BRONNLOW PERMITS
CHILDREN ON STAGE
Polls Manager Praises Rescind Of
District Rule.

District Commissioner Louis Brown
low has rescinded the regulation pro-
hiblting the acting Of children in the
atricals In washington, and, to thank
him, Fred O. Berger, manager Of
Polls Theater, has addressed the fol-
lowing letter 70 him:
Dear Mr.. Commissioned have this
day been advised that you have res
cinded the regulation prohibiting the
use Of children in theatrical perform
ances and hasten to commend you for
the stand taken.
As the stage is but the medium OF
expression Of life il seemed most In
congrous to me that the regulation
was ever brought about. The stage
has imposed no hardship upon the
children, II has rather tended to de-
velop artistic tendencies in youth.
And without the children the stage
would be but a poor mirror of life, at
least that pure, sweet side of life
known as the family circle. There
are many plays that require children
for their proper presentation, and Il
Is only right and proper that they be
permitted TO take part in theatricals,
provided, of course. their education is
not interfered with in the meantime.
As a theatrical manager who has
had over thirty years experience with
children in plays l have yet to see
where there has been any III effects.
Again thanking you for this further
evidence Of your good Judgment in
resembling this regulation. am
Yours very truly,
FRED @. BERGER, Manager.

PROMISED NEXT WEEK.
PoIrs-sThe Little Grey Lady,

EOhs-Lhe Llttle trey LAdy."
1t is with unusual pleasure the Poll
management is enabled to announce
as the attraction of next week that
remarkable little comedy that set all
Washington agog a few years ago,
THE Little Grey Lady"
On that occasion it was necessary
to extend the engagement and keep
the company here for two weeks in
order to accommodate those who wish
ed to see it. In view of this fact
1t is strange that SO long a time has
elapsed before the local theatergoer
again has the privilege Of witnessing
this delightful story OF Washington
life.
THE Little Grey Lady" has a triple
claim upon Washington audiences in
that its scenes are laid in surround
tngs with which We are all familiar;
its author, Charming Pollock, is one
OF Washington's most successful
dramatists: and Florence Rittenhouse
will again be seen in a delightful role
which Julia Dean originally created.
The play is full OF types Of which
Mr.. Pollock made a mastery study
during his long residence in this city,
and among the local scenes that will
be faithfully reproduced is that of
the redemption room of the Treasury
Department. The play was produced
in 1906 and its run at the Garrick
Theater, New York, was only inter-
rupted to permit of its transfer to the
Majestic Theater, because of dates at
the Garrick that could not be can
celled. For two seasons it remained
the dramatic novelty of America and
probably did more to establish for
Mr.. Pollock his prominence In his
chosen profession than any other of
his offerings.
