IN "CONFUSION''
DUPONT Puff and Powder Club
TO Present Comedy on
January l9

The second season Of the DUPONT Puff
and Powder Club will be inauemated
January i9 by a production OF one OF
the best comedies known to tho 1914
stage, viz: Confusion comedy that
is real comedy and not all farce Every
line OF the play, every word that is ut
tered means something, and "Confu
sion is confusion indeed when the plot
is carried ont TO the limit, as it is by
the cast selected by the Dupont Puff
and Powder Club for the productions,
which are 20 be given Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, January 1921.
Edward s. Grant Of Philadelphia has
been rehcarsing the cast for "Confu-
SION and has expressed his absolute
confidence in the ability of those select
ed for the several parts 10 present the
comedy in an exceptionally acceptable
manner. He has further stated that
Wilmington has never heretofore failed
hri and that he therefore can bank on
Wilmington standing behind him in this
venture.
The plot of Confusion" is a simple
one. but It lends i;self TO some OF the
best situations ever thought Of for com
edv work For individual efforts some
comedies might be better. but "Confu-
sion" is one OF those comedies which
gives every character portrayed a good
chance TO show just how good it is. By
plav counts for whole lot in comedy,
and by-pay Cuisines" as il is called
professionally. figures most strongly IN
Confusion"

The dupont Puff and Powder Club
one year ago gave the Wilmington
public an opportunity of seeing just
hat Wilmington amateur talent
could do, when it presented the com
edy Facing the Music" one of the
most laughter-producin comedies
ever seen on the boards in this city
and one of the special class of come
dies which require special talent to
produce them acceptably.
This season the club had been a BIT
more ambitions. and has selected
l"Confusion" as it's initial performance
proposing to follow it up later will
a presentation of the comic opera
I'Patience," just to show what loca
talent can do. The caste for 'Pa'
thence" is already in rehearsal, anc
the full strength of the organization
of the "Puff and Powder Club Is
well shown by the fact that botf
Confusion" and Patience" are in re
hearsal at one and the same time.
