''THE WINNING OF
n4nnnna rvl

"THE WINNING OF
BARBARA WORTH"
"The Winning of Barbara Worth"
Mark Il. Swans drama, based on the
famous novel OF Harold Bell Wright,
was the attraction at The Playhouse
last evening. and will continue this
evening and tomorrow afternoon and
evening. Those who like a strong
Western play. with real people and
real situations. will find il in this one.
There is excellent scenery and the
company is in every way capable. 1t
is a play with plenty Of action where
the man who wins is compelled TO do
things.
Burton Robbins. who will be re-
membered for his excellent work, with
the Hards Stock Company, in this
city, last season, is the Willard Holmes
of the piece, the man who is compell-
ed to do the real work in order to win
the girl he loves Mr. Robbins again
demonstrated what the people of Will
mington have known for a long time,
that he is a decidedly capable actor
He does splendid work at all times
I Miss Elka Marie Diehl is the Barbara
Worth of the piece. and Miss Diehl was
a favOrite with the audience from the
time that the curtain went up and she
gave an excellent Interpretation Of the
part
J. G.. Kline. as Jefferson Worth, and
Frank Ramsdell. as James Greenfield
the rivals In ansirrigation project, are
both clever, especially in the strong
scenes. Jacob Kingsbury, as Pablo
Garcia, did as good a piece of work
as has been seen here in a long time.
Gertrude Barker as Helen Blair. Jack
Mosher as Abe Lee, Earl Burnside. as
Texas Joe. and Eddie Black, as Pat
Mooney, were all capable i'm their
parts.
The scenery Is all that could be de-
sired, and the play has been given a
splendid mounting. The book and the
play themselves are too well known to
need description or comment. It Is
enc of the strongest stories which has
ever been written, and il has made an
unusually strong play. There is no
reason why it should not play to ex-
cellent business for the remainder of
the engagement for after Witnessing
this show no one will regret having
spent an afternoon or evening az The
Plahouse 1t is in every way worth
while.
