successful attractions yet offered by
the Poll players iyslt
Although the Offering is a plain
spoken drama of sex, dealing frankly

both the author, Charles Sumner, and
the Poll players has combined to elm
mate all unpleasantness, and to give q
cignified and sensible discussion In the
form Of a really beautiful love story.
Daily matinees are given.
On Sunday night, in addition to a
musical concert by the ladies, orches-
ira under the direction of Miss Wolfe,
