 From a technical point the play was perfect. and too much credit can not be accorded MT. Williams, who used such discrimination in casting the parts, and who displayed a marked knowledge of stage-craft, euch as correctly bringing out the lines, in determining positions, etc 7, details which showed careful study.
 The play deals with a young wife, Puffering from hNpochondriasm. who 1magining an early death, proceeds to select for her husband, a second wife -one "uot too attractive, but who wlll look after Stuart's comfort" The ltuations which develop are delight bully amusing and offer a decided Pcope for dramatic ability.
 The most difficult roles. perhaps. are those taken by Miss Elizabeth Ov- erstreet and Jess Cook The former, as Irene Randolph, in the trying part pi the young wife, performs the al most impossible task of appearing en- hantlngly attractive and appealing, ma at the same time of being almost constantly. in tears.

CAPT. GRAHAM Gets
HIS license BACK
Inspector Seeley Restores
License After Trip on
GeiSha to Fenton'S
FROM NEW YORK TO
MAKE INVESTIGATION

Captain John U. Graham, owner Of
the large powerboat "Geisha,' which
plies between Wilmington and Fen
ton Beach. r. j.. is again in complete
command of his vessel. Several
weeks ago he was deprived of his IL
cense as captain. on charges Of per-
mitting more than the maximum
quota of passengers on the "Geisha, "
This penalty was imposed as an out
growth of a report to the collector OF
customs at Philadelphia
Friends of Captain Graham and
others who were of the opinion that
the punishment inflicted was too
severe Immediately took up the mat
ter with Henry M. Seeley, United
States supervising inspector, Second
district. New York.
Letters were written to Mr.. Seeley,
and he promised to come to Whining
ton at some future time.
On last Sunday a week ago Mr.
Seeley made this promise good, but
arriving here, did not make his iden-
tity known. He boarded the "Geisha'
at Orange street wharf and made the
trip to and from Fenton Beach as an
ordinary passenger. When near the
Wilmington wharf Mr. Seeley ap-
preached Captain Graham and said
he would like to see the equipment
of the vessel. The owner of the boat
was considerably surprised when he
learned who his passenger was. That
the manner in which the boat was
run and its equipment pleased Mr.
SeeIey was evident. Two days later
Captain Graham had his papers as
captain restored. He kept the matter
to himself until yesterday, when he
spread the news among his friends.
1t is expected that Cecil Graham. a
son of Captain Graham and mate OF
the vessel who also lost his papers

PASSES ON RIGHT To
REGULATE PICKETS
Street Directors Obtain Opin-
ion of City Solicitor
Hastings on Subject
OFFICIALS MUM ON
LEGAL CONCLUSIONS

Directors Of the Street and Sewer
Department yesterday at their meet
ing received an opinion from City
Solicitor Hastings as to their right
to regulate picketing by strikers.
President George W. Sparks, Of
the department, when asked about
the opinion today. said that he
had received an opinion from
Mr.. Hastings defining the rights Of
the department to regulate picketing.
but said that a conference had not
been held upon the subject The
opinion he said might be considered
at later date He declined to make
public the opinion until il had been
considered by the Board.
City Solicitor Hastings, when ask
ed about the matter absolutely re-
fused TO make any statement.
1t was learned today that at a re-
cent meeting of the Mayors Advisory
Board, a resolution was adopted
unanimously to the effect that it
would be unwise for the directors Of
the Street and Sewer Department to
take any action to regulate picketing
whether they had a right to regulate
the practice or not.
The opinion Of the City Solicitor
was said to be to the effect that the
directors have the right to regulate
the picketing if they desire. From
indications the directors may not in
terfere in any way with the picketing
of the striking brewery workers, it is
believed
The subject came before the Street
and Sewer directors when Leonard
r. Wales. representing certain inter
ests, asked that a regulation be adopt
ed prohibiting picketing within one
hundred feet Of any place to bt
piclleted. The Central Labor Union
opposed the regulation, and the ques-
ton of the jurisdiction of the depart
ment over picketing was referred Il
the City Solicitor for his opinion.
