has Mr. Poll banded together COM
bination of actors and actresses who
will make the organization in reality
an al-star stock company. but the
list of plays which he has secured,
many of them at staggering royal
ties, reads like the honor roll of re-
cent Broadway hits.
Mr.. Poll has not spared expense
to make this season one to be re-
membered long and pleasurably by
Hartford theatergoers. He has also
been favored by reason of the fact
that never in the history of the
American stage has there been such
an avalanche of New York successes
released for stock as this spring.
In addition to this, Mr. Poll
through his intimate association with
many of the biggest producing man

So Cuffy did the first thing that

Cuffy heard him mutter. And then
Mr.. Bear went crashing into the for

Cuffy did not care to follow him any

no doubt that Mr.. Bear didn't intend
to fight his three friends all at the

and Wednesday of next week the Pal
ace will offer New Britain's favorite
tenor, Andrew J. Basso, in recital
of songs. Mr.. Basso has appeared in
numerous amateur theatricals in this
city and is noted for his wonderful
voice. He has appeared lately in re-
citals in Hartford and only last Sun
day afternoon was big favorite at

the Palace. It was then that the
Palace management decided to play
him in conjunction with the Vaude-
vile bill and now his many friends
and admirers will be given the oppor-
tunity of hearing him sing. After
studying voice culture for quite some
time he has advanced himself far be-
yond the expectations of those VINO
have not heard him sing lately and
now possesses much stronger and
sweeter tenor voice. He will be ac-
companied by pianist at the oapy
grand and will sing a selected series
Of songs that will no doubt bring MIN
large amount of applause. There
will be other Keith vaudeville acts
headed by the, Lutes Bros who offer
the most sensational novelty seen in
vaudeville. The photoplay attraction
on this bill will present Allan Dwan,s
"Glimpses of the Moon with

her visiting" ...
He answered, Paula Perier, you
know, is a French girl and she has
never gone in Albany society as 1t
is called because she has to earn her
own living She is very nice, how
ever, and some time I will introduce
you to her because / know you are
not a snob, my dear"
why don't you invite her and
her escort over to our table and in
troduce her to me tonight?" i asked
innocently.
II wouldn't subject Paula to the
venomous remarks of Mabel Locke
for anything in the world and beside
/ do not know her escort. Paula,
YOU know, is a model. Because she
is about the prettiest girl in town all
the society girls are jealous of her.
Their brothers have no such scruples,
I'll tell the world.
"She poses for all the commercial
firms about town, ! met her when |
wanted someone to illustrate that
new dental cream that we put on the
market. Notice her when she smiles.
Her teeth are like pearls"
When we got back to the table
Arthur asked me to dance and said,
Don't pay any attention to any
thing that Mabel may say. She is
nice enough girl but she cannot help
being gossipy and little jealous
Then when Mabel got me alone she
said, THAT Perier girl has had every
man in town at her feet and your
Jack, up until the very moment you
| were married, seemed to be the one
most favored. / wondered that you
had not heard of her before"
You see, Vera dear, that all these
casually expressed opinions form q
triangle that makes me rather
| curious to know about this girl.
You are really the only person
know whom / may ask and who will
tell me the truth. Was Jack in love
