arnE ROOMERANG.v

AT The Playhouse beginning this
evening and continuing tomorrow and
Wednesday evening with a matinee
on Wednesday. Wilmington theatre
gOers will have the pleasure of seeing
a new Belasco production, "The Boom
erang." Not only is it a new produce
ttion but il Is the first Belasco pro-
duction which has been seen in this
city for years and this In itself is
enough TO add considerable interest
10 the event.
"Thc Boomerang is confidently eX-
pected to be one of the successes Of
the year and Wilmington will have the
advantage of seeing the play before it
goes into New York City for run and
later visits the other large cities. The
company selected is one which is far
above the ordinary and the play itself
Is looked upon as the best which has
been produced for some time in its
line. Il is needless to say that the
production will be out of the ordinary
for Mr.. Belasco has never made pro-
ductiOn which was not. OF all the
producers he is regarded as the most
artistic as well as the most eNacting.
Everything must be complete and
everything must be iirst-class Moth
ing else will do and Wilmington is
therefore sure of having a treat in
store. The sale of seats has been eX-
cellent and there is every reason 10
look forward 10 three days of especial
~ good business and enjoyment for
theatregOers.
