ADJUSTMENTS
CLEVER BELLE ARCHER TO
NIGHT.

NIGHT.
The cynic and pessimiss continually
cry out the decadence of the stage. The
cynic and the pessimist continually
crop up and have their little way, and
then resolve themselves back into that
atmosphere of innocuOus desuetude
from which they emerged just to nave
their little fling at other peoples taste
and desires The cynic and the pe5si-
mist must be closely related to the dys-
peptic The stage in .ts support, whole
some entertainments are just as neces-
sary as wholesome food, it is the trash
that decays. Sound diet is always IN
demand. An example Of the suryivai
of the fittest is the great success that
has been achieved by HOyt's latest'and
best comedy. "a COntented Woman" 1t
has hit the popular fancy. and being
wholesome and. entertaining 1t does not
produce dyspepsia, and silencesi the
cynics and pessimists. Miss Belle
Archer has been engaged for the title
role of this. HOyts latest creation; she
is dainty, pretty and clever. and plays
the title role with a vim that is sur
prisingly clever Her delineation OF inc
woman who is elected to fill the chall
as mayor, and afterwards refuses TO III
the office and abdicates in favor OF 7hei
husband, is rare piece OF comedy
The speeches are in Hoyt's happiest
vein. The company selected is remark
able for its strength, both in numbers
and quality. The scenic effects are NJ
to the Hoyt standard, and the play VII
be produced here in the same manner
as It was given in New York. This par
ticular is on the Hoytian plan. Wha
is good enough for New York is gooC
enough fon Wilmington, and this fac
will be appreciated by the patrons o
the Grand Opera House this evening.

amount to much.
My husband didn't hurt me a great
DEAL" she said.
"Oh, he didn't, eh,s commented Pros

wrist and why did you go to the hos

That was an accident, replied the.
woman. II tried to grab the plate"

plate at him and It broke. He picked up
the pieces to throw them out of the win

and he held up his hand with a section Of
the plate in it to ward Oh the blow. His
wife struck the Jagged edge Of the plate!
with her wrist and that's how she was
cut. Judge Hudspeth convicted him.

speech and then introduced the well
known humorist, J. s. Burdette. The
