POLL PLAYERS SCORE
 IN THE GOLD DIGGERS
Miss Williams and Miss St. Claire Ex- ceptionally Fine in Their Parts
 in This Comedy.

David BeIasco's Broadway comedy, The Gold Diggers," is the starring vehicle for the Poli Players in Hart ford this week and they put on this laughable production in a way leav- ing nothing to be desired. Acting hon. ors go to Miss Winifred St Claire, leading woman, and Miss Frances Williams, the company's character star. As Gerry Lamar, a chorus girl, who, though a good girl, tries to shock stephen Lee, bachelor uncle of Wally Saunders, who wishes to wed her friend, Violet Dayne, Miss Ct. Claire does some fine acting. She is espe- cially good in the third act where she feigns drunkenness to carry out her plans, Arthur Howard as Uncle stephen" Lee is good, first as the irascable uncle and then as the tender lover. while Miss Williams has the part of a care-free chorus girl who is just concentrating" on a man. Hers is the comedy role and she makes the most of it. Frank McHugh has the juvenile lead opposite Marian Arnold. Although on but a moment, Lillian Bryce as Cissie Gray is very good, while Edmund Abbey does his uusual clever acting as James Blake, Lees lawyer friend. The other parts, chorus girls, etc, are in capable hands.
 The play itself is replete with clever lines and excellent repartee. It con cerns a group of chorus girls who de- eide that they are getting only what is due them for making themselves agreeable if they sponge on their gentlemen friends to the limit. This Of course eventually leads 10 eomplt- cations which are untangled only by the dangling of the wedding bells.
 The stage effects of this play are handled carefully and some attractive sets have been arranged. The prodnc- ton is well presented and but a little less profanity in the lines would not hurt it., although no doubt the con. rersation is not at all untrue to life among the free and easy younger set of back-stag tendencies
 Sext week the company departs from the comedy drama and presents that famous mystery drama, The Cat and the Canary"

ORLEANS RULING
 CHEERS HIOLATORS
Many Liquor Cases May Be Dropped, Is Hope

NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-Many liquor law violators of New Orleans against whom charges have been filed and their cases are still pending stand . good chance of having the charges dis missed as the result of a decision to- day by Judge Rufus D. Foster in fed- erai district court, upholding the con teHtion of defense counsel in a case be- ing tried before his court that war rants obtained by prohibition agents and used in raids prior to last Septem- Der were defective. .. s
 The decision was rendered without a written reason in the case of Henry J. Ourso. charged with operating a H. quor still. Tn defending Ourso last Friday bis attorney contended that ev- cry search warrant used in New Or leans before last September had vio- lated the search warrant law. He de- clared that officials responsible for ,the warrants used had caused the prepara- tion of printed forms copied from an old warrant used by the revenue de- partrnents which he stated did not con form to the requirements of search warrant under the .Yolstead acts
 The ruling did not affect hundreds of other persons who had previously been tried and sentenced to pay fines or sent to prison.
