IF 1 WAS RICH
 ENJOYABLE COMEDY
Pol Players in Play of Luxury
 Loving Wife
(By Herald Reyiewer)

An entertaining little comedy drama. savoring something of the old Horatio Alger stories in which the poor young man, starting under the financial handicap of nothing eventually meets a person of wealth who takes an interest in him and puts him on the path toward suc- cess, is being offered this week by the Poll Players who present If l Was Rich." The company contin- ues it's excellent work and again this week the leading man, Vincent Colman. playing in a supporting role. really does some of the best work he has yet exhibited The lead this week is taken by Robert Perry and that by Colman is the comedy lead. Coleman's part is that of a wise cracking, four-flush- ing radio announcer, "INL, the Voice of the Great White Way" His modesty would have made P. T. Barnum flush.
 Miss Patsy Ann O'Naal. stricken suddenly with appendicitis yester- day, was operated upon at the Hartford hospital and an under study was called in at the last min ute. She did exceptionally well.
 If I Was Rich" deals with 9 pa tient young married man whose adorable little wife has the unhap- py faculty of a love for luxury and a determination to live beyond their means. So great Is her love for lux ury that she accepts a valuable bracelet from former admirer and this, in the end almost brings about a break between herself and her husband. Miss Grant as the wife is absolutely true to her part. Trim, buoyant, thinking only of pleasure and riches and then poutins prettily and begging off coyly when things go wrong. she does her part to per lection. Robert Perry as her ador- ing husband who suffers in silence until finally aroused by finding that his wife had been Cheating is good in the sympathetic role. Tn the final denouement however, he

A pardon issued late yesterday by
