Poli Players at Palace Theater, Hart ford, Appear in Unusual Produc-

| fBy The Herald Reviewer).
 "Listening In" an uncanny sort of thing, trespassing heavily on spirit
 ua1ism, is being offered this week by the Poli Players at the Palace in
 Hartford The uncanny situations
 which arise and the weirdness of Ii all kept the audience in suspense last night until the curtain rang down on
 the last act. 85 l As for a plot, it appears to be lack F ing. The story is unusuas but seems
 to have no other purpose than to ex- pose spiritualism and what person
 will do while under hypnotic inf1u- ence. There are many moments of intense excitement such as when the lights go out, flowers on the wall 1 the aid of a human hand writes on the library table and other such i things.
 The company does well in the diff ficult roles each has to portray and as last week the honors again go to
 DeForest Dawley MT. Dawley plays the part of John Coomber, who con- sents to live in what is known as BleeNker Hall, a haunted house, in which his uncle lived for many years and died. While resident of the
 house Coomber is gifted with an un-
 usual power of foretelling many dis
 asters about to occur and is able to save many people from death. Mary Ann Dentler, as Janet Van Sloan, the girl who loves Coomber, appears more attractive and charming than here tofore and is given an excellent op- portunity to wear delightful frocks which appeal to the feminine eye. Others in the cast including Frank McHugh and William Blake do well in their respective roles.

 We found that the electric heater had warmed the air thoroughly, al- though to our way of thinking the atmosphere was decidedly stuffy. Bnt l knew that my mother-in- law with the chilliness of old age, would heed only the warmth. and with an assentng nod to Katherine's quericd, 'Warm enough? ?" I followed her down the hall to my mother-in-law's room.
 We found her sitting by the fire, with an empty tray and cup on the table. Evidently she had thoroughly enjoyed Katies bountifu serving, and was much refreshed.
 T can just as well stay up the rest of the night" she said in a low tone, as we noiselessly entered.

You have been wonderful but we can't afford to have you ill also, especially with your daughter and son-in-law coming.

 Tt wouldn't be any of her business If I did" she said with trace of her old acerbity But, signing heavily, s'1 suppose you are right. I might be i'll. I tell you, Margaret, it's pret- ty tough to realize that you can't stand things any more as you used to-. Why I've seen the time---'

 Banal, indeed, was the comment, as very well realized, but it pleased my mother-in-aw inordinately
 You're a f1atterer, Margaret, but a good daughter" she answered, smiling faintly as she made her way to, the door, and then with her hand on the knob, she made her great equalization,

 She closed the door softly behind her, and Katherine swiftly panto- mined her appreciation and amaze ment.
 ffI'he eighth wonder of the world" she intoned softly, and then she stripped down the covers of Mother Graham,s bed and ratted the pillows into shape. .
