POLES

Good things abound in the program A- Poli's. the last half of the week. the vaudeville bill including melo- drama, comedy. high class acrobatics and Hawaiian songs and dances. And, just for good measure, photoplays of really enjoyable type are offered.
 The melodramatic feature is con- tained in "To Save One Girll," play let by the late Paul Armstrong, who contributed so many successes to the E--,StTuate stage. The story is an in- ~sxesIlng one of love and politics and ssss many tensely dramatic moments * is very capably presented by com- pany of seven.

Sheetz entertain ed delightfully."- with his whistling solos and limitations and their duet at the finish was a work of art.

PLAZA

Mne DoreeNis at the Plaza, having opened her engagement there yester- day afternoon and she has with her eleven golden-voiced soloists and a musical director. It was quite an honor we believe to have such noted impressario as Mime. Doree offering her skillfully chosen company in im- pressions of the greatest operatic ar lists in the world to vaudeville audience and all of us members of yesterdays audiences (we remained in for the second show ourselves) felt very much elated, a fact that we con- veyed to the members of the company by vigorously applauding their efforts until our hands smarted. Each mem Der of the cast was chosen, as was explained by Mime. Doree, for their striking resemblance to the famous star they impersonated in the prOduc- tion and the likenesses were really re- markagle. And that repertoire! We could listen to 1t for hours and still want more. With just the slightest stretch of the imagination ,one could feel himself transplanted to the audi torium of the Metropolitan Opera House will all the famous stars of modern days, including Caruso, Mo- Cormack, Tetrazzlnl, Melba, Homer and many others in grand revue It is really gratifying to find an offering of such supreme merit included in the lists of variety achievements and CIV pray that the management of the Plaza may find it possible and profit able to present productions of such a Character in the future.
 Eggs a one-act comedy in the hands of Helen and Rice, jovial and talented pair of entertainers, was re- ecived with frequent outbursts of en- thusiasm, while Gordon and Kin 'ey, who were recalled by many through their recent connections with John Cort's Flora Bella,'' scored a com plete triumph in their highly artistic dancing diversion. The DeBourg Sis- ters, a pair of French speaking maid ems, presented a series of illusions and novelties that were at once nnystify- tnT and amusing. '"The Little Tank. superb Triangle production in five acts featuring Dorothy Gish, the win some film favorite, and Love Under C"ver% a new Keystone comedy, com pleted the bill.

During the play David Herblin, the leading man. presented Miss Elsie Reh, the archon of the society, with a beautiful basket of flowers.
 As has been the rule for several weeks the house was full and the Lyric players had the pleasure of playing to as enthusiastic an au- dience as ever filled the theater. They liked the play and they liked the players so with everything in ac- cord everyone enjoyed the evening. Miss Frances McGrath was particu- larly we'll received by the fraternal people and she reciprocated by giv- ing the best in her to the part
 Next week she will have a. most delightful role in that old standard, "In Old Kentucky She has played the part Sbefore and promises her admirers a delightful play in every respect. Much in addition to the routine of staging a play has been necessary to make "An Old Ken tucky' possible and all has been conn pleted by Manager Isham.
