HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. TO-NIGHT’S ATTRACTIONS.

Those desiring to know the fate of the thousand or more girls who seek fame at the footlights in the big city should see ‘‘Polly of the Follies,” with Constance Talmadge at His Majesty’s Theatre. The star pcurtrays the role of Polly Meacham, country girl of broad ambitions and little experience, in her own inimitable style of humour. One of the usual features, the picture presents is the training of a Broadway Beauty Chorus for the annual opening of the Follies. Admirers of Alice Joyce will find much pleasure in her latest starring attracttion, “To the Highest Bidder.” This time Miss Joyce plays the part of a young girl who is trying to save her old home for her little brother. Finding that she cannot keep up th payments. she conceives the plan of selling her services for five years. So she goes to the highest bidder, who turns out eventually to he the man who held the mortgage over her head. Then romance has its sway, the matters are adjusted, and the girl becomes mistress of the homo that only through a hard fight she tfianaged to keep from being sold over her head. No advance in prices. Box plan at Upton’s Music Store.
