Apiece for Worthy Object.

Here is a chance for the Young men Of
Wilmington who have always longed to
dance with Dorothy Dickson, the famous
dancer OF "Rock-a-Bye Baby" Miss
Dickson has just wired to the manage
ment of The Playhouse, saying that she IS
willing to sell dances for 500 apiece to
Wilmington men, IN each ease the S10O
going to the Red Cross. Miss Dickson,
with her partner, Carl Hyson, has big
number In the first act OF ''Rock-a-Bye
Baby" and If any of her dances are sold
the lucky buyer viii dance with her in
stead of Mr. Hyson. And mind you this is
no mean privilege. During the past winter
in New York, where Miss Dickson has
been the dancing sensation, and even more
popular than Mrs Castle, many gided
youth has offered much more than a
meagre century for one dance with the
blonde beauty.
So here IS the opportunity and The
Playhouse management Is waiting TO see
Just how many dances Miss Dickson will
sell More than one can dance at each
performance of course and the more
dancers the larger the local Red Cross
fund will be swelled
