is making a big hit at the Garrick
Theatre this week. He Is ably sup
ported by Miss Ray Bailey, and they
from a very clever team. Both are
comedy experts. and their dialogue

Illuminated by electricity. One OF the
features also is an elevator. which

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Since man began 70 hoard wealth
and use It for evil purposes, there
have been stories written about the
greed for gold. The great William A.
Brady drama, "The Dollar Mark, +"
has created much comment The
real theme Of the story is the love OF
man for a woman and his struggle
against the millionaire. who Is try
ing to gain control Of the cobalt
mines. The woman is worth the strug-
gle and the man is better man for
having been tested in the fire. His
real character manifests itself and
the woman, who wins him is justly
proud of having such a strong right
arm to guide her through life after
his first victory against the dollars
of the man who wants TO down him.
There is some realism out OF ordinary
IN this story. but right wins it always
does in the end.

"THE MIDNIGHT GIRL

iNe lucal woman u lhc paluhcfs rs
a blonde. Eve, Venus, Helen of Troy
all the celebrated beauties of antiquity
and mythology are invariably represent
cd as blondes-only Cleopatra escaped IL.
The reason is no doubt that the very
coloring OF the blonde her fair white
skin, her light blue, gray or violet eyes
suggest in her the possession and em-
bodiment of all that is womanly. Some
persons declare that blondes appeal to
the imagination TO the heart and TO the
soul, and brunettes to the senses; that
the former are sentimental, sweet, mod
est. good tempered, obedient, nay angel
ical-whereas brunettes are strong MUD
ed, assertive, conceited, quick tempered,
passionate, often revengeful. However
this may be, most women desire to be
blondes and the proof Of it is that
whereas a blonde never dyes her hair
black, many brunettes dye their golden.
On the stage the ladies' of the ballet
and the chorus wear blonde wigs and
the only possible reason to give for this
is that managers believe they viii look
more attractive to the audience.
In the modern melodrama. the ingenue
is a blonde and the adventures or vii
lainess is dark-especially in England
where every member OF the cast must
be well labeled from the beginning. If
the villainess were a blonde, the gal
lery would take her for the heroine,
and things would get terribly mixed
Poets are quite as partial as artists
TO blondes. Petrarch's sonnets were ad-
dressed to the blonde and blue eyes
Laurs. The ancient Greeks used TO cali
young blondes "Children of the Gods"
Blondes especially appeal to men of the
south and Latin countries on account Of
their varity. When Miss Louise Mink,

leading roles in "The Midnight Girl"
which appears at the Playhouse Satur-

ISS GEORGE AT
PLAYHOUSE TONIGHT

This evening, The Playhouse VIII Of
fer its patrons, one Of, ii not the most
impoi an dramatic events of the season
in Miss Grace George in "The Truth
lt was with no little difficulty that
the management of the house was able
TO secure Miss George. Great stars are
not always easy to obtain when they
are sure of engagements in the big cit
les and the big cities were anxious for
Miss George after her great success in
New York. But she has been secured
and Wilmington is to have the pleas
ure of seeing one performance.
The management Of the theatre takes
pleasure in announcing as well as rec
ommending this attraction for it is one
about which there cannot be the slight
est doubt. Miss George is known
throughout the world as an actress OF
rare ability and the play has been pro-
nounced by the critics and above all by
the public who. after all is said, are
the best critics, to be the best play
which Clyde Fitch ever wrote and when
the number Of his successes is remem-
bered it can be seen that this is a rather
bread statement, but there is no doubt
about it. There is something about the
play which is different from any other
which has been seen and it was Just be-
cause of this difference that it was Sc
lectcd as the vehicle in which Miss
George is TO display her talents this
season. II might be described as a play
which is different from others interpret
ed by an actress who is considerably
different from others and the two form
strong and splendid combination.
Nothing has been left to be desired
in the way of a production. The mere
fact that il is under the direction of
Winthrop Ames. director of the Little
i Theatre ia New York, the man who is
/ known far and wide as one of the lead
ing directors in the world is a sufficient
p guarantee OF both the artistic and the
practical side of the production for they
are not always the same. The artistic
effects may be looked after and vet the
production lack completeness through
some omission Of a minor detail but not
so with Mr.. Ames. When he has put on a
show it is complete throughout.
The company is the same excellent
organization which supported Miss
/ George in New York, an organization
which contains a number of members
who are fully capable of being stars on
their own account had they not been Sc
lected 10 take part in the presentation of
] this excellent attraction and some Of
whom no doubt will be stars in the very
near future.
The sale of seats so far has been large
but some good ones remain and those
who have been seeking a first class at
traction, with a star Of known ability.
and a metropolitan cast. will find it in
"The Truth" Nothing better viii be-
seen at the Playhouse or for that mat
ter iu any other theatre this season.

Berlin, July 4.-Chicf Justice Piaschke, who was seat by the Prus- sian ministry oi justice to study American methods, reports that the only feature ot American justice ser luusly worthy of imitation Is the treatment of juvenile criminals. H4 says the Americans have discovered how to turn juvenile criminals into useful men by paying great attention tc their physical development, and in the workshops by troubling more as to their technical education than as to the actual value of the work produced.
 The chief justice and his commis- sion advise against initiating thc American system of eStabllshih2 baths, as German gymnasium author ities believe the German system o1 employing youths mainly in product i've work is right, because it shows them they can earn living.
 The commission was impressed by the American prison libraries. which will be initiated on a smaller scale in Germany.
 The system in the United States oi special educational establishments for youthful criminals senteced to net less than one year-s~->c Snsdered hardly just to offenders serving shorcr terms. However, one eXperl- mental station of this kind will be started in Prussia.

 These tests showed that careful breeders in the Carolinas are produc- ing cotton fully equal in almost every respect to the average deltas of tha same length. Contrary to the prevail ing opinion they showed that several strains now grown in commercial quantities in the southeast are less "wasty' than average dcltas, although they are not so strong. These varieties have the added advantage of being earlier, of bearing larger bolls, and of being more prolific than delta types. Since the 1913 crop ill the delta suf- fered little from the weevil. and since many spinners still retain a prejudice agains upland staples, serious sit uation now confronts the growers of these cottons. For this reason all growers and spinners should be in tere ested in the results of these tests.
