RUN ON BANK STOPS
 AFTER TWO DAYS

Cleveland, O., March 11.-After as wig orous a run on a banking house as has ever been known in Cleveland the stam- peded depositors of the Society for Saw ings today regained their equilibrium and this afternoon the panic was over.
 In the two days and a half that the run lasted $l,250,000 was withdrawn at the rate of $1225 a minute As the ma jority of the deposits affected were small ones, hundreds amounting to less than $l00 the record made by the bank in handling the withdrawals is regarded as rema rlzable.
 Spurred on by the offer of $6G00 in re- wards 5000 of which is personally of- fered by former Gov Myron T. Herrick, president of the bank. thousands of anna teur detectives are tonight searching for the originators of the groundless rumors on which the run was based. In addi- tion, several detective agencies have been employed by the bank in the quest, as the offense is a criminal one in this state.
 It was said tonight that the bank off cers have practically located the source of the rumors which caused the run.

OPERA HOUSE
ANNOUNCEMENT
Will Play One High Class
Show One Night Each
Week This Season

The Grand Opera House, which is
controlled by John p. Harris and his
associates, will hereafter play one
high-class show each week. On all
other days during the week the ex-
cellent moving picture shows, which
have been the rule at this house.
will be continued, so that the Grand
viii have five days out of each week
for the latest and best things in the
moving picture world and one even
ing for the biggest hits of the show
world. The Grand is in an advantag-
eous position. In fact. It is able to
dictate what shows It shall play and
what shows it shall not play. BY
reason of the decision of the man
agement to play but on show eacl
week, beginning in the near future
the pick of all the great successes will
be at the disposal Of Mr.. Harris. In
this way the people of Wilmington
will have opportunity to see the big
productions from Broadway and, in
fact, all the best dramas, musical
comedies, extravaganzas, operas, min
strel shows and comedies that go upon
the road. If the Grand were in the
night in the week, the management
could not have the power of selec-
ton, but would perforce be compelled
to accept such attractions, without re-
gard to their merits, which might be
offered. But, under the arrangement
which has actually been put into
force, the conditions will be reversed
and instead Of the management bid
ding for attractions, attractions will
be bidding for the privilege of play
ing Wilmington and the Grand. The
attractions thus distinguished as hav
ing been selected by the MANAGEMENT
OF the Grand will be announced from
time to time, so that Wilmington's
theatre-goers may make their plans
sufficiently far in advance for theatre
parties and other social functions.
The established policy at the Grand
Will continue to govern the moving
picture shows at that house. This
policy, as Wilmington pleasure-seek-
ers have learned, is broad and lib
eral. II presents to patrons a show
OF wide diversity, representing the
best products, the newest ideas and
the latest development in the art of
motion photography. Great care has
always been exercised and will con-
tinue in the matter of selection of
pictures, so that the Grand's shows
will always be suitable for family par
ties TO witness. Furthermore. one
may come frequently to this theatre.
since the subjects are all changed
every day II is undoubtedly the long
est and highest class Of motion pic
ture shows in America.
