aTHE LAM OF THE LANp.v

Patrons of The Playhouse last night
saw "The Law of the Land" a
play by George Broadhurst. It is one
of the strongest shows ever seen in
Wilmington. but the best part OF the
whole attraction is that it is given
by a company second to none seen
here recently. II is headed by Ade-
laide French and Coates Gwynne, and
there is not a weak spot in the cast
Miss French is so we'll known from
her success in Madame X" that she
needs no comment in Wilmington ex-
cept to say that in "The Law Of the
Land" which offers her a part the
equal Of any which she has yet played,
she does splendid work and sustained
her reputation as a finished artist. Mr..
Gwynne as Geoffrey Morton also
makes the most OF a decidedly strong
part. and in the hands Of anyone but
an actor Of above ordinary ability il
would simply be impossible. The en-
tire company is all that could be de-
sired. ]. G. Matthews is excellent as

This PAIR Innocent
OF POSTOFFICE ROBBERY

Two men, who were arrested yes
terday at Middletown on suspicion of
dynamiting the postoffice safe at st.
Michaels, Nd, and securing $4,000 in
stamps and 800 in cash, were re-
leased after the railroad police had
conferred with Postoffice Inspector
Plummer, who is working on the case,
although the robbery did not occur
in his territory.
The men were coming north from
Cape Charles, when arrested by Doris
and Palmer. two Pennsylvania rail-
road policemen. Inspector Plummer
was satisfied that they we're not the
guilty parties, so they were let go.
Inspector Plummer does not believe
the "yeggs" have left that section OF
the country, but that they are in hid
ing, awaiting a favorable opportunity
to come north. A warning 10 post
masters of Delaware was issued by
the inspector last night.

AT THE MAIRSTIC.

Il would not go so far as to say
that Shakespeare is dead, but he is
in a deep sleep, and while in this cata-
leptic state ! have decided to keep
abreast OF the times, and therefore
have gone into motion pictures. I'm
less an actor is freak or has some
thing of a freakish nature to present,
there is no place for him on the
stage today"
In these words, Robert Mantell,
perhaps the greatest living exponent
OF Shakespearean drama, summed up
his reason for leaving the legitimate
drama and Shakespearean roles to
appear on the screen for William
Fox, under a contract TO be featured
in a series OF modern dramas. the
first Of which is "The Blindness of
Devotion" at the Majestic today and
tomorrow.
This famous man, whose King
Lear" and Richard the Third" and
score OF other heavy Shakesperean
characters are known the world
around, sat on the veranda of his pa
latial home at Red Bank. n. j.. as he
discussed his reasons for finally sue
cumbing TO the lure Of the motion
picture.
