POLES.

For those who say that there is nothing new under the sun, a trip to Poli's theatre, where Douglas Fair 'banks' picture, His Majesty the American" is playing in conjunction with a new vaudeville bill, will be a tonic.
 We had thought that Doug had done about everything that mortal could do-and stay whole But we were wrong. And if his future screen entertainment as was given the crowd , at last nights performance, we hope to continue to be wrong.
 The picture, in the first place, tells story which we are not going to taining to high degree, and that is what we seek in the theatre. If we want heavy, serious dramas we don't expect Doug to furnish them to us. His Majesty the American" is made to amuse, and it does that little thing from start to finish. It is bright, snappy and clean-a picture that will delight boys and girls from to S5.
 The new vaudeville program is of especially high calibre and is fea- tured by Lima Anger and the Curtis boys. Miss Anger is a singer of no mean ability, and the two youngsters with her know how to play the piano and violin. This act is worth the ad- mission by itself.
 Pat Rooney's production, Songs Old and New proved a pleasing nov city, and some of the show girls are worthy oi "Follies" berths. Freed
