POLI PLAYERS “EAST LYNNE” An Accident Avoided—How Madge Explained the Psychology of “Being Guided” Across the Street. “Is this Mrs. Graham?” “Yes. Mrs. Smith?” “Yeg.? I flashed a joyous glance at Dicky. Our outing was safe as far as turb it. After my experience Mrs. Smith I knew no request of hers would have any effect upon any plan of mine. “Pardon me for calling you up so early,” the smooth tones wof Mrs. Smith went on, “but I wanted to be sure of catching you in. My masseuse telephoned me late last night that she would be unable to give me my hour today, and I wanted to reach you be- fore you made any other engagement. ‘Will our original appointment be all right?” “I am very sorry.” T used the con- ventional phrase without thinking until I saw Dicky’s wide grin. “But my husband and I are just taking the train for a long day in the country, and it will be impossible for me to get back in time to meet you.” “Oh! dear!” to my astonishment the smooth tones took on a tinge of impatience. ‘I have some unexpected cngagements for the rest of the week.

MIDGET AT KEENEY'> HAS OPERATIC VOICE Numbered among the vaudeville at- tractions at Keeney's this week are Seymour’s Happy family, a remark- ably clever dog act; Charles Darto and Sister, novelty Juggling and Dol- 1y, the ladge midget with the grand opera voice. These three acts have exceptional merit and they deserve the patronage of local theater-goers. The motion picture feature for to- night in the rural play, “Country Mouse.” It is a great story of New England life with a vein of ‘numor that makes it most pleasing. “The Money Gulf” and “The IFable of the Statesman” will also be on this eve- ning's program. “The Fight Hope,” as played by Laura Hope Crews and a cast of cap- able people, will be the photo-play special for Wednesday and Thursday while the Big Four attraction, “The Turn of the Road,” with eminent Vit~ agraph players in the important roles will be shown Thursday and Friday. “Kilmery,” Lenore Ulrich in the lead, is scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

And yet it is Dick Graham who straightens everything out, for he gets the tip on the big story, the story which proves Mahlen, the banker, a crook. And Dick saves the day and old Gustave's money, and everything ends just as it should, and they all live happily ever after. “The Bubble” is just such a play as Louis Mann needs. It is filled with enough cross currents of comedy &nd tragedy to show off his powers. He gets plenty of chances to turn a laugh into a tear and make a smile choke off a sob. But Louis Mann is not the whole show by any means. Playing opposite him Mme. Auguste Burmester makes the ideal German wife,—the frugal, first-aid-to-her-husband type, the kindly, loving, ever-trusting help- mate, the woman who sticks to a man in his poverty as well as his prosperity. And then there was Miss Laura Walker who pgrtrayed the daughter ! so e away nd wife | Francis Levison, the play should prove so popular is a mystery which has never been solved satisfactorily.
