GREAT CROWD FLOckS
TO SEE 5ONNIE'S PHOTO
AT JAC0BYS DEPT STORE

miss Bonnie Burr appeared as her
natural self on the stage Of W. L.
Dockstaders Garrick Theatre yester-
lay afternoon and last night, and was
given an ovation by audiences that
crowded the theatre at both perfor-
mances. So great was the crowd de-
string to see Miss Burr that hundreds
were turned away at night, they being
unable to get inside the theatre. Miss
Burr was given an ovation at both
performances, and made a pleasing
little speech telling Of her experien-
. ces. She said the art of appearing
natural, no matter whate character
she attempts to assume is her great
est asset in defying detection.
Miss Burr appeared on the stage in
a beautiful French gown Of cream
tint, trimmed with gold, and with hat
to match. She laughingly said that
the people OF Wilmington have been
easier for her to elude apparently,
than those of other cities.

company Of eight artists, who make
Of it dramatic gem.
There are many treats on the pro-
gram. including clever Edwina Barry,
diminutive comedienne, and one of
vaudeville's greatest stellar lights.

Then there are spencer and Will
