Poll Review

Headed by the famous Greenwich
Villagers. with their pretty girls and
fashion show, Polls theater presented
a very attractive bill last night. Five
mented by ten amateur attempts,
comedy, Pathe Jews and an excep-
tionany good main picture.
The leading vaudeville act, repre-
senting an artists studio in Greenwich
Village is bit of musical farce, with
catchy songs and dances, and good
comedy as we'll. Seven models served
to put the audience in good humor
especially pleased by the exhibition of
beautiful gowns in striking colors
which closed the act. This act we'll
deserves to head the bill.
Another good act was the skit by
Walters and Emily Walters, ventrilo-
quists, who showed great ability in
the difficult e-throwing act. Be
sides the usual dialogue, this couple
had full sized family of dummies
with them, including an infant, a boy
and girl. Songs, as well as con-
versation were included.
An acrobatic feature of excellence
was put on by Barto and Melon, VINO
performed dangerous and difficult
stunts in such a way as to make
them appear. easy and simple. This
act drew hearty and Well deserved ap-
plause.
Mauren Eugli captivated the hearts
of many by her catchy songs, al
though the words and the music were
what really put the act across.
Goyden and. Lee. attempting a
darby and Engiishman comedy act,
completed the vaudeville bill. The
setting, a rowboat just outside the
three mile limit. was novel, but the
comedy was not the best in the world.
The amateur entertainment. the
first this season. was featured by five
children, three of whom took all the
prizes offered. Olive McRae of this
city, was far superior to her compel
itors, putting her songs and dances
across with ability which, if develop
ed, should assure her success on the
stage when she is older. Her voice is
far better than that of most chill
dren, and she danced her way to first
prize with grace
Young Miss McRae was pushed for
second honors by Dorothy Rich, a
pupil at the Barnum school. who
saang and danced. Third prize went
to Baby Marie" of this city. Seven
other. acts. some good and some ter
rible, were included in the program
Seena owen and Matt Moore play
ed the leading roles in q true to life
melodrama, Back Pay" which is a
story of a country girl who yields
to the lure of luxury and wealth, and
later pays in full. The writer saw
many women weep. and even some
men were noticed in the act of drying
their eyes with their kerchiefs.
Pathe News and "Bucking Broad
way" a comedy, completed the even
ing'S bill

In the hundreds of letters that we have received in response to that query of mine, there was not one but what said to con- tinue as we had been doing One Of the letters that I prize the most was signed "A Bunch of Downtown Stenogs" They said to continue just as I was going, that they loved the little fun I brought in occasionally, that they all read the column every day and that the only thing they would like changed at all was to give them more of the "I.

CHAPTER VII. Little ViCfOE.

One morning, in the Garden of Luxembourg, Billy Kane was sur prised to behold his friend Marecha1 strolling with Dorothea Welter. He saw them before they noted him.
 Accommodating this pace to theirs, he kept discreetly behind them as they strolled along the graveled paths
 They were a well-sent-out couple, he reflected. Dorothea looked will
 lowy and distinguished. Marechal
 was all a handsome, smart, young
 ooulevardier should be, from shiny
 topper to fawn-colored spats, with a leather-covered walking-stick swing
 ing from it's loop about one gloved
 wrist.
 ''Now how the devil did he get to
 know herr" thought Kane, vaguely disturbed.
 The annoyance passed almost be-
 fore it took shape in his mind. He had got on uncommonly well mindine
 his own business, and he considered Dorothea well able to take care of herself. He quickened his pace and overlook them.
 MarechaTs face expressed surprise and f1eeting confusion as Dorothea greeted Kane with what, for her passed for warmth. "But it is a coincidence!" exclaim- ed Marechal "It is the gentleman of whom I have been relating to you, mademoiselle. the adventure at the
 Mill of the Half-Gods; and behold you are old friends!" How perfectly rotten that wasn't there to see it!'' drawled Dorothea. Nothing happens when I am pres ent. MT.
