iDRiLUNG!
There are several kinds
ot drilling but the kind
the kind that makes the
farm pay is the drilling
which makes water avail
able. There is no need
of a dry farm. TKe task
is not so great as you
may think. I have had
years of experience and
understand the well busi
ness thoroughly.
For dash and ginger, get up and go
some comedy, "Polly and me" as pre
sented by the stock company at the
Pastime theater last night should
have the honors. While the play is a
comedy alright, still there la a strong
interesting plot, and touches of pa
thos here and there that relieves the
comedy element. Of course there Is
a love story and a good one too. that
la most gracefully played by Nanyon
Seward as Mary, and Mr. Russel Har
rison as Julian. The many friends of
Miss Steward wore present in force
and gave her a hearty greeting. 'Her
conception of her part was natural
and artistic and Mr. Russell Harriiion
gave splendid support
Miss Bertha Natlno was, as she al
ways is, clever in the part of Mrs.
Hildebrandt. While the role is by
far the most difficult one in the cast.
It received an exceptionally fine por
trayal In the hand of thu
pllshed actress.
"Polly" was "there" all the time and
Miss Lucile Tucker seemed the part
Itself. Her "hit" was marked
throughout the entire audience and
her song in act four delighted all.
Mr. Leonard was well cast and Nor
man Gray was happy In the tough old
Jim Brandon. Carl De Vere came In
for a large share of applause in the
two widely different characters of
"Biddy" and "Jake". Mr. Curtlss is
a host himself as "Peter" and It Is
safe to say that the house will be
packed at each performance of the
piece. Thursday night the same cast
will be seen in the story of the early
days, !'The Girl of the Golden West."
