Regiment" Is
Offering at PoRs

Donald Brian, the popular and MIN
ble-footed musical comedy star, in
the successful musical comedy, Her
Regiment" with music from the ex-
pert hand Of Victor Herbert, and story
and lyrics by William LeBaron, will
come to Polls for q weeks stay, be-
ginning tonight
The score Of Her Regiment" gives
promise OF hearing the brilliant Her
bert at his happiest, its music having
been praised as possessing that same
popular appeal and quality that help
ed to make his other successes so
unsteady attractive.
The story is told in three acts, and
has to do with a French unit in those
bright days before August 1914 when
the soldiers OF France were not
"poilus," but were gay and carefree,
with nothing more serious to do than
while away their time in fun and
love-makIng. There is a young and
pretty girl, who pretends to be a
farmers daughter, who is going to
marry the colonel OF q favored regi-
ment stationed near her home. When
the pretty girl falls in love with a
private, who is in the cOlOners regi-
ment, things begin to complicate, un-
til the superior officer relents and
permits young love to have its way.
For the playing OF Her Regiment
an excellent company has been asso-
ciated in support OF Donald Brian,
who will sing and dance his way
through the Dlay as the Young private
in love with the pretty girl. To part
ner him in song there is Audrey
Maple, and to partner him in dance is
Cissie Sewell, who has danced with
him in the various other musical
comedies when he was a member Of
the star triumvirate Of which Julia
Sanderson and Joseph Cawthorn were
the other two members concerned.
Frank Moulan is the leading come
dian, while the other members OF the
excellent cast are Josie Intropidi,
Hugh Chilvers, Norma Brown, Orlo
French, Jackson Hines, and Fred
