Polls will be the scene OF comedy
and musical revues introducing all
the old successes with 1918 inno-
vations and possibly several
brand new musical comedies by
well-known authors. There will
be a company of fifty people, the
feminine contingent of which will
be led by Louise Mink, a prima
donna who won her spurs in the
Shubert organization. Miss Mink
was one of the stars in Maid in
America" Other productions in
which she played prima donna
and leading roles were: Anna

Morosco's $50 Long, Lefty" Shu-

tini's "Firefly."
Jack Squires, who has just re-
turned from a London engage
ment in Every Good Eddie" is
one of the principal comedians of
the new organization. Squires
made his debut only about five
years ago, in the isle of Spice"
with such signal success that this
engagement was followed by his
connection with a stock company
at Newark, during which period
he appeared in all the characters
made famous by George M. Co.
han. Later he appeared with
Clifton Crawford in "My Best
Girl and was engaged by Henry
w. Savage for an important role
in Somewhere Else" and the
larger and more successful musi-
cal production, "Sari." Previous
to the arrangement which sent
him abroad, Mr.. Squires made the
cabaret at Maxin's one of New
York's chief restaurant attrac-
tions.
Charles Sinclair, the well-known
musical producer, will make all of
the Poll productions in Washing
ton and will come to this city to-
night accompanied by the entire
organization.

A theatrical Aristocrat.

In the theatrical profession, as
in all others, there must be social
distinctions, and on the stage,
as among any other large
body of people, there must be an
aristocracy. The stage has its

ment into what has come to be
known as the best circles" mar

Comedian
ONCE COAL digger
Harry Lauder Began Career in
Scotland Mines.

Harry Lauder. the famous Scotch
comedian. who will appear at the
Belasco Theater next Friday and Sat-
urday nights and Saturday matinee,
went to work when he was II years
old, down in the coal mines Of Scot
land, first as a pit boy" driving
a Shetland pony and then as q miner,
digging out the coal. He was buried
in the mines for fourteen hours a
day for ten years, earning, at the
end, about IS a week.
Il was in water up to my hips
most of the time" he says, in tell
ing Of his life, swinging a heavy
pick L sang as I worked and my
comrades got to like my singing.
My reputation spread in the little
town where lived and became in
demand for concerts. Ny pay for
this averaged about 50 cents a night. !"
LADDERS songs are all his own. His
favorite is 'I Love q Lassie," which
he has dedicated to Mrs. Lauder.
Several years ago when he was call
ed upon to entertain the late King
Edward, he had to sing this song
over and over again. Half an hour
after performing for royalty he was
back in the music hall singing the
same song for the eosters, who paid
only two pence to hear him.
Lauder first came to America IN
1906. He did not return for two
years after this first tour. but when
he came back. In 1905, his popularity
was just as great.
LADDERS last three tours OF this
country have been almost like royal
progresses" Under the direction of
william Morris. he has travelled by
special train, with a small battalion
Of heralds on ahead to announce his
coming. and usually, on his arrival

N.tIonaI-EtheI Barrymore.

On Monday evening at the National
Theater Ethel Barrymore, for the
first time. will enact the title role in
Dumas The Lady OF the Camellias,' -
more familiar to American playgoers
as Camille" The event takes far
more than ordinary interest, for not
only does Miss Barrymore in this
performance realize an ambition
close TO her heart for several years,
but fulfills a plan laid down for her
by Charles Froham a year or more
before his death. Since its first in
PRODUCTION to this country 9n the ffties
by Matilda Heron, the Dumas classic
has been looked upon as almost a
test OF an actress emotional powers,
and it will be indeed interesting to
observe the Interpretation of Miss
her admirable powers
The version in which Miss Barry
more will be seen is accredited TO
Edward Sheldon. and Is far removed
from the stilted and artificial adapta-
ton long familiar to theater-goers.
The characters of the famous story
make their way through the four
acts costumed in the quaint frocks
and picturesque habiliments Of the
forties. The occasion marks Miss
Barrymore's first appearance in a
costume" play since the revivals OF
the memorable Captain Jinks." and
''Trelawney Of the Wells"
A surrounding cast rather remark
able for its list Of popular and dis
tnguished names will interpret re-
naming roles. They include: Arthur

Mary Worth. Edith Campbell Walker,

Maxwell Ryder, Noel Haddon. Shirley

BeIaseo-Marraret AngIIn.

Margaret Anglin is bringing a new
play to the Belasco this week which,
despite its title of ''Billeted," Is writ
ten in a comic vein and in which
amusing complications are contrast
ed with a well-dehned love interest
The new comedy will be revealed on
Tuesday for an engagement of three
nights and q matinee.
From all accounts Margaret Anglin
seems to have found q successor to
Green Stockings" in 'sBIlleted." 1t
Is the work OF r. Tennyson Jesse, a
niece Of Lord Tennyson, and H. N.
Harkood. q playwright Of note in
England. 1t was first produced at
the Royalty Theater in London a
short time ago. and its immediat,
success leads to the supposition that
It will run through the season.
In "Billeted' Miss Anglin is called
upon to exercise the lighter side of
her art. which will be found as con-
vincing and enjoyable as her flights
In the Greek classic tragedies. Her
new comedy has the merit Of being
not only amusing. but also Of being
written with Wit and Of possessing d
certain degree OF sentimental inter
est.
