Manager Thatcher Secures One of-Gotham's Popular Plays for Next Week. VAN BUREN AS "DENBY' First Presentation Will Be Given Next Monday Night Production Touring Big Cities. One of the birscst surprises In theatri cs! circles in "Washington is the an nouncement made by Poli'ii that the play to be presented by Uie Popular Poll Players next -week will bo "tinder Cover." This remarkable drama, by Rol Cooper Megrue. is one ot the really sen sational successes of the last ten years. It ran for sir month in Boston, and j was taken to New York a year aeo last September, where It scored a phe nomal success at the Cort Theater, form erly the home or "Pes O' My Heart." It duplicated the success of "Peg" and ran for an entire year. It Is now being; !" lut, strange to say. It has not ct reached Washington. How General Manager Thatcher fcecured the stock rights to this play Is a mystery which he declines to divulge, but the fact remains that Wash ington Is to sec this genuine thriller at regular stock company prices. "Under Cocr" tells n most engaging story, and the element of mjstery In the play Is sustained from the moment the story of the smuggling of a JCOO.000 neck- lace is launcnea unm me closing episoae. when the necklace Is recovered by Its rightful owner and the real breakers of the law are brought to Justice. There Is a sensational surprise in the last act. Ti 'HE Chesapeake and Telephone Company uiiucn buvcn its greetings. May you be truly happy in this time of general rejoicing. May you go about spreading good will among your neighbors and thus gain the full spirit of the holiday. May' laughter, kindliness and forgive ness fill your hearts.

Harry Andrews, the Poll stare fllrec- tor. made a special trip to New York last sprlntr to sec -"under Cover." as no, hoped that It would be elven by the Poll-Players after It had 'bee seen at the scale of prices here. The fact that It is to be given at Poll' before It Is presented In the higher price theaters here, is causing him to congratulate himself upon having seen the play. In New York, It is promised that the Poll production will very closely approximate tho orig inal production of this striking enter tainment. A. II. Van'Buren Is to be seen In the stellar role, that of Oenby, who Is sup posed to be the smuggler of the neck lace. This part was plajod In the New York and Boston production by Will iam Courtenay.
