pect from Tully presentations the
finest Of theater enjoyments, as the
millions who have witnessed his

the high Tully standard, and will be

expertness and lavishness that have
characterized his previous offerings.

POLPS
"Phi Phi"

FRANCIS WHITE. in the Par
isian success. Phi Phi" comes
to Polls Theater- this week. The
American adaptation of the book
was made by Glen MacDonough
and Harry wagstaff Gribble. The
lyrics are by E. Ray Goetz and the
music by Henri Christina.
Miss White will be surrounded by
a particularly able company which
will include Frank Laler. Robert
Woolsey, Frank Doane, irving
Beebe, Renee Delting. Helen Brod-
erick and Maude Odell.
Phi Phi" deals in a nonsensical
and impertinent way with some inn
portant characters in the history Of
ancient Greece. Unlike musical COM
edies of similar title, the name part
is not a frivolous little soubrette.
for Phi Phi is the pet name for
Phidias, the famous sculptor of the
third century b. C. History and ira
dition are burlesqued freely and
spiced with satire to make an anus
ingly frothy entertainment.
The three historical characters
are Phidias, Pericles and Aspasia
and with utter disregard to accu-
racy these three are brought to-
gether and jumbled up with five
other other totally imaginary peo-
pie.
Phidias is credited with Venus de
Milo and the Winged Victory Of
Samothrace, and the American pub
lie will be shown for the first time
how these peerless masterpieces suf-
fered their mutilations.
Aspasia will be introduced as a
little country girl with city ideas
and an ultra modern method Of
manipulating her male victims.
In the central portion of the en-
tertainment, there having been in
troduced for this production a pro-
logue and epilogue, in which mod
ern counterparts Of the ancient his
torical characters are shown by one
Madame Elusia-an interpreter Of
dreams, complexes and inhibitions;
that an honest endesvor to develop
their own virtues and talents is
better than a frantic desire to APP
propriste fame at the expense Of
their scruples.
SO there IN a moral In Phi Phi"
II you can find It, and a little his
tory II you want to look for It.
There Is even a little touch Of sym.
bolic mythology for about three
minutes. but the moral and the his
tory and the symbolism have the
same relation to the play Of Phi
Phi" as the body of a butterfly has
to it's wings. They are simply the
headquarters Of a flutter machine,
for that is Phi Phi''-one continu.
Gus flutter. The play has bee,
