POLI'S OFFERING A STIRRING WAR DRAMA and in its particular field is said to be without a rival. In addition to the trained animal displays however, there is offered what is declared by compe- tent critics to be one of the high- est class and most novel arenic exhibi- tions ever given by an American cirs cus. The combination of these two distinctive forms of entertainment en- sure, it is announced, a performance that is without a dull moment from beginning to end. Tn the Cook & Wilson show especial stress is laid upon the fact that, with- out exception, the caged animals util- ized in the performance are forest born and bred. In the trained anim: exhibitions hitherto seen in the United States ,the displays have almost universally been given with animals born in captivity and lacking the fire and ferocity natural to the real jungle beasts. This has made the perform- 1ces tame and uninteresting and cre- ated a sense of disappointment among the spectator In the Cook & Wil- son exhibitions, it announced, the contrary is the fact. Although the audience is absolutely protected owing to the structural strength of the great steel arena in which the wild animal displavs are given, the per- formance is a succession of thrills, and the crowds are alternately astonished by the trained cleverness of the fero- clous beasts, or held spellbound by the daring of the trainers who fear. lessly enter the arena and compel their dangerous pupils to go through their remarkable cxhibitions The trained wild animals include 1igng. tigers, pumas, leopards, jaguars, and many other wild beasts. Thera are also notably interesting exhibitions by scheols of elephants, horses, pon. ies, donkeys and other more familiar beasts. The arenic = performance, which is given in the open rings and on the big stages, enlists the services of a notable company of rider ro- bats, aerialists and other experts in the line of athletic endeavor.

The Poli Players are well equipped to present this remark- | able play. Because an unusually large cast is necessary to present “The Story of the Rosary,” the man- | agement announces the addition of two well_known players, John Dilson and Jerry Broderick, former mem- bers of the Poli company at New Ha- ven.
