COMEDY DRAMA IS WEEK'S OFFERING Poli Plagers Do Well in “The Butter and Egg Man” (By the Herald Reviewer) Once again the innocent, pink cheeked country bumpkin, fresh from the small town, straying into New York to seek fame and fortune, | like a sheep wandering into a den of wolves, succeeds in outwitting the clever ‘“city slickers” and out of an apparent fraud make at the same time turns the tables on | those who would trim him. course, the aid of the charming heroine, attracted to him first be- cause of his wholesome innocence, is essential. This, in brief, sums up tation by the Poli Players—"The Butter and Egg Man.” The show, in three acts and four scenes, has to to with a couple of would-be New York theatrical pro- ducers who induce a young man from the country to sink his entire fortune in their show. They have the drama—and they didn't even own the rights on that, as subse- quent events proved—and the young man, described by themsclves as ‘a butter and egg man,’ puts up | the money. The play is a fallure at |flrst and the youth buys out their !nghts. takes in another partner and with the aid of a pretty girl who | has befriended him, puts the thing |across. In the end, when the real author is suing for royalties, the | butter and egg man ‘“permits” the ]orlglnal producers to buy back their | interest at a handsome figure and the show ends in the discomfort of | the “city slickers’ 'who find them- selves cleverly outwitted. It's a light play, but is clean and entertaining and very well enacted. Edmund Scott Weeks has a part especially well suited to his type. He is the arrogant, burly New York producer who seeks to put it over on the boy and Fanny Ray, as his wife, has a clever ‘*“‘wise-cracking” role which she fills Robert Perry, as another crooked | producer, plays up well to Weeks' | part and Miss Grant, as their clerk, and Vincent Coleman as the country boy, have the romantic leads. Lillian Shrewsbury, substituting for Miss O'Neal, proves a temperamental | leading lady in the supposed show and Adrienne Farle injects some peppy comedy in her small role. Others who do well in their respect- ive parts are Helen Hines, Matthew | Callahan, Cecil Benham, Louis Smith, and Jay Ray. Again especial | | mention must be made of the char- acter acting of Edmund Abbey. His role this week is entirely new for him. He appears as a more or less effeminate hotel clerk who is stage struck and anxious to invest his i money in a show. His part alone is good for many laughs. Next week the play will be “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney."” Colonel Knox, Heroic Figure of Army, Dies Washington, May 17.—(#—Col- onel Thomas Taylor Knox, Indian {fighter and recipient of the dis- ‘(m;.'ulsh\‘d service cross for heroism ! during the Spanish-American war, is | dcad at 79 years.

Later, | during the war with Spain, al- Yhou"h gravely wounded while lead- {ing his men near Santiago, he con- ‘lmuod in command and for this | bravery was awarded the cross for | distinguished service. He will be buried tomorrow in Arlington ceme- tery with full military honors. | Miss Eby Neri Betrothed To Dr. V. F. Mendillo !

The gov- crnor, who has been confined to his house for a week with an injured leg muscle, returned to his office vesterday, but spent only two hours there.

Meanwhile, postal authorities, who have been endeavoring to trace the source of a package of dyna- cutive’s mail, today turned thefr at- tentions to Plymouth, Vanzetti’s home town, where a stick of dyna- mite was found last night in a wastebasket at the post office.
