Poll Players Get q ''Day or
And Plan To $50 To a Show

I
Theatergoers scarcely realize that
actors are without a holiday, and now
the Poll Players are facing one. and
really don't know what to do with IL.
In order to accommodate Walter T.
Holt, the leader OF the Mandolin Or
chestra in the lobby OF the Poll Thea
ter. Manager Berger has leased the
theater to him for tomorrow night,
and. therefore, the first performance
of the Poll Players in THE Heart OF
Wetona" will take place Tuesday aft
ernoon at the matinee.
In consequence OF this Interlude in
the Poll Players program, the mem
bers of this organization will have
their frst and probably their only
night off OF the year. When an
nouncement to this effect was made
by Director Curtis at the rehearsal.
the Poll Players were all in q guam
dairy. The situation was unexpected.
What am I going to do with my
night Off" said Miss Florence Ritten-
house. the leading woman. Now.
really I do not know. You see, one
becomes so accustomed to the routine
of stock work that I do not believe I
will know what to do. We are unac-
customed to holidays, and / suppose
I will go right along in the same rou-
tine. You know, we will have our
rehearsals on Monday, as usual, so
the interlude will be q night off. and
that is all"
Robert w. Frazer. the Poll Players
leading man, opined that he would
"go to a show" Sunday night is the
only time I have had an opportunity
to look into a theater in which was
not professionally engaged, and will
certainly relish the opportunity to sit
out in the audience and watch the
other fellow work"
All the others in the cast decided
on the same celebration.

Aborn Star Believes
Capital Ia MaIiEned.

Washington's theater-goinE public
has been sadly maligned, according to
Miss Maud Gray, the Aborn organiza.
tion prima donna, who made her frst
appearance here last week and who
will be a ''hold-over" in the cast at
the National this week.
Some one 1t q. seems had told Miss
Gray that in the Capital audiences
were reserved and somewhat cold.
This she is prepared to refute, and
so insistent Is she on refuting IL 1t
is impossible to get her to talk on her
favorite hobby, women's war relief
work or any other safe and sane topic
stage folks are supposed to discuss.
This is the incest city to appear in
ever saw" she insists and then pro-
ceeds to expatiate. Her enthusiasm is
only fair, however. for the Acorn
clientele last week surrendered un-
conditionally to the dainty singer and
gave her an ovation every night. So
TO believers in reciprocity Miss Gray
has ample ground for boosting the
Capital.

No music is as familiar as that pro- dueed by the locust, grasshoppers and crickets, ana, although they are not produced by the mouth, they answer as calls. and are undoubtedly lan- guage to certain extent: and, indeed, their calls have been reduced to writ ten music. The music of grasshoppers is produced in four different ways ac- cording to Scudder. First, by rubbing the base of one wing upon the other, using for that purpose veins running through the middle portion of the wing; second. by similar method, by using the veins of the inner part of the wing; third, by rubbing the inner part of the wing; third by rubbing the inner surface of the hind legs against the outer surface of the wing covers; and, fourth, by rubbing to- gether the upper surface of the front edge of the wings and the under sur face of the hind legs.

New York armistice already IS in effect on I-- parts of the Rus sian front.
 This information is contained in of ficial announcements from Berlin and Vienna. The Russian statement tells of increased fraternizing between the Russian and German troops. but does not mention the armistice.
 The Vienna announcement says:
 During the last few days an ar- mistice has been concluded on many sectors of the Russian front, from di- vision to division and from corps to corps. In the Pripet region the Rus sian army concluded an official ar- mistiee with the opposing command of the allied (Teutonie) troops.
 "A Russian deputation crossed our lines in order to prepare the way with the plenipotentiaries of the allied (Teutonie) armies for an armistice on the whole Russian front.
 "In the Italian theater and in AL bania there is nothing new"
 An armistice was agreed on with the Russian army. according to Der lin dispatch It was begun when hos tilities were to be stopped and ar engagements made concerning inter- course between tie lines, troop move ments in the tre4 Aches and work and air activity ForN-eight hours notice was fixed for denunciation of the ars. mistice. which covers the territory from the south bank Of the Pripet to the south of the Lipa.
 Meanwhile the internal situation in Russia remains acute. Infantry and machine gun attachments have been sent against the general staff head quarters at the front, where refusal to meet the Bolsheviki regimes de- mand that arrangements be made by the commander-in-chief with the Ger mans for an armistice.
 All the newspapers which printed the manifesto Of the provisional gov. ernment have been suspended.
 The provisional government. thrown out of power by the Bolsheviki, reap peared on the scene recently and is- sued manifesto claiming to be the only legal authority in Russia and urging the people not to obey the de erees of the Bolshevki.
