POLL PLAYERS IN
 BREEZY OFFERING
Presenting COhan'S 'LittIe
 Nellie Kelly" This Week

Little Nellie Kelly" one of the
 famous George M. Cohen's famous
 musical comedy successes is this
 weeks offering by the Poll players and it is by far the most pretentious thing they have handled this season and they handled it as they have the others-fne. Little Nellie Kelly" is one of the typical Conan sketches, light, full of snappy comedy, with plenty of song and dance specialties and catchy music throughout. As usual, the Poli artists have staged the piece perfectly. A bevy of Hart ford young women take the parts of the ladios.of the chorus and with a weeks rehCarsals to give them con- fidence they appear quite capable.
 Mary Ann Dentler as Little Ncl- lie Kelly" handled herself in true Conan style with her pleasing sing ing, clever dancing and all round performance, of course falling into the arms Of her lover in the last scene. Of course her part was that of the little working girl who catch cs the eye, then the heart of the young man whose part was played by Jay Holly. Joseph Doran, an other and wealthy suitor is given his
 best part since joining the Poli players. Elaine Temple sings and dances cleverly, Edna Earle An drews is most satisfying mother and Walter Scott Weeks is a most convincing Captain Kelly" Again Edmund Abbet scores in the char acter role and also does a bit of a
 song and dance. Another character role, that of the houselleeper, was in the capable hands of Dorothy Lord.
 Joy Ray makes big hit with his
 dancing detective" speciality and Harold Kennedy also is in the cast Baby Ruby, a Ned Weyburn pupils, makes a big hit.
 The Hartford girls in the chorus are:
 Dorothy Bolger, Georgeanna Greene, Helen Sullivan, Ethel Sulli- van, Margaret Farmer, Sadie Austin, Doris Clarke, Corinnc D. Mills, Ed na R. McNeill, Mary Austin, Flor ence Crowley and Gencvieve Crow Hey.

CHICAGO'S SEEK BANDIT
 ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE
Martin J. Durkin Today Faces First of Two Murder Charges
 Against Him.

Chicago. June GP)-The gauntlet through which Martin J. Durkin, .Chicagos sheik bandit, twice shot his way to freedom, today led him Ito the court room to face the first of two murder charges and to con- front as possible witnesses against him, three former sweethearts.
 The trial for which a special venire of 100 has been summoned, is for the fatal shooting of Edwin Shanahan, federal agent whose death started the long hunt for Dur. kin which terminated with his cap turo at St. Louis several months ago.
 Sbanahan was killed when he sur prised Durkin, sought for an auto mobile theft, in a garage here last fall. The defense contends that Durkn had a large sum of money on him at tho time, and that he shot in the belief that the agent was a bandit
 The unknown element in the trial is the testimony of the three women. Two of them the dcbonair Durkin deserted. The third is Irma Sulli- van, IS year old girl, who married the youth during a brief stop in his flight to the Pacific coast. Irma was with him when he was arrested aboard a train at St. Louis.
 Betty Werner the girl who dnsert- r,I I, h ,,.l I was in turn deserted by him, is re- lied on by the state as one of it's principal witnesses. The prosecu- ton expects to obtain from her Dur kin's story of the Shanahan shooting, although she did not witness it, Irma Sullivan may testify if it is es- abolished that she Is not Marty's lc- gal wife. For which side she will appear is uncertain. The state wants her 10 tell what Durllin related about his affairs on their fugitive honey moon 10 California.
 The third feminine figure is Ruth Ficback, who appeared after Durkin was captured, announced herself as his legal wife and obtained a di- vorce.
 The state. seeking a hanging yer diet, has a second murder charge, which if will press should Durkin be acquitted of Shanahans murder. It alleges the killing of a Chicago de- tectiye. shot 10 death with another man when police ambush went astray during a visit of DurlIin here several months before his final cap ture. Durkin claims the officer was killed by shots fired at him as he fled.

WHISPERING SMITH -LYCEUAI

Whispering smith," that master phOtoplay of the old days in western railroading featuring H. B. Warner, Lillian Rich, John Bowers and LiI- van Tashman, has been a big hit at the Lyceum where it continues to- day and tomorrow. Different than most melodramas. this is an actual history of the early railroading days, with the fights with bandits, thieves and dcspcradoes. Furthermore. Joe LeFors. former T.. <. marshal, is inc original "Whispcring Smith" and himself provided much of the data.

sheiks. In this picture Miss Rich's part calls for Consummate acting and she is at her best while vamp- ing the foreigners. The main theme of the story, however, has to do with the diplomatic and unusual manner in which her husband breaks her of her flirting habits. He proves that diplomacy is ofttiInes more ef- fcctive than cave-man methods.
 The Lyceum also takes pleasure in announcing that next Sunday evening starts the presentation of Sky rocket" featuring the much married Peggy Joyce Hopkins.
