills every require
ment. Especially pleasing was Ruth
Terry in the brisk ingenue role of
Grace Honey. Alma Fleming appeared
as Name, and Charles Raymond as Bill
Welch, the villain" The two bur
lettas which provide the two scenes of
the play have largely to do with rae
ing, perhaps a bit overdone to the
tastes of many who might not be IA
mIliar with burlesque methods. To the
more serious minded there are several
bits of dialogue in the play which seem
to add nothing to the merit of the
piece.
