POIiI.
RCYie~.

The Poii show this week is long or good dancing and well equipped with handsome special drops, carried by the performers It is good dancing. The Lorraine sisters do excellent work in the kicking style, they are big graceful women, have developed their feet as well as their legs, and will count in the dancing profession if they keep on- The "Pinkie'' act be- gins with a nice setting, which needs n little renovating- Elsie and Florie Norrie are pretty dancers and Harold West is good, but lacks punch Billie Bowman does handsome boy act and is better than usual. William Hallen is one of the best funny men in the country, but he needs some new stuff. and he needs to get rid of q couple of exceedingly suggestive songs which somebody has told him improve his work He is too com petent a performer for that sort of thing. Page, Hack and Mack are Athletes worth going far to see. They do q stunt of hand jumping which has seldom been equal1ed as a thrill CT. The show is good for Xmas week when things are supposed to Jail Bird" is attractive; most enter taining, but not entitled to serious criticism. It deals with the life of a youthful escaped criminal who does his level best to remain a swindler and is only prevented by finding an oil we'll where good honest oil never would have been concealed. It is Btoo bad that such poor stuff can be made so entertaining.
 The midnight show scheduled for New Years Eve will commence at 11:30. Everything will be done to make the coming of the New Year a big event in Brid geport at Po1i's on this occasion. There will be other attractions of a surprising nature be sides the regular bill. and the more popular members of the bill will be called upon for impromptu speeches which will liven the occasion

WILL ROGERS HAS
 STRONG ROLE N 'GUIDE OF WOMEN

Will Rogers new stellar vehicle,
 Guile of Women,'' based upon a story by Peter Clarke MacFar1ane, will shortly be ready for showing. This new picture gives him role that is decidedly different from any that he has heretofore attempted that of a Swedish sailor adrift in San Francisco. It is part that calls upon him for dramatic acting of a hgih order, in addition to the peculiar brand of humor which creeps into any characterization that the cowboy star makes for the screen.
 The picture was directed by Clar- ence Badger. In the strong support ing cast are Mary Warren, Bert fSproutte, Lionel Belmore, CI1as. A Smily, Nick Cogley, Doris Pawn, John Lince and Jane Starr. The star had a hand in editing and titling the picture, as is his custom in all productions in which he ap- pears.

Glove Me, Love My
 Pipe" Directors Cry

Frank Lloyd, who directs pictures, is the proud possessor of a meer- schaum pipe which he says is the largest in the world. At least it is so big that when he puts it in his mouth, he looks as if he were hiding behind it. It is no wonder that the pipe is such an elaborate one, for it belonged originally to Baron Roths- child. That famous financier gave it to Frederick J. Titus In appreciation of his ability as a music hall per former. After the death of MT. Titus his wife, Lydia Yeamans Titus, who is one of the Goldwyn players, gave it to MT. Lloyd.
