FREDERICK POOLE.

The Chinese ambassador to Great Britain after witnessing tlfe" production of “The Yellow Jacket” In London was asked by an incredulous critic whether the play was true to Chinese ideals. “So true,” he replied, "that it made me homesick” “The Yellow Jacket” vividly Illustrates the fact that human nature is the same the wide world over. Its powerful appeal to the human emotions, Its tense and novel dramatic situations, the exquisite drollery of its dialogue, Its easy humor, tender pathos and deep- tragedy made an Instantaneous Impression In the leading metropolitan centers. Mr. Frederick Poole presents "Scenes from the first act of The Yellow Jacket.’” by the kindly courtesy of Mr.

George C. Hazelton and Benrlmo, the authors, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Coburn, sole owners of the dramatic rights. For a dramatic reading of “Scenes from the first act of The Yellow Jacket* ” Frederick Poole Is unusually well equipped. By reason of 'his many years of travel in and close study of the "flowery land” he Is enabled to invest this epic making modern classic with the true Chinese atmosphere. Mr. Poole’s is the extraordinarily rare power of making popular a classical recital. His descriptions of Chinese characteristics, Chinese manners, Chinese morals, the Chinese mind, are both highly humorous and deeply pathetic. A. lengthy experience before the public has given him perfect control of his powerful voice, and even tn the more quiet moments of the play he can be readily understood In the largest auditoriums. . At the M. E. church, Wednesday evening at 7:45. Admission 50c.
