BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES

the opening of a new era OF entertain
ment for Wilmington, and the fore
most show in the history Of The

from here to Philadelphia, after hav-
ing played New York and Wash
ingtOn.
In size, in quality in music and in

It would take a volume to tell the
good points of the clever people in
the cast The names tell the story,
and if any other company can mus
ter a roll of such excellent stage
folk, and so many of them. it has
not yet appeared on the American
stage. II is going to be a long time
before il does appear.
Included in the cast are some who
have been seen in Wilmington, al
though not for years. as in the case
OF Richard earle. known to every
American theatre-goer as one OF the
cleverest comedians who ever lived,
Then there Is Valli Valli. who is
now making her first appearance be-
fore a Wilmington audience after
having made a decided succeeB of
her profession in all of the big cities,
where she has appeared. There are a
scores OF other members OF the COM
pany who are both noted and clever
and what applies to Mr.. Garlic and
Vallii Valli: applies with equal force
TO the others. II is an aggregation of
clever people that Wilmingtonians
has not been able TO see in this city
before
Naturally the music is a feature of
the production. and an augmented
orchestra of twenty-five pieces adds
greatly TO the enjoyment of the per
Torrance. There are twenty-five
clever musical numbers and the
Revue contains some of the most
catchy music heard in Wilmington
for years.
Some idea Of the production from a
scenic standpoint may be obtained
from the statement that there are
fourteen scenes in the Revue and a
number Of popular and noted plays
OF recent date have come in for some
good natured satire. This feature OF
the production is delightful and some
idea of the scope of the thing can
be obtained from the following
synopsis of the scenes:
The Action OF the play is laid some
where in Rhode Island. Time,
