The seat sale is large for this evening. Tomorrow, January 1, begins an eight day run of Edgar Selwyn's three-act farcical _play, ‘“Nearly Married,” | which ran all of last season at the amusing situations aided by Julie Herne as the young wife and a cast to the full compliment of the Alfred Cross Players and including Ralph Collier and Elsie Southern as another young and serio-comic couple; Chas. | Ross and Estelle Morton as the India | | | f Prince, a road house veeper, and his Philip Sheffield in a remarkably clever interpretation as the boy laywer. i Ruth Byron, who only plays a small part in “Under Cover,” will have the | adventuress and pretty Olive Brandt will be seen in a maid’s part. POLI PLAYERS IN “A PAIR OF SIXES” they attend the performance at Poli's. “A Pair of Sixes” is proving one of the most delightful farces that Poli patrons have seen and the manner in which they are receiving it is ample evidence of the manner in which it is being presented by the Players. TIts ' story is funny and the situations which arise during the development of the story are hilarious, to say the least. Next week's production, “Under Cov- er,” is one of the most successful play ever written by the versatile and pro- lific plavwright, Roi Cooper Megrue.
