TO the cab stand ordinances. The
ordinance fixes a fine of 81 for the

quent offence and prohibits autos and
cabs from standing on the east side
of French street opposite the Penn
sylvania station
Edward Krause appeared before the
department regarding the auto and
cab stand at the French street sta
ton. He asked for a space for the
autos for hire. President Sparks said
that he found autos yesterday stand
ing two deep. Mr.. krause suggested
the idea OF having the autos back
up against the western curb In this
way the driver could watch his pas
senger
President Sparks said private cars
are not allowed to wait for passengers
along the curb OF the station side
walk in Philadelphia or Washington
Mr. Sparks said that as soon as the
law can be passed no cars win be

tion authorizing the painting Of the
names Highway Commissioners and

the automobile recently purchased BY
the court for county purposes. Mr.
Smith said that the machine was be-
ing used for other purposes than

KINCSDbONON CAST

Opera by Wilmington Talent
Will be Given for Ben
eft OF Elks
LARGE CHORUS
is WELL TRAINED

What promises 10 be musical
treat for Wilmingtonians is the pro
duction Of the opera king Solomon, .
which will be presented in the Car
rick Theatre next week for the bene-
at of Wilmington Lodge Of Elks. The
production is local in every respect.
The words were written by Joseph
A. Roney win NJ S. Brown wrote
the music. Charles I. Edwards is
director Of the chorus. The chorus
is well trained and the principals
are up to the requirements or their
parts.
Joseph +. McCullin, as King Solo
mon, has a voice Of exquisite sweet
ness. His death scene in the last act
where he is struck by lightning is
very impressive, and proves Mr.. Nc
Cullin not only a singer but an actor
of ability. Andonias, the usurper Of
the crown, will do effective singing
and give to his hearers a good ac-
count Of himself. The character Is
taken by HI. Howard Carver, who
needs no introduction to the public as
a singer nor as an actor, as he has
proven his ability many times in
professional way.
Miss Edith Robh is new to the pub
Tic outside of the choir OF West Pres1
byterian Church, but as Bethsaby, she
will surprise the public. not only with
her beautiful voice, but with her dra-
matte ability.
Nathan, the prophet, is a beautiful
character and effectively portrayed
by A. II. Coverdale Nathan, with
Bethsaby, brings the news to David
of Andonias usurping the crown. Da-
vid is dazed and overcome BY the
news. The character of David Isl
taken by new conner in musical
circles, II. Harrington Jones, who has
fine baritone voice and who prom
ises to be numbered among the lead
ing soloists of the city before long.
That beautiful scene where Abisag
is announced by the heralds, and en-
ters with her train OF escorts while
Solomon sings Behold My Bride is
a striking one and one of the features
of the production. Mrs. Jean Ogle
MCCLELLAN essays the role of Abisag
and as one of the leading sopranos of
the city she needs no introduction
The High Priest is sang by Luther
Saltzgiver. He is a wonder 10 both
chorus and principals. and he is go
ing to surprise the public with his ef-
fective low voice.

Attractions in fhe City Theatres

In opinion Of the audience, which
witnessed the first performance OF
the Man of the Hour by the Ira
Hards Stock Company, at The Play
house last night, and the audience
was the largest of the present stock
season, Wilmington never saw a bet
ter production Of the popular play.
When il is remembered that il was
never presented here before except
by high priced travelling companies
this means much. The capable stock
company, augmented by three new
members and the play equipped with
new scenery, gave production that
ranked with those presented at $3.50
and So. Manager Hards had promised
q high-priced production at the
popular prices charged at The Play
house during this engagement and lie
kept his word.
Wilmington has never seen a bet-
ter or cleaner cut Interpretation of
the part of Alwyn Bennett, who is
elected mayor and becomes the man
OF the hour, than that given by Boyd
Nolan, leading man OF the company.
MIR. Nolan has a much better oppor-
tunity for acting in this production
than he had in the opening one, and
he makes the best OF il. Miss Ina
Hammer showed her versatility as
well as her ability, for her part OF
Dallas Wainwright was in every way
different from the one which she
played in Green Stockings but she
was equally strong and the audience
was delighted. Miss Belya Morreli
also had a much more pretentious
part than in the opening play, and
she demonstrated TO Wilmington
what numerous people in other places
have known for a long time, that she
Is a decidedly capable little actress.
Miss Isabel OMadigan, as Mrs. Ben
nett, the mother OF the mayor, was.
Of course, capable. for she Is un-
questionably one Of the best character
women on the stage today.
Naturally the parts OF the roval
politicians occupy much of the
thought OF the audience during the
play, and the parts Of James Phalen
and Richard Horrigan have never
been seen in more capable hands in
this city than in the hands OF James
Hester and Robert Lowe. the latter a
new man. Charles Latte. Howard
Sidney, Charles Setter, Fred A. Huxt-
able, Joseph Barker and Miss Mar
garet Vale made the most of the
parts assigned them and were excel
lent in every way. Harry Maitland,
who is another new man, made a
favorable impression in the part Of
Charles Wainwright. The attraction
Will be presented each evening and
