the Garrick this week. The Illusion. for
such IT is. of course. is one of the best
that has been seen in Wilmington in a
long while and more than one mind has

Manager Dockstader has prepared a bill
for next week that is likely to make the
Garrick an important contributor to the
entertainment of the 5000 or more vsi-
tors who are expected in attendance upon
the Veterans Legion Convention.
