POLI'S

An epoch will be marked i14 local theatrical history with the presenta- ton of the big vaudeville and picture bill at Roh's theatre the first part of this week. Drama, comedy, music and the cream of the country's first run photo plays fill the program de luxe to such an extent and in such a variety that the most fastidious will be more than pleased.
 Probably the biggest feature on the bill which is composed of big features, is the presentation of Annis and Shannon, in a comedy entitled Sweet Charity" an act which has created more laughs than there are people in New England and Is considered by metropolitan critics as being one of the greatest comedies and best writ ten satire upon present day life ever presented to the theatregoing public of America. Annis and Shannon are artists who have carved a wonderful reputation for themselves not alone in this country, but before the critical audiences in England, Scotland and Ireland.
 Skirts is another comedy which when presented by Frazer, Finley and company, is considered to be one of the greatest laugh producers on the stage today and is hound to be en- | joyed by an audience no matter what thd sge or sex may be.
 1 Music lovers will find in the Musi- cal Fredertcks, a team of artists which will more than fulfill their longing for real harmony and this number may truly be said to be the most tuneful on the vaudeville stage today. | Uproarious comedy will be the order while Brown, Lester and Campbell occupy the boards. Ward and Pryor, who might justly be termed the mon- archs of synoppation, are a team that have record for stopping shows with their ragtime numbers.
 Madame NaEimova will be seen in her latest and according to critics, her greatest screen success, the great pie ture drama, ''Toys of Fate' This | photoplay stands in class by itself for tenseness of theme and number o1 situations which cause an audience to grip their seats and wildly applaud the chmaxes which only Nazimova can successfully put over.
 Under the direction of the Poi management the HearSt-Fathe officia, war review is being made one of the
 big features of the daily program and the audience is brought right onto the bloody, stricken and battle-scarrec fields of France, Belgium, Russia, Ser. bia, Palestine and in fact to every section of the worh where the grea1 struggle of Democray against Autoc. 1 raoy ia heinz carried oN
 Another big feature will be tht 'Chester- Outing travelogue which havt been hailed as being at once the greatest entertainment and education combined.

EMPIRE

A rickety old stage-a relic of the gold rush days of 1849, and which has romantic history, is employed by William s. Hart, in his new photo- play, Riddle Gawne," which is to be shown for the first time in this city at the Empire theatre, today and to- morrow.
 In the stirring days of the gold rush to California, the coach fre- quently was held up by road agents and many of these scenes are recalled by the presence of bullet holes in the frame work of the vehicle. It was picked up by MT. Hart as trophy sometime ago and has seen active ser vice in several of his photoplays. When it was found necessary to em- ploy the aged vehicle in Riddle Gawne," MT. Hart attached six horses to it and it was driven into the noun tains the total distance covered be- ing two hundred miles. At the com pletion of the picture, it was return ed to the studio and carefully tucked away for future use.
 The coach attracted considerable attention on the Journey, and by way of contrast MT. Hart and his com pany travelled in automobiles. The story of Riddle Gawne" is a strong one and the support given the star Is the best. Katherine Macdonald is the leading woman, and others in the cast are Lon Chaney, Gretchen Led erer, Gertrude Short, Leon Kent, Mil ton Ross and B. B. Hilton.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD
 OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
PLAZA

The path of pleasure will lead to the comfortable and cozy Plaza thea ire where the expression of loyalty. laughter and love finds its outlet to multitudes of pleased patrons.
 This week particularly and today there is genuine amusement of the more refined sort at the Plaza. On the stage and on the screen there is an abundance of novelty that must appeal.to every person seeking diver sion.
 The Girl in the Air, sensational and beautiful, one who in daring con coction of deightsome displays makes one shudder at the peril and applaud at the grace and delicacy of motion. Probably no act ever shown by a woman in vaudeville can be more supreme in it's suspense than is "The Girl in the Air"
 On the screen Mae Murray in Modern Love" will show excellence, brilliancy and comedy of modern life. This pretty star of the Blue Bird pro- l duction company is beloved by all. | In this offering written especially around her there is the glamour of Broadway and the appeal of the coun- try The two are harmoniously blended into a genuine and photo graphic treat of rare excellence.
 Sultan, the worlds most sensa- tional horse, horse whose lineage is known as far back as the Crusaders time, will perform some of his re- nowned tricks. Any person may ask l this horse questions and he vii answer. He is beautiful, sagaciou: and almost sacred. Don't fail to set Sultan.
 Gerome and Albright, in the neigh of comedy song and talk with an ac exclusively their own, up-to-the min ute in material and with a pleasing personality will attempt their best. Wood and Wyde, in their origina skit, Somewhere in Mans-Land, again will put across some of the mos novel hot-shots of verbiage. The! are in class by themselves and hav' satisfied the government that the1 will do their bit when wanted. As an additional and interest com polling attraction the Allies Wa Review and Gaumont weekly vii graphically depict all the sensationa happenings at home and abroad fol the delight of Plaza audiences.

LYRIC

Whether or not the fallen brother or sister should be taken into society or cast out, If repentant, is a question that is brought out forcibly in the production of that famous problem play, Common Clay" which begins a weeks run at the Lyric theatre with matinee today by the Poli Players. Although the ordinary prob lem play has come and gone, "Oom- mon Clay" is still among the few really good dramas of the kind which are creating sensation wherever produced.
 1 The story is one that is replete with interest and keeps the audience inter- ested from beginning to end. Ellen Neal, a housemaid in the home of rich family, is led into an adventure with the son who is on his vacation from college. The family make g. 1u- dicrous and ghastly effort to suppress the case when her baby is born. They seek to prove that she is a, dance hall graduate of unsavory reputation and succeed in confronting their star wit ness with the peril of criminal pros- ecution for seduction. The climax comes when with Mrs. Neal, the girls mother, on the witness stand, the lawyer for the defense seeks to draw out damaging material against the girls earlier history and stumbles on the fact that she is his own child, a hapless legacy of a. similar adventure which he thought buried by the sands of time 20 years ago.
 Common Clay" is filled with start ling situations and touches spots here tofore glossed over as being too un- savory for public attention. It is just a repetition of the question, Should the fallen sister be cast out even though she Is repentant?" Every body should see this wonderful pro- duction. Miss Alice Clement, the lead ing woman of the Poli Players will be seen in the leading part as Ellen Neal and will be given an opportunity of really showing what she can do Clay Clement, the leading man, will appear as the rich mans son and those who have seen him know that he will do the part justice.

.EAT LESS MEAT
 IF BACK HURTS Take a glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys if bladder bOthers
 you.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, { because the uric acid in meat excites ft.se kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all i sorts of distress, particularly back { ache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urin- ary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or Kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad- der bothers you, get about four ounces of Dad Salts from any good pharmacy; ltake tablespoonful in a glass of wsster before breakfast for a few days apd your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of. grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neuttralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates. thus ending bladder disor- ders.
 Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drinl. which millions of men and women take now and then tc keep the kidneys and urinary organt clean. thus avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

It is people of this sort that ''The Kaiser Be Damned is aimed at. Ger ards -Four Years in Germany was propaganda to combat the danger of German spies and so Is ''The Kaiser Be Damned" a new play by Sidney Toler. II breaches a new vital and timely subject and is handled throughout in spirit that Is whole some and invigorating. Will be pre- sented at the Park theatre, Sept. so- Oct 1.
