Polly pleased a good sized audi-enco audi-enco Inst Tuesday night at the Thatcher Opera House. Although tho company did not get Into tho city until, un-til, late which necessitated a long wait on the part of tho audience, still the crowd took tho delay good-naturedly and woro tho moro pleased by what followed. The play is far superior super-ior to most of tho plays coming to Logan, and the company was composed compos-ed of betetr actors. As a result tho evening went orf with considerable eclat, livened by the appearanco ot horses, dogs, acrobats and elephants. While these things detracted from the Interest in the play, yet a big portion of the house was pleased by tho tea tures. Polly had tho advantage In the play because she was pretty and vivacious. vi-vacious. In tact, while sho played tho Polly of tho Circus part she was charming, but when sho essayed to rise to tho Polly of the minister type, sho fell considerably short ot tho port. Her emotion was anything but heartfelt. Big Jim was splendid, as was Toby. As ror tho entire performance,. perform-ance,. however, It wns tho best ot tho season. I' , k .

It the Girl In tho Kimono doesn't please tho light opera lovers on the 17th, then the press agents llo llko sixty. Everybody seems to pralso tho unlquo part that Frances Warren plays From every part ot tho country comes a criticism full of delightful promlso of a good tlmo and a clever girl. This Is what Doris Daro has to say In tho Toledo, Ohio, Times Toledo, Ohio, Times: By Doris Dare. "Tho Girl in tho Kimono" sounds llko ono kimono, doesn't it? v Really, it Isn't a bit llko that.
