LOVES DOUBT THEME
OF DRAMA AT POLPS
Which One Shall ! Marry1" Solves
Girls Perplexity.

Which One Shall I Marry?"-a ques-
ton which. If incorrectly answered. will
bring much unhappiness is delightfully."-
solved in a three-act drama of this title
which gave Its first showing at Polls
Theater last evening.
A girl contemplates marriage She has
to decide between wealth and love. A
man of money offers his hand. but the
girl hesitates fearing that while she
would be possessed of everything that
money can buy she might not have love
in such union. A man of humble life
proposes, but still the girl is undecided,
wondering whether want might not dis
courage love.
The play consumes only one hour Of life,
still It covers cons of time in the telling.
The FIRST and last acts form . complete
play. The second act explains allegori-
calIy what might have happened and
strongly hints what the decision of the
question will be.
Ends Life to Escape shame.
In this aliegorical action the girl lives
as the wife of her wealthy suitor and she
learns that IT Is life Of sham. The
result is that she takes her life by drink
ing poison. She also lives as the poor
mans wife. She finds this a life Of love
and reality. She always is given divine
guidance by a mysterious stranger who
makes his appearance from time and time
as the one who guides peoples destinies.
Returning from a peep into the land OF
the future to realism one quickly con-
cludes that the girl marries for love and
not for riches.
Marguerite Henry aptly plays the role
of the girl who solves the perplexing
question. e. H. Horner portrays those
characteristics of a man Of wealth and
I..Wa al. 4, ,NzI,

of the girl. contributes a vein of humor
to the drama by acting tho part of the
man who works in the ditch" These
principals are supported by a weii-bai.

Losw's CoIumbia-PauIine Frederick

The Slave Market" in which Pauline
Frederick is the pictured star at Loew's
Columbia until Thursday. is a romantic
and adventure picture. unusually we'll
produced and exceedingly well acted.
Pauline Frederick Is seen as a Spanish
girl, who Is captured by a pirate leader
and held as his prisoner. When he at
tempts to subdue her, she stabs him.
His followers decide to punish her by
selling her as slave. Meanwhile the
brave but poor adventurer with whom
she Is in love discovers the hiding place
Of a large chest OF pirate gold. As the
girl Is being auctioned of, our hero rides
up, and buys the girl.
As the Spanish girl Miss Frederick puts
new life in many of the situations. The
backgrounds and the costumes of the
period of the story set off her beauty to
admirable advantage; in fact, THE Slavs
Market" is we'll worth seeing for Miss
Frederick's part in It alone. Thomas
Meighan is a hkable hero and the rest
of the acting is good. Bermuda settings
add much to the attractiveness. There
is also shown on the program the Pathe
News and a beautiful travel picture en-
