Fascinating little.Mae Marsh is the star of the Goldwyn feature, "Polly of the Circus," the piece de resistance at the Bang's, starting on Saturday. This picture will be as interesting to the youngsters as it will be to adults on account of the actual circus displays reproduced. Polly, left motherless, is reared by an old clown named Toby as a circus girl. During one of her daring bare-backed stμnts she has a;. ■ fall, and is left behind in a small town. It chances that the house she was taken to when injured was the residence of the young minister,', John Douglas. As Polly is sixteen and beautiful and the minister twenty-five and a. bachelor a pretty romance develops, later turning to tragedy. One of the most amazing scenes is the burning of the big circus tent and the stampede of the audience, while the race course scene where Polly, in a thrilling r?ce - rides the winning horse, holds the . audience .breathless. . * : ' . * "■ * '.

In the meantime their father had died and the elder brother, Roger ; needs, inherits his estate. '. The story teile how the child (Madge Evans) brings tie brothers 'together again. The filial scene s is very tense. George MacQuarrie does some fine work as the wealthy brother and altogether the c toiy a fine one.
