Poli's-Mnrie Dressier In .'TilIie's
Nightmare

Anybody who is looking for a
real good time this week need go
no farther than Polls. where Marie
Dressler is playing Tillie Blobbs,
the kitchen drudge who falls asleep
at her work and dreams she is the
Empress Josephine in Paris settling
the peace fight" Miss DressIer is
accompanied to Polls this week by
q collection of gauzy damozels and
clever comedians who dance. sing.
and chatter engagingly every mo-
ment of their time before the foot
lights.
TITLES Nightmare wouldn't
amount to much without Miss Dress
! Ter. but the robust comedienne
makes II a merry whirl of continu
Gus fun. The scenes of the comedy
are filled with catchy tunes by A.
Baldwin Sloane. and there are some
dance numbers. The play opens in
the dining room of }Mrs. Blobbs'
boarding house, at Skaneatelss, n.
Y. and introduces Tillie and her
lover Sim Pettingill. who is only
waiting to claim her for his wife
until he can support her. Titles

lady" and should not be called up

lief she is abetted by Smiley Bragg,
OF New York City, who lives up to
his name.

who are playing the town. present
tickets to the entire household for
the show. and Tillie looks forward
to an evening off. but fate inter-
venes. and she has to stay home
a nd Ea nj
for the show and poor Tillie sits
down to read the paper. As she
reads she wonders what she would
do with all the money she could
spend. and soon falls asleep and has
nightmare" Her adventures are
truly remarkable. She visits Ver-
sailles and settles the peace treaty
argument. appearing in honor of the
French as the Empress Josephine.
while Sim, whom she has married,
appears as Napoleon.
Marie Dressler has not been as
funny since the days when she was
first the talk of New York in the
"Lady Slavey," and smashed the
furniture with Dan DAILY. She sang
the. classic. Heaven Will Protect
the Working Girl" last night as
she only can do il, and whenever
she was on the boards there wa.
perfect gale of laughter. She is
surrounded with some clever
people. There is pretty Marjorie
McClintock, as Maude: Leslie NJ.
Hunt, as Sim: Harry Huguenot. as
Harvey Tinker. an inventor who
doesn't invent: John Roberts, as
Smiley Bragg. and George German
and Fanchon Marble, as Frost and
Snow, the vaudeville team.
fhepe are so many song and
dance numbers that it is impossI-
Bile to mention them all. "A Kiss
from a Beautiful Girl" earned
John Roberts many recalls last
evening, and Love Is Only What
We Make 1t" was a favorite num-
Der. There are also a number of
novel dances, including Jazzbo. the
Jazz kink. by Irving Edward, and
an oriental dance by Marie walsh,
who scored heavily. In Titles
