HENRY 6 YOUNG
AT OPERA HOUSE
Local Players We're Royalty
Received in Their PIayIet
Nevada"

No more pronounced hit has been
scored at the Grand Opera House this
season than that OF Henry & Young
who are now presenting their playlet
Nevada" At each performance yes
terday the popular couple received
curtain calls and the reception accord
cd them in their home town was in
every way enthusiastic. Though they
have lived here for sometime this has
been the first opportunity which Will
mington had to see this playlet in a
local theatre.
There are two characters in the play
LEI and the story is this. Patsy Lynch
a stfanded song and dance artist and
moving picture man wanders into the
news PAPER Office of Bessie Scribbler
woman editor, mdnicurist and land
agent in Loneville, Nevada, to borrow
monCy enough TO get east. He Is mis-
taken for a stranger who came TO have
his hands manicured and eventual.
finds that the woman editor is an old
time playmate who is in just as hard
lines as the moving picture artist.
Mr.. Henry is of course, the show
man and Miss Young is the woman
editor. Both make the most out OF
both the comedy and pathos OF tho
piece and gave one Of tbe most en-
joyable performances yet given at the
Ciano Opera House. Wilmington ap-
pea. ed rather proud Of them YESTERDAY
and they deserved all Of the commen'
dauon which they received. 1t was
certainly royal home coming toi
Henry and Young.
Ire Bird Earl Trio ia still making
decided hit with their banjo playing
In fact all of the bil. is proving pop
ular, fact that is perhaps best at
tested by the record attendance whicl
has marked holy week when theatr
business in all parts of the countr!
falls off. Ths three performances 20
day will be the last opportunity TO se
the present bill as the program vii
change on Monday.

TIN ND THE JUDGE.

Judge Lindsey OF Denver, friend OF
boys, founder OF the juvenile court, tells
story that touches the heartstrings.
1t is about a boy named Tim. aged
thirteen, who would run away from
school.
Though many times admonished by
the judge and arrested for truancy
again and again, the teacher continued
70 write to the judge;
"Tim will stay out Of school to
work"
In one Of his lectures Lindsey im'
pressed upon the boy the need Of edu
cation and told him there would be
plenty Of time for work when he got
70 be a man.
"My father was a man." responded
Tim. "and he did not work. He went
of and left me and my mother. and
guess that was what killed her"
Finally one day Tin appeared II
court with a happy face. Waiting un.
IN the session was over. he asked the
Judge for a private interview.
After Lindsey had taken the boy
into his private chambers Tim pulled a
paper out Of his pocket and gave it to
the Judge
Said the boy: "Now. Judge. I'm going
to be in school regular You need not
lecture me any more. I've got that
DONE
Lindsey looked at the paper. 1t was
a receipted bill for $50 from a Denver
monument firm for a headstone
The judge understood.
He said. MY boy. is that what you
have been doing all these inonths|

mothers grave, judge" said the poor
orphaned Kid wiping his eyes with
the sleeve Of his ragged coat.
"You see. Judge. she done a lot for
me. That's all can do for her now"
Surely Garfield had the right feeling
when he said he wanted to lift his hat
TO every unkempt urchin he met on
the street because Of the wonderful
possibilities that might lie under the
boys ragged jacket.

My attention has been called 10 your edi-
torial comment unon the report Of the
temperance committee mt tho recent ses-
sion OF the Wilmington annual Confer
ence which comment appeared I'm yes
terday's edition OF vour paper.
Permit me TO call your attention to the
fact -that you did not corroc.y quote the
language Of the report Tho correct lam
guago in that part Of the report to which
you refer Is as follows: 1--WE doploro the
tendency OF many newspapers. especially
OF certain OF those IN Baltimore and WI
mington." etc The omission Of the words,
''of certain OF" in your quotation puts an
entirely different construction u on the
report from that intended by the COM
mittee 1t is quite true that at least
two newspapers In Baltimore city and
one In Wilmington have been guilty OF
the abuses complained Of i'm the report
but that all the newspapers in either city
are likewise guilty IS IN no sense true,
and the temperance committee of which
the writer was chairman desires to send
abroad no such impression.
I trust you will see IL to give whatever
space in your paper is necessary for a
correct quotation OF the report, and am
Yours very truly,
