WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLI'S

The last opportunity is presented
appearing at the Poll theatre. Imita-
tons of all the leading Broadway
stage characters, song, dancing and
comedy of modern origin, makes this
production one of the finest which
has come from the metropolitan CEN
ter of vaudeville during the past two
months.
Lovers of the elegant, the unique
and the beautiful in motion picture
production will find their desire in
Cinderella Man, in which Mae Marsh
is starred. 1t is a quaint and home
ly romance of two continents in
which a girl is the prime theme Miss
Marsh, always attractive, is even
more so than usual in this.
The Hanamura troupe of Japanese
balancing artists, offer their repertoire
of sensational and daring feats amidst
splendor of setting which eclipses

LYRIC

Pursuant to the published opinions
of the newspaper critics who reviewed
the Polo Players Interpretation of
the famous Irish-American comedy
drama, THE Daughter of Mother
Machree, at the Lyric theatre Mon
day evening little more can be said to
recommend it. Never before have the
Players had an opportunity of display
ing their talents to such advantage
and perhaps never before have they
been given the reception accorded
them in this.
The audience last night gave
another demonstration of the appre-
citation with which they receive the
productions shown at this always pop
ular playhouse and from the time the
curtain rose until it's final fall the
spectators displayed satisfaction. AT
times during the pathetic situations
tire great audience is moved to tears,
but this is quickly relieved by an in
lection of comedy at just the right
time, which moves them to laughter.
AS usual Warda Howard came in
for her share of the applause. Others
in the cast are equally good and prove
to be able supporters of this versatile
leading lady.
Next week the Players will be seen
in that funniest of farcical comedies
Here Comes the Bride" and judging
from the results at rehearsals another
treat is in store for the patrons of the
Lyric theatre.

STATEMENT
NEVER CHALLENGED

London, March 2O-The Germans
have never attempted to challenge or
contradict the statement of Sir Eric
Geddes that between 40 and SO per
cent. of the submarines operating
around the British Isles since the be-
ginning Of the war have been de-
stroyed. The percentage at the pres
ent moment, The Associated Press is
informed is even higher than the fig
ures given by Sir Eric Geddes, and
the new order of merit established
by the German Emperor for subma-
rine crews that have survived three
undersea expeditions is believed to
be designed not so much as reward
for successful achievement as slim
illus and encouragement to submarine
crews to persist in their unequal
combat with the British and Ameri-
can navies.

There seems to he prevalent in

great many witnesses have been
taken away to the army. that no
courts will be held. or at least but
few cases tried.
OF course the absence of the
only witnesses to material facts
will necessitate continuance of
some cases, but while our soldier
boys are making people behave in
Europe. we most behave our
selves at home Therefore we
can not discontinue the holding
of our courts,
The criminal branch of the cir
cult court will he held next week
at Jasper, and every case will be
tried. where it is at all possible
to try it, and do justice to all
parties concerned. The purpose
of this article is to give notice to
the people generally, that if they
have any interest in the criminal
