 At Polls theatre yesterday, from the opening act to the finish of the per for,nance it was one continuous shower of applause. Andrew Mack was the bright particular star and who does not know Andrew Mack?--- his hair ttnged with a little gray, but as entertaining as in the days gone by. He offers 8 little monologue in- terspersed with several songs rendered in the inimitalole Mack style. Pauline F,redrick is seen in "The Loves of Letty,'' a beautiful story of old Eng land, with a plot of unusual interest.
 As vital to every woman itself, is the problem of choosing a husband To Lefty, the problem fraught with difficulty. Her life had been one pitt full, intending struggle against pow erty---barren of the comforts and lux urles that every woman craves.
 Miss Fredrick displays her art te perfection in "The Loves of Lefty" The balance of the bill is composed oi Harry and Kitty Sutton in 'tThe Pow der Puff Girl,'' a novelty offering; the Three Jeanettes, an act especially pleasing the 'kiddies''; The Faynes the male member of the team almost doubles himself into a knot, and Me Nally Dina and DeWolf, a song and dance trio. Pathe News has a score of new views AS whole the Poll bill is very-very good.

Edward Everett Horton, stock leading man in Los Angeles, who is one of the few thespians in the film metropolis who has not entered the movies, might have been a surgeon except for an unvarnished remark from his father.
 Horton just out of college, won dered aloud as to whether he should become an actor or a surgeon. Then spake the paternal Horton.

THE SEAMY SIDE
 OF BROADWAY

New York, Dec. 31.-This is the first Christmas in four years that New York has celebrated with noth- ing lacking except the spirits. The spirit is there. but the plural is woe fully lacking. During the war days New York took her pleasures sol emn1y. The Rialto "doused it's glim'' and lived up to every demand made upon it. That was because it was flor the cause". but now that war is over, and the boys are home, and everything should be as it was in the happy days so long ago, they can't get accustomed to the dim lights, the absence of stimulants and other crepe hanging influences.
 New York will have it's first real home Christmas in years', observed one hotel manager. '"There is needed something more than a cabaret to awaken fnterest in a New Yorker, and now the cabarets are supposed to close at Ii o'clock, the hour usual for their opening. The result is that families will probably get acquainted this year for the first time"
 "It is a consoling thought" ebserv- ed Frank Kintzing' of the French Theatre, ''that the United States al ways did and always will win it's war;
 Right" admitted Richard Hern- don, the manager of the theatre. 'eWe have to win because there is no one to start S relief fund for us if we didn't. That is our own and exclusive prerogative privi1ege.''

represented.
 They hope, if they can make head way with this program, it will be cas- fer to bring the old line people to Johnson if Lowden and Wood fail to poll a majority. The Johnson people, too, express indignatin at repeatedly published newspaper reports that Johnson will bolt and head third party if he fails of nomination. He is standing, they say, on his earlier declarations that he is engaged only in a family row which will be ended when the convention chooses candi- date and that he will stand by the eonvention's decision.
 The confusion over tomorrow's pro- gram and delay in the platform brings out an array of guesses on how long the convention vii lhave to sit. Gov |ernor Allen of Kansas ,who is to nomi- nate General Wood, said today he did not expect the nominating speeches would be reached before Friday and that balolting would not be started be- fore Saturday. He looked for a pro tracted session of the resolutions com mitee.
 From today's preliminary arrange mating speech would come first. Ala bama, alphabetically first in the call for nominations, it was said, would yield neither for nomination of Wood or Lowden, preferring not to show any preference. The next state in the list is Arizona, and as it's del- egation is favorable to Wood, it ex- pected to yield to Kansas so that Governor Allen may make his speech placing General Wood in nomination. Under such an arrangement the con vention would get it's first glimpse of the Wood strength by the demon stration which follows and would be enabled to determine whether the sentiment is among the delegates or in the galleries.
 To day was full of conferences and goings and comirgs between the lead- CTS, old and new, all looking for some signs of sentiment crytallizing.
 Former Senator Crane of .Massa- chusetts, who arose today as one of the chief proponents of platform declaration to affirm the principle of an association of nations with pro- tecting reservations saw Senator Johnson, and it was said the Califor- nian told him in substances:
 "I'm in pacific mood I'm not looking for fight on this treaty, but Pm ready to fight hard if necessary. You are the ones who would cause trouble. The treaty plank is more to me than any personal considerations"
 Governor Lowden followed his usual routine, conferring with supporters and receiving delegates and newspa0 per correspondents.
 General Wood came in from Fort Sheridan early and spent the day at his headquarters, receiving managers and callers.
 Senator Harding, Senator Poindex- ter, Governor Sproul and the numer- ous other candidates spent the day in and receiving visitors.

Personal Service :.
 Club to Help Out :,
 Aged, III Woman

There is one club, at least in Pine Bluff, that is not going to let the heat of summer or anything else. in- terfere with it's activities. And best of all, the activities are along lines that promote happiness and comfort to those who, perhaps, would not be reached otherwise.
 At the County Hospital is an aged woman who has been an invalid for twelve years. Three weeks ago she and her husband were sent to the hos |pital, and she is the only woman there. But she will not be lonely or want for the little clothings that go to make for happiness and comfort, for the members of the Personal Service club of the First Baptist church, are going to be her personal friends, and do the many nice little things, that they would do, were she their own mother.
 And by next Sunday two little girls will be at Sunday school with new dresses on and feeling that "they belong," for this club has taken two children of the Detention Home as their special charges, and the first thing planned for them is new clothes.
 Tuesday afternoon, the club, met with Mesdames w. l. Afford and A. c. Neuberg. at the home of Mrs. AL ford, 614 Pine street. Mrs. M. T. Bell. the president, presided. Mrs. E. P. Bell led the devotional. and Mrs. Fred Bennett conducted the Bi- ble study.
 Their meetings will be held twice month as usual, and they will con- tinue their visits to the hospitals. A delightful ice course was served dur ing the social hour.
