,POLi Letter

Dear Henry:
 When they tell us that there Is lot of actors out of work nowadays, Hen, the idea strikes me that 1t IS good ones are still playing on the Poi circuit Gosh! the kind of shows
 that Zip" PuI1 has been handing us lately just naturally up and prooVes 1t, too. FirinStance.
 Stanisloff and Company whirled on with some Russian dances and five good looking girls that knew their dances backward. And when we get five girls that can dance together like
 one girl. and do those difficult steps, why that's what I call handing you SOME entertainment, "a Ia platter It's a complete show in itself. But there's more, lots more.
 Little, but oh my, that Little Chief Tendehoa! This boy is sure some treat, Hen. With a voice that has quality sticking out all through 1t he treated us to some songs that struck home, believe you me, Hen. With his extraordinary voice I would have been satisfied, but no, he has to show us what tricks an athlete can hair in two braidS and seventy other ways. Yea, bo.
 Cooper and Lane. two blackface
 comedy boys. nearly broke up the break it up all I could. by nearly
 breaking my hands, appiauding them If you want to hear some real com edy singing, and I know everyone does, then these boys sure are your dish.
 Bob Hall, extemporaneous singer extraordinary, that's he. He says it's
 a gift, and doggone if it can be any thing else as far as I can see Come and see how he does it and then try and tell me, cause l don't know yet. Big Jim. a cinnamon bear that can shimmy like a fla pper,' dance like Charlie Chaplin. skate like Bobby Mclean and wrestle like ''Strangler'
 Lewis, is something that you will en- joy. He's not q union bear either, his salary is just one large red apple. SOME BEAR. heni
 "AIidsummer Madness" in six reels, | is something that goes a long way toward making it a tip-top show this
 week. Hen. It shows what you should not do after getting married, that is if you want to STAY married. Pathe News shows three famous l boys in a, little comedy. They are Charlie Chaplin. Jack Dempsey and Doug Fairbanks, and if those boys can't put action into anything they bust" into why I'll treat. Swinging on the gate,

Plaza Program Is
 Pleasing

A Fox news reef. with several ad- ditional novelty features starts off good show at the Plaza The second offering is Mermaid comedy which demonstrates that Chaplin, Arbuckle, Heating, ct al, have not uncovered all the comedy ideas, by any means. The comedy, as the name implies, is a seashore affair, but there are many new features, an especially good laugh being produced by a low-ide dive to a sand bar from a high rock, done to the Queens taste.
 The vaudeville part of the bill is supplanted with one of those musical comedy tabloids, this one being Roger Gray & Co.,, and a lot better offering than many acts of this cali sketch. one little lady, name not mentioned on the billing, being the posse.ssor, of a very pleasant voice, and to her went the hcnors. The best laughing hit in the number was a. burlesque on Madame Eva Fay, the mind reader, very well done.
 William IFarnum, supported by Alice Fleming in a Fox feature, His Greatest Sacrifice,'' is one of those films, filled with pathos, that gives the majority of the audience a very satisfying cry, and even the sterner of the men folks leave the theatre with a cold in the nose- MT. Farnum is one of America's really great actors. and he is at his best in this picture There is a murder, a plea of guilty tcnce, an innocent child left in the lurch, a mother that dies while the son is behind the bars, prison scenes, q bad man, a woman that slides, and puts on the brakes a little to late, and all in all one couldn't help but re- except that the people in the picture all had chara Cter.

There used to be a little axiom about telling a lady by her boots, but you certainly would miss your guess TOW. Lady or no lady. everyone wears good shoes, and most of us wear silly ones.
 The short vamp French toe is in disputably the most comfortable style fashion has offered us in many moons. Many of us rejected them al- together. some accepted a modified version, and now they seem to be dis appearing. As for the abominable French heels-wen. everyone who can wears them.
 I found some new and very inter esting French models yesterday af- ternoon, though they did not have the French toe, but a very much modified affair.
 You remember, perhaps, mother or grandmamma referring to certain hid eous but comfortable slippers, with elastic inserts. that she wore in strict private, as "Juliets." We'll, I found some gray suede "JuIiets," truly. only these were very smart and really rather pretty. They are sketched in the rectangIe.
 With them were some black suede pumps that had kind of strap over the top of the vamp and an upstand- ing, pointed tongue. They would look extremely well with a street suit
 And then in another shop I found a pair of patent leather pumps that were purely Colonial only the tongue was made of a. stiff ruffle of satin, lacked with a velvet ruffle, and held irl place with a big filigree silver buckle.

EMPIRE

In all the length and breadth of fc- ton there is no more picturesque q character than Hajj, the beggar of Bagdad. Edward KnoblOck, the play wright, made Haij famous in the stage version of ''Kismet," and Otis Skin ner, perhaps the best known and most popular actor in the country, inn mortalized Haij during the years he gave life to this characterization on the stage.
 The Robertson-Cole company has filmed the famous play, which will be run for four days at the Empire theatre, and thousands of people in this city are going to have an oppor- tunity of seeing Hajj. the beggar, DOT trayed by no less a person than Otis Skinner himself.
