LADY MARJORIE ERskINE DEAD
Daughter Of Earl Of Buchan Dies of
Exposure on Lonely Scottish Moor

Glasgow, Aug. 3l.-The body of a
woman on which there was a large
sum of money in notes and gold was
found in a remote spot of the Scot
fish moors last Friday. 1t has been
identified as that of Lady Marjorie
Gladys Stuart Erskine, second daugh-
ter of the Earl Of Buchan.
Lady Marjorie was a popular society
woman. She was 80 years old She
had been missing for month. The
condition of the body makes it diff
cult to discover the cause of her
death There is no evidence of foul
play, however, and it is believed that
she lost her way on the moors and
died of exposure

BIG FEATURES

English Act and Several Others
Win Merited Recognition
of Audiences

With the exception Of Cooke and
Rothert (Mr. and Mrs. Babb) every act
on the Garrick bill this week is new
TO Wilmington playgoers. Ben Beyr
and brother open in a comedy bicycle
act that is good. Bruce and Gibbons,
the Oglalalla girls. have a singing
number introducing a novelty feature.
The Alpha Troupe give a remarkable
exhibition Of hoop rolling. interpreted
with comedy. Milo Beldon and a cast
above the average presents a sketch
by Leo Dietrichstein that contributes
a delightful twenty minutes to the
bill. Cooke and Miss Rothert do their
usual eccentric singing and dancing
sketch with some variations acquired
since they were last here, and the in
PRODUCTION of a Partisan dance of tho
underworld. which has made more or
less Of an impression wherever pre-
sented. Flanagan and Edwards offer
a number "On and OFF, which is one Of
the really original features OF the sea-
son. They come on in a black face
speciality and after a lively bit of sing
ing and dancing show up in their
dressing rooms. in a bad humor with
each other and the world generally
The act improves as IL unfolds. Fred
Ginnetts English production Of "Dick
Turpn's Ride to York; made decided
impression yesterday and is the hit Of
the bill. Thirty people are in the
cast. and four horses, including
magnificent black mare. "Bess," figure
prominently in the piece. Dick
Turpin," the highwayman, is no less
important in the production than
Queen Bess." and the marvellous
training of this animal won cordial
recognition yesterday. While "DicS
Turpin" is presented by the same man
agement that offered an English act at
the house last week. it is an entirely
different production, and if anything, is
more elaborate than last weeks fea-

annoy the audience but It was plainly evi-

once and proper conduct should be en-
forced to the extremity of drastic nnea-

In spite Of the rain last night. the
boys Of the Anti-Cigarette League filed
the old Settlement house with cheer
and sunshine Long before the time
for the league to meet a crowd Of
boys gathered outside. II had been
spread among them that something
outside the usual was to take place
and lusty cheers greeted Mr.. Mack.
their leader. and his assistants as they
stepped from the car, and the club
room was soon filled with eager ex-
pectant little faces. Nor was their
enthusiasm abated, but rather in
creased, as Josiah Marvel gave them
an interesting address on Washington.
The boys gave rapt attention as Mr.
Marvel told of the tyranny to which

well he served his people when later

SURPRISES AT
OPERA HOUSE
Nelson 6 Co.'s Sketch Turns
Out to be a Condensed
Drama and is Pleasing

In the bill that opened at the Grand
Opera House yesterday there was a pleas
ant surprise In Room 49," presented bv
Charles II. Nelson aud Company. While
IL was known that the playlet was one Of
the best in popular vaudeville, no one ex-
pected to find it as dramatic as It is. The
plot is not deep but it is a simple story
OF a separated couple finding their stolen
child al work in a hotel where they chance
to meet. and being reunited through the
child. 1t is a playlet full Of what actors
and managers are pleased to call heart in
terest. Nelson and his associates. three
people in all, arc thoroughly capable.
There was another pleasant surprise in
THE title German Band offered bv the
Steinert Thomas Trio. There are two uo-
men. good looking ones. too and man
and after burlesaung little German
band the act developes into hrst-claes
sketch. There is bright and witty German
comedy, plenty of good singing and some
very graceful dancing.
In the -Four English Bellies the house Of
fers an imported diversion. A quartet Of
decidedly pretty English girls offer con
siderable dancing, some singing of excel
lent quality and enough acrobatics to show
that they can do much in that line.
Wilson and Rich who have apparently
just stepped off the end men positions Of
a minstrel show pleased all lovers OF
black-faced comedy. They have a line of
funny talk sing number Of comic songs
in telling way and dance we'll They de-
served the hit they recorded.
Eddie Foley. a singing comedian was
soon a favorite. Foley has good roper
toire of songs and he is most effective
singer. The audience gets every point Of
his songs and enjoys them.
The Harrisograph offered some excellent
moving pictrvSs which fitted in well with
the bill.
on account Of tho concert Of the Phila-
delpha Orchestra on Wednesday night
there will be no vaudeville on that even
ing but there will be a performance OF
vaudeville in the afternoon of wednesday

Charles r. Miller had not put in some
good conscientious study, with power
and brains to back il, he would not
have the large number of admirers
that he has to-day i'm Wilmington.
There were plenty of doubters when the
Avenue opened last fall. They said a
stock company could not play profit
ably an entire winter i'm a city as near
Philadelphia and as small as Whining
ton-but now the same people tell you
IF you're going to the Avenue this
week, youdd better get your tickets
early. the place is crowded every
night
Let me say one final word" said the
observer who made this speech. Mr.
Miller himself is the sort of man
one instinctively likes. and whether he
is Jack Temple. or Captain Davenport
or old Mr.. Brabazon, you feel that he
would be a man you would like to
know as a friend. You feel he really
believes in his work and its power to
teach lessons and impress truths. He
numbers some of the hest and most
socially prominent Wilmington people
among his personal friends, and they
say helis that sort OF man. Certainly
he attracts the more thoughtful and
cultured people of the city to be his
audiences"
The impressions left with all who have
seen Mr. Miller in Wilmington this sea-
son are in line with those expressed by
these words. The strength of his work
lays in his versatility. clear enunciation.
