Attractions at the Theatres

"Over Night" the clever comedy
b. Philip Bartholomae and given by
The Playhouse Players. was the at
traction at The Playhouse last night.
The audience filled the theatre ana
il was as enthusiastic as it was
large. The production is given with
the original scenery and was thor
oughly enjoyable in every way. The
play was particularly interesting be-
cause it gave the audience an op-
portunity to see The Playhouse Play
ers in roles which were generally diff
fCrent from those in which they have
been seen.
A feature of the play was the ap-
pearance of Arthur Aylesworth as
the hotel clerk. Wilmington has
seen a good many comedians, but Il
has never seen one which has been
cleverer than he. In the part OF
the hotel clerk he is a scream from
tie time that he appears on the stage
until the play is over. AT the end
of the second act where the hotel
clerk sits before the fire and plays
a guitar Is one of the best pieces Of
acting which has been seen here. Mr..
Aylesworth is welcome to Whining
ton.
Miss tdna Hibbard as Elsie Darling
one cf the wives who gets in a muddi'
ON the honeymoon. but brings matter
out all right in the end, is charming a'
usual, and Miss tlibbard has become d
acnuine favoiite here. She is at ii
times clever and her work is Away
well done
II was decided today that the attwc
ton next week should be "Don'

Cleveland. O.. July 2s.--History repeated itself today when Chick" Evans defeat ed Ned Sawyer and l in the semi-finals of the Western Amateur Golf champion ship 1t was the score by which Evans won from Sawyer in the sem-inals last year Both are Chicago players.
 Tomorrow the same men who met in the finals at Grand Rapids last year will meet. Jimmy Standish, Jr.. of Detroit will be Evans opponent He won today over H. P. Bingham of Mayfield. and 6.
 The biggest gallery that ever saw A golf match in Cleveland followed Evans and Sawyer in their spectacular match. In but two stages of the game, from the first and at the very last, did Evans have a lead. At all other times the score favored Sawyer or was even.
 Sawyer was leading up on the tenth hole ir the morning round. Evans cut it down to even the seventeenth, but Sawyer took the eighteenth, and at the lunch hour was 1 ahead. He had a good lead in the afternoon but weakened near the finish.
 Those who have followed Chicks pre- vious events say he never played better than today.
 1t was hard match to lose, as Sawyer has been making hard fight for the title year after year and he never played d better game than he did today.
