stage discussed the point the other day.
 "The historical drama MT. Elton declared, "is a happy substitute for some of the plays we have at present. But if we need historical plays to sharpen our interest in historical events, why has no mention been made of plays dealing with that per iod of American existence which has now passed and which has done so much to change the sentiment of the country?"
 'Meaning?" inquired a member of ''The Light of The World company.
 Meaning, MT. Elton concluded, that period when the liberties of the American people renamed inviolate, that period preceding the era of pro- hibition." It is a fact generally known that America has lost a number of well known actors, musicians and ar- lists because of the prohibition sea- son. They have departed, ana prom ise to remain among the -absenr.
 The promise is flattering for a new era of theatrical producing in the United States. More well known players are preparing to launch inde- pendent productions than ever be- fore. The actor-manage and the
 
 American theatricals, but they have been far too infrequent. It is prom ised, however, that this may be chang ed this year. More independent pro- ductions have been made this year than during any previous five years according to well known authorities
 And it is right and proper that those who give their art to the thea tre should share in the emo1uments earned" declared Madame Ruano Bogislav the famous singer of folk songs who is at much at home in the drama she is on the concert stage as witness her new success in "The Light of the World''. Madame Bo- gislav continued. "An actor is the best friend to the actor, and the ob- servation of the old salt sums up the situation. The handsome singer and actress smiled and related the obser- vation- "A Mans best friend is his self this sage remarked. There ain't nobody else'll do as much for him or let hisself off easier when he makes a mistake I am keen for the actor-manager," Madame Bogislav concluded.
 Paul Gordon, now acting with great skill the highly effective role in '"The Man Who Came Back" was recently in France. In fact he was one of the first American actors to enlist in the training camp at PIattsburg, winning a Captaincy. He served in the A. B. F. until lately when he returned to the stage, taking up his interrupted successful career.
 Recently MT. Gordon was enjoying a shave Theb arber was a loquacious
 
 nized in MT. Gordon a soldier There | after he found great delight in re- counting his experiences the while rem owing the hirsute adornment to te face of the popular actor. What impressed you most while | abroad?' MT. Gordon managed to in- quire between strokes.

 POLFS.
 Doug is in his best form at Polls theatre in his latest vehicle, When The Clouds Roll By" Judging from the laughs and the manner in which the audience received this photo-pro- ductlOn It IS safe to assert that not a single one in the large playhouse had a single fault to find. But then other good things are dispensed on this bill, the usual five acts of vaudeville are offered and if anything out of the ordinary. The Rose revue is real pretty dancing diversion composed of two 1.-the young women and a manly looking man who sure can sing. Their offering shows them to be real artists.
 For real downright comedy we must take our hats off to Walsh-Burke and Mana, two comedians and a charmer of a, girl. The men are also excep- tional dancers, reviving the old-time clog buck which brought down the house. More of this sort of amuse- ment is sure to be relished. Remind CTS of the Yankee from down East, in true character form was offered by Holmes and Holliston in a skit enti- tied "A Capsule Not to Be Taken Se- riously." Other acts were Smith and Inman in 'Sally's Visit" and Howard and Bernard, a song and dance team. The picture part of the program also showed Pathe News and g. scream ingly amusing Mack Sennett comedy, His Last False Step" featuring Ford Sterling, Philis Haver and other prom inent Sennettites

LYRIC

Upstairs and Down" as presented by the Poli Players at the Lyric last night abounded in Imaginable and in teresting situations and gave the members of the company abundant opportunity to show their versatility.
 The scene of the play is a sum- mer resort in Long Island and what there is of a plot is woven around the love making, amusements and be- havior of the idle rich and their guests upstairs and their servants below stairs under the control of a religiously inclined butler who keeps tab on all the scandal of the guests by the use of a pair of field glasses and the piecing together of torn up notes which have been thrown into the waste basket by the mistress and her guests Most of the dialogue is witty, but the blue pencil could be drawn through some of the more than suggestive lines, without in any way harming the action or interest in the play.
 Mary Ann Dentler of course starred as the somewhat indiscreet debutante who is enamoured of Captain Ter renee O'Keefe, a rolicking Irish polo player, who is a winner with all the ladies and who is the cause of much Jealousy among the male me1nDerS of the house party.
 Arthur Chatterton's portrayal of the polo player was satisfying and his love making irresistible.
 Maxwell Driscoll and Mabel Grif- fin contributed largely to the pleas ure of the evening by their fine char acter acting as the host and hostess of the occasion.
 Neat. character sketches were given by Charles D. Brown as the chauf- feur, Edward Davison as the French valet and Willard Dashiel as the but Ter. It was altogether an enjoyable performance and well worth seeing.
