John Emerson and Anita
LOOS Write New Comedy
for Constance TaImadge

Polly Meacham had Just passed
seventeen. BY the time she was
thirty she would be a regular old
spinster with a knitting basket at
one side, a Manx cat on the other
and footstool to keep her slip
pers from scraping on the floor.
That at least. was Uncle Silas'
idea of how his niece should grow
up In this era; but Polly, who was
a twentieth century girl, had
few amendments to make to the
program, not the least of which
included a venture before the
footlights that was to pave the
highway to success.
Such is the opening situation OF
Polly of the Follies." the First
National attraction which comes
to the Liberty theater next Sun
day for four days. Constance Tai
madge takes the title role in a
story written especially for her By
John Emerson and Anita Loos and
which gives her unusual opportun-
iti0 to display her forte Of light
comedy.
The final scenes OF the picture
are transplanted to New York
where q famous Broadway beauty
chorus Is shown both IN the act
Of rehearsing for the annual re-
view and In the theater on the
opening night.
