But few even Of the most regular
patrons of The Playhouse realize the
amount of most carefully detailed
work necessary i'm the production of
the metropolitan successes being pre-
sented at The Playhouse each week
by William A. Bradys personally Sc
lected stock company. II is these
minor details so necessary and yet
unnotced that would fairly scream
their absence if ommtted and spell
failure in large capital letters.
II is these details that are left to
the direction OF Warren Munsell. who
is appearing this week in sweet
Lavender" as "Mr Bulger." the
poetic hairdresser, and who has been
playing an important part each week
since his initial appearance here in
Mr. Bradys great success. Sinners"
IL is Mr. Munsel's task to see that
not only is the scene perfect but to see
that every accessory lis on hand for
each performance and that proper
costumes, wigs. etc. are provided for
each play. This, as can readily be
Imagined. is a mammoth task aside
from playing a part and standing in
the wings. or first entrance. with a
copy of the play. following each line
and ever ready with the proper cue
should one of the actors stumble verb
ally. as even the very best actors do.
Although comparatively a very
young man, Mr.. Munsell has had a
vast experience in stagecraft. and he
frankly confesses that his footlight
debut consisted of initiating the bay
ing of a pack of blood-thirsty blood
hounds in a road production of I'm
Gle Toms Goblin. SO well did Mr.. Mum
sell render the canine chorus, that a
week later when box office receipts
and the cast dwindled on the kero-
sene circuit, "Smon Legree." also
proprietor and manager of the show
insisted that he double in the role Of
Little Eva"
From the start Mr.. Munsell has al
ways studied close as to detail. which
has been shown in some of the larg-
est Broadway productions. Even in

amples of Mr. Munsells scientific
treatment to detail which might es-

CITY Interested
IN dollar DAY"
Merchants Combine to Give
Everybody Bargains on
Next Wednesday
EXPECT MANY
VISITORS THAT DAY

Retail merchants throughout the
city are becoming more enthused
about the Dollar Day Sale on March
3. as they find their customers con-
stantly inquiring about the proposed
feature sale.
Wilmington. il is pointed out, has
gained somewhat of a national repu-
tation as a city where Dollar Day"
sales are eminently successful.
The Chamber of Commerce office Is
asked almost daily by merchants from
cities throughout the country TO ex-
plain how the Dollar Day" sales are
conducted and to what their success
can properly be attributed. In every
instance one answer has been given.
namely that if Dollar Day" sale is
TO attain results the merchants must
offer genuine bargains.
While ordinarily different mer-
chants are constantly holding their
special bargain sales from time 10
time and at such sales purchasers
can get extraordinary values, Il is felt
that a cooperative bargain sale on
the part of all merchants the same
day is an event calculated to appeal
TO the public far and wide. The
unique feature of Dollar Day" is
that the merchants offer standard
goods at greatly reduced prices. Such
price reductions make II certain that
every buyer can find genuine bar
gains in almost any line one could
name.
II is in this respect that Dollar
Day differs from other bargain sales.
Customarily on bargain days each in
dividual merchant offers certain ar
ticles at reduced prices The buyers
who happen to need these particular
articles or who feel tempted by the
unusual price, get bargains. But on
Dollar Day" all retail merchants are
offering bargains at the same time.
and in practically all lines, with the
result that whatever purchase anyone
desires TO make he is practically as
sured of securing at a big reduction.
Taking all the stores into considera
tion, one would be safe in saying that
il would be difficult TO name an article
which one could not buy at a reduction
on "Dolar Day" in Wilmington. by
reading all the merchants announce
mcnts, which will appear in these col
umns prior TO dollar Day" shoppers
can best learn to buy to advantage
March 3.
From inquiries that have already
reached merchants from their out of
town customers, the special sale is al
ready attracting attention outside O
Wilmington. Several of the local mer
chants report that while visiting the cit,
such shoppers have asked particularly
about "Dolar Day" and have expressed
their determination TO come to vii
mington that day 20 make necessar.
purchases Many of them enumeratel
the surprising bargains they secured a
the August "Dollar Day" and asserte
that they were glad of the opportunit.
Of making purchases at another "Dolla
Day" sale
II is also proposed to invite the farm
ers to make some special concession o.
next Wednesday in order that "Bargai
Day" may be general throughout tn

sell has insisted that il be real palate
tickling food, be il the spaghetti OF
Old England. Steaming pots Of cof-
fee and tea are utilized TO such an eff
feet that an audience is made to feel
the actual pangs OF hunger When
with Mr. Brady's production of Way
Down East, Mr. Munsell went to great
pains in order to secure real maple
syrup which was boiled into sugar at
the snow-covered camp in the sap
woods and he also had doughnuts
made from a receipt famous for gener-
ations i'm New England and almost an
entire company of finished perform
ers narrowly escaped being booked
solid in a home for indigestion victims
after devouring the doughnuts every
night and on matinee days for an en-
tire season.
In "Sweet Lavender" the breakfasts
served actually consist of an omelette
three pieces of huttered toast and coffee

play real English breakfast tea Is
served. The latter beverage almost re-
suited in realism, running a gown on tht
opening night of the play. When Miss

policy necessary on the part of a sue

errors of authors aud playwrights,
Mr.. Munsel was directing the action

That the morocco industry here is
dull is attested to by the fact that
the list of unemployed men who gave
their vocations as leather workers
far exceeds those of any other trade.
Laborers are also plentiful, as are
car builders and the like. The build
ing trades. such as carpenters and
bricklayers, are not as well repre-

the fact that such workmen are IN

Hindu escaped with the sacred idol.
but was followed by Dorr Ruth, in
company with Sir Donald. whose
knowledge of India is presumed to be
great assistance, but proves their
downfall. for he hires a ma

which escape seems impossible and
thus gives him a clear field TO win

Wilkerson and his accomplices also
followed the Hindu and this week they
make an attempt to steal The sacred
idol by Disgusting themselves as Hin-
dus and entering the temple. Theil
efforts are successful and the principa
question to be solved is whether the,
will escape with il to America. Dorl
is still in the dungeon and his fat,
seems rather serious, that is, if some
thing does not turn up to release him
