If you like Constance Talmadge- and it's an odds-on bet you do you'll be enchanted with Polly of the Follies'' the First National attraction which opened a run at the Dave the atre yesterday and which is Miss Talmadee'S latest starring picture. It's a little gem of comedy-drama in which the naive star does some of the best acting of her career in the hum orous touches she adds to. the or iginal scenario prepared for sher by John Emerson and Anita Loos.
 There are thousands of Po1lies in America, all waiting for their oppor- tunity to scinti1ate in electric lights; but not all of them have PolIy's op- portunity. Some of them do Some of them meet the fate Polly encoun- ters and some of them tell a different story.
 The idea of a country girl yearning for footIght fame is a Sure-fire angle and the authors and star have evolved it from another point of view than that usually found in such stories.
