Big Attractions
At The Victoria

Three big attractions are listed
for the coming week, at the Vic
toria Theatre, Wilmington, begin
ming with Monday, when "The
Brand of Cowardice"-featuring
the famous Lionel Barrymore, ap-
pearing as the hero-begins a two
day engagement. This play is es-
pecially timely, giving a view Of
life, as shared by many Ameri-
cans, pertaining to the necessity of
going to war" It's a story of
Mexican troubles, just now, and
the hero, Cyril Hamilton, when de
Gliding the country does not need
him, is tainted by his wealthy
sweetheart, for not being brave.
He feels the sting of cowardice
blOtting his career, and he goes,
unbeknown to her. He finds
enough opportunities to prove his
real value-especially when the
MeXicans are about to close in on
him-and he, with one lone bullet
left to defend his sweetheart's
honor. Of course it all ends bril-
liantly-for the American hero.
Mr.. Barrymore is very we'll cast,
and plays remarkably we'll. Grace
Vaentine ably supports the star.
Wednesday and Thursday, the
Pathe play, "The Woman's Fight"
will be shown. Geraldine O'Brien
as the principal player, makes a
very strong heroine, in a play that
brings up some very vital present
day questions. Will a woman be
allowed to live down her mistakes,
made in early life-a man can
live down his wild oats-why not
woman? Nothing quite as grip

before, and the result is oen of the
best plays of the year.
Friday and Saturday, "And the

Mr.. Bennett is called upon to do
some great acting, and that he
does it, is a foregone conclusion.

PARK MARKED
BY SIMPLICITY
Plans For Court House
Square Submitted

The Wilmington Park Commits
sion aided by an advisory board
of experts, in the persons Of Will
lam M. Kendall, Charles A. Platt,
and John Russell Polk, Of New
York, have awarded the design for
the new court house square to
Zantzinger, Borie and Medary, of
Philadelphia. Five plans were sub
mitted by various architects and
after spending almost a whole
afternoon in consideration of their
different merits, the board decid-
ed that the plans Of Zantzinger,
Borie and Medary combined the
requisite simplicity and dignity of
design called for by the contem-
plated surroundings of the new
square.
Hardly any better choice could
have been made for the plans
chosen combine simplicity with a
certain gradueur and elegance
that will render a most striking
foreground to the beautiful sim
plicity of the architecture Of the
public building.
Facing Market street, at what is
now the entrance to the Court
House there will be a statue of
Caesar Rodney in stone recess or
alcove, back from the street, and
situated on the highest eminence
in the square. Leading down from
this to the square proper there will
be two sets of stone steps taking
one directly to the cement walk
that will be laid around a large,
open lawn plaza Immediately fac
ing the public building. The north
and south sides of this walk will
lead directly to the two entrances
of the public building while there
will be two more main entrances,
one facing the main entrance of
the proposed public library and
the other on the Eleventh street
side of the square.
This central cement walk will be
flanked all the way round by var
iegated shrubbery beds against a
low retaining wall topped by a
stone balustrade of beautiful de.
sign. Parallel with Tenth street
and with Eleventh street will be
two more walks, shaded with dou.
bic rows of trees, along which
walk will be placed seats of spec
ial design. The outer edge of the
square nearest the pavements will
also be tree-bordered and supplied
with benches as will be the side OF
the lawn facing the public build
ing.
The whole square will be laiC
out in such a way that it viii
slope towards King street. Ten
tative plans have been made t.
have all the walks in the squar
borGered with e | e tric light
mounted on standards of fttin
design. Facing all other sides o
the square there will be trees ant
shrubbery but on the side neares
to the public building there vii
be nothing to obstruct the view 0
the whole.
No definite date has been set TO
the beginning Of the work lookin
toward the laying out of tn
square and none can be made VI
til all the offices in the Coul
House have been transferred t
the public building. 1t has bee
estimated that the cost Of the ne
square will be in the neighbornoo
of $4,000.
