POLTS

Travato, peerless player Of the vio-
lin, man of dual art, performed
at Polls yesterday. He is the first
a curtain in that house for six months
at the conclusion of his act.
Polls bill in general was most
pleasing, offering much that is new
and novel. Among the added attrac-
tons, Zulieka and her big troupe of
hypnotic workers, taken from the
audience, created a profound sensa-
ton and innumerable laughts. She
has the power of making people do
things foreign to their own nature
and at command of her strange and
fascinating ability.
Eagles Eye" the first instalment
of which was shown upon the screen
today, made profound impression.
Written by william J. Flynn, former
head of the secret service of the

LYRIC

If you are fat and want to get thin,
If you are thin and want to get fat or
if you are sick and want to get well,
go to the Lyric theatre this week and
see Here Comes the Bride" the
play that set the world laughing by
Max MARGIN and Roy Atwell The
play is excellently staged by ]. Francis
Kirk, superbly presented by the Poll
Players, while the gowns and scenic
settings would do credit to a Broad
way production.
One of the greatest acid tests for a
show is the interest displayed by those
most case hardened of all the blase
critics, the members of the orchestra.
To them there is nothing new under
the sun and as a rule they would
turn up their noses at Sarah Bern
hardt, Maude Adams or the ever
youthful Mary Garden. Last night
they stayed in the orchestra pit to
watch the show and were among the
loudest in their laughter and the
most enthusiastic in their applause.
Action appears to be the key note
of the play, there is not a dull sec
ond throughout it's entire length and
one hardly RECEIVERS from one series
of thrills before another occurs and
the entire audience is thrown into
commissions of laughter. Situation
follows situation with such rapidly
that it might be said that the au-
dience is kept, not laughing at certain
lines in the play, but in one continu-
Gus roar, which starts at the rise Of
the curtain, bridges the intervals be.
tween acts and continues until the
final curtain.
Miss Warda Howard, of course
plays the bride, but Miss Carrie Lowe
scores a triumph by her clever in
depreciation of the part of "Tht
Bride" and proves herself to be ;
Coincidence of no mean order. Arthur
Buchanan, as the irascible father Of
the beautiful young heiress, shows VI
better than he has had a chance t.
in any former play and earns a BIZ
hand by his cleverness in a part whicl
calls for the best that a veteran acto
can produce.
Dan Davis, Harold Kennedy, Glady
Knorr, James Peck, Ainsworth Arm

KNOW AMERICANS
BY THEIR ACTS
Champ Clark says This IL No Time
TO Discuss Causes For Our share
I'm the world-War

New York, Aug. 10.--Champ Clark,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives. in course of an address deliv.
cred at the banquet of the Southern
Travellers association. made a strong
appeal to every American citizen. re-
gardiess of whether born on this soil
or in a foreign country to support
America to the utmost of his ability
financially, morally and in every man
ner during the crisis through which
she Is passing. He said in part:
The magnificent record of our men
In France thrills every true Ameri-
can heart, They are exhibiting the
same heroic valor in the battle lines
of Europe that their fathers showed
in this country many years ago.
1T will be a momentous, n glorious
day, when our sons and brothers come
marching home with victory inscribed
on their banners.
Arguments as to why we entered
this stupendous war are obsolete. Talk
Of those things ia fiat. stale and un-
profitable. King solomon said that
for everything there is season and
a time for every purpose under heaven.
There was a time when converse ton
as to the why and wherefore of our
participation in this world struggle
was apropos and useful. but that time
has long since passed According to
my way of thinking the matter can he
condensed into one brief sentence. No
nation will long endure or deserve to
endure which will not protect all OF
it's citizens wherever they may be by
land or sea.
1t is tremendous task we have
assumed to combat at distance OF
1000 miles the most militaristic peo-
pie on the globe; but having put our
hands to the pillow we viii not, we
cannot. we dare not look back. Presi-
dent Wilson and the congress have
solemnly dedicated our vast resources
in men and money to the successful
prosecution of this war Genuine pa
triotism consists in being through
going American citizen, discharging
all the duties of citizenship every day
Of the ass. thereby showing forth the
blessings and glories of our free and
beneficent institutions TO all the world,
That's the real way for any of us to
prove our patrlotism--for it is writ
ten; BY their works We shall know
them.
