To Be Seen This Week
PoHs-.where Poppie. Bloom.,

PoIPs--Where Poppies Bloom,
So far the theater has not paid
much attention to the romance of the
war-to the love stories of The in
dividuals involved in it, whose ro-
mances have attained sublimity end
beauty by virtue of the great adven-
ture. 1t has concerned itself rather
with the purely heroic and spectacu-
lar phases of the war. In a sense
this has been a disastrous policy. The
spectacle, intrinsically. is not very
interesting in the theater. Playgoers
always prefer a story about a man
and woman, rather than a story of
the achievements Of armies. But the
war does furnish a compelling and
absorbing background Of romance.
Such use has been made Of the war
in the new drama which A. H. Woods
will present at Polls Theater tomor-
row Monday evening" for an engage
ment of one week with Marjorie Ram

TWENTY MEN AND Dog LAND
AS MYSTERIES OF THE SEA

Norfolk. Va, June 25.-Twenty
men and one dog, all in rather bad
shape, We're landed here yesterday by
an incoming vessel.
More than the bare announcement
that they are survivors of a British
steamer could not be secured from the
naval authorities at this port. The
statement was made that full re-
port had been made to the navy de-
partment and that no one here was
authorized to give out any informa-
ton. n fact the naval intelligence
Office seemed surprised that anything
had leaked out regarding the crew
being here
Whether the men are from a tor
pedoed vessel could not be ascertain
ed. The condition that they were in
when they came ashore led those who
saw them to believe they had been
through severe hardships and prob
ably had been in an open boat for
some time before being picked up.
But they stuck to their dog through
1t all.
Efforts to get information from the
navy department in Washington re-
suited in the statement that no re-
port had been received from the Nor
folk office.

DENTS arrived Sunday and were re-
cetved into rhe dormitories and pri-
Nate homes in the city. one of the
striking features in connection with
the opening is the almost total absence
or men. The number of men attend
liz each Of the preceding summer
quarters has constantly increased, he
ing about fifty in the summer Of 1871
and about 100 in the summer Of 1917.
Only about half dozen men have
registered this week This is ac-
counted for by the large number Of
men teachers who have been drafted
IN the army or who are subject to

The preparation and experience of
the young women attending this year
is much better than it has ever been
before, The number of those qualified
TO take the higher professional courses
has constantly Increased since the
