, recent alteration regarding looks took
! place with cousin who insisted on
wearing glasses that were hopelessly
| unbecoming. Polly spent long hours in
fearful reasoning with her refractory
relative before convincing her that tho
G. L. HALL OPTICAL COMPANY could
fit her with glasses that would suit her
features as we'll her eyes The
change has been wrought at last, how
ever. and Polly declares that Sue looks
entirely human once more. Because
YOU have a friend who appears schol-
ariy from behind huge tortoise she'll
rims Polly says it doesn't follow that
the same model will place you at once
at the top of your profession. just as
the pince nex variety won't lengthen
every snub nose. In fact, according TO
Polly. the fitting of frames to the face
is quite as important as the fitting OF
glasses to the eye. and equally as high
an art, and for the benefit OF those
whose mirrors tell them that thsir
beauty could be enhanced by another
pattern. Polly says that Halls makes
specially of looks as we'll as lenses.
PEoPLE who are planning to hear
Martinelli at the City Auditorium
on tho evening of March 8 should go
we'll informed. says Polly, and the more
familiar one is with the operas the star
has appeared in. the more certain one
will be Of getting the greatest amount
OF pleasure from the concert. Polly
considers dropping in at THE CORLEY
COMPANY to hear Martine!li on the
Fictrola. about the best way there is
of preparing for the coming OF the
attractive young tenor. Particular
Polly herself and all her coterie of most
particular friends have haunted Che
soundproof rooms where the Victrola
reproduces with letter-perfect exact
ness the marvellous voice OF Martinelli
The girls are all inclined to be bit
argumcntative: hence a visit to The
Cor1cy Company inevitably terminates
IN discussion as to which song cScels
All others. Polly's favorite is from
Cavallicria. THY Lips Are Like Unto
Crimson Berries" while Isabel is
staunch for Celeste Aida" Marian a
hit sentimental. prefers The Flower
Song from Carmen. but all with one
accord pronounce THE Sob Song" from
Pasiiacci quite as wonderful when rem
dered by Martinelli As 1t ever was from
the throat OF the once incomparablc
Caruso. Polly says that while the voice
or Martinelli suffers nothing at thc
hands OF the Victrola. half the pleasure
OF hearing the great singer. as para
doHical as 1t may seem. is not hearing
MN at all, but seeing him. for his boy
ISM 5pontaniety. his real gift as an
actor. and that smile which one re-
members forever and ever. are worth
going many miles to see.
