ROBERT v. FRAZER
WILL GO TO WAR
Polls Popular Leading Man In,
tends to Enlist.

The army draft has reached fur
ther members Of the Poll Theater
organization.
Telegraphic advice reaching WASH
ington states that Robert w. Fra
zer's number was pulled at hfs home
in birmingham, Mass. but it was
so far down the line that Bob"
will probably not be called to the
colors.
While Mr.. Frazer could perhaps
gain exemption on the score that he
is in fact the sole support of his
parents, he Is too full of real,
thorough-going American patriotism
for that and will proceed to put his
house in order so that he can 60
when the call comes.
Mr.. Frazer figures that with an
other season Of work he will have
enough put aside to care for his
parents and will then go. Bob" is
one of the real high-priced leading
men and is made of that sterling
type of manhood that has looked out
for the proverbial rainy day."
The aviation corps is the field Of
his ambition and he is arranging now
to go to that branch of the service.
Russell Fillmore announces himself
as ready to respond to his country 6
call, and when the call actually comes
1t will no doubt bring a mixture of
grief and pride to a large body of
the feminine contingent in Washing
ton, for Russ is scknowledged to
be one of the most popular Of the
Poll Players.

POIrs-"story Of the Rosary.

Something quite different from the
usual run Of plays, a play originating
in Drury Lane, emigrating with sue
cess to the Manhattan in New York,
THE Story Of the Rosary" will be the
offering of the Poll Players next week,
with the usual two performances
daily.
THE Story Of the Rosary" is
fundamentally a story of love. 1t Is
encased In a fascinating atmosphere
Of war time, in a country such as
George Barr McCutcheon himseir
might have invented.
On the eve of war, Paul marries the
handsome Venetia and she, in parting
gives him a rosary to keep as a re-
membrance of her love. Then Paul
becomes a hero at the front, leading
forlorn hope with courage and valor.
In the meantime Prince Won Sabran,
who has become interested in the girl,
abducts her. Philip returns and the
war is over. He tells Venetia that
her husband Is dead and the rosary
plays an important part in the
narrative. She refuses to believe II
and Larose, forever sedulous in seek
ing happiness for her, sets out to
md the missing hero and husband.
Finally his search Is rewarded.

Installation of the play by Sir Arthur
Wing Pinero, in which Billie Burke
was starred on the stage a few sea-
sons ago. Marguerite Clark is
pictured in the role created by Miss
Burke and Is likely to give her ad-
mirers even more shocks than were
created by her predecessor.
The story Of the play was written
around the experiments of an English
mother who was disappointed when
heaven blessed her with three charm
ing daughters, instead of the sons,
for whom she longed. She tried to
console herself by bringing up the
girls as she would have trained boys.
thereby highly scandalizing the con-
servative neighbors and furnishing
material for a really fascinating story.
Miss Clark, of course, is pictured as
the most irresistible of the thres
pretty, but amazingly athletic young
women.
