me that l could hear my own
words echoing on the air:

There was nothing more to be

deliberately skirted everything real.

ON SUFFRAGE
Continued from First PAGE.

Continued rom FIRST Pdge.
Democratic state Committee can line
up many members Of that party for
suffrage, as Senator Thomas f. CORN
ley. OF Wilmington, and some other
Democrats have announced they Will
not vote for ratification.
As the matter stands no one seems
10 know Just what the strength viii
be for suffrage when the showdown
comes. The anti-suffragists are Plan
ming TO make a tight against ratilca-
tlon by the Legislature. II is reported
that flying squadron Of "antis" from
Maryland. including some members OF
the Legislature, who recently gave aid
to those opposed TO suffrage in the
fight before the West Virginia Legisls-
ture, where ratification failed. are
making plans 10 visit Delaware and
assist the anti-suffragists in this
State. during the special session.
Senator Gormley gave out state
ment yesterday in which he said that
Il was apparent word had gone out
from Republican national headquarters
that ratification must be accomplished
in Delaware and he predicted the
amendment would be ratified. Senator
Gormly said there had been no change
in his attitude and that ne would OPP
poses ratification.
Suffrage, however, is not the only
question in connection with the special
session that is causing speculation. Now
that Governor Townsend has suggested
a plan for keeping the school tax rate
down by appropriating money from the
general fund Of the State. the question
is being asked by Wilmington members
and many citizens as 10 how Whining
ton Is going to fare in such a d'stribu-
tion Of State funds, considering the fact
that Wilmington pays more than %
per cent OF the money IN the general
fund that II is proposed TO distribute
for school purposes.
Wilmington is the only special dis
trict in the State that hes not accepted
the school code and many are wonder
ing what effect this fact will have in
making such distribution OF State
money. Some WlmingtOnians fear
Wilmington may be left out in the
cold when the State school money is
handed out.
Both Republicans and Democrats are
making their plans for the special cleo
ton in the Third Senatorial District OF
New Castle county Eext Saturday, when
a successor to Senator George w. Web
ster, deceased, will be elected.

OneS Of the most laughable produc-
tions OF the season was presented at
the Playhouse last night. The comedy,
Business Before Pleasure" was wit
messed by a large audience who found
much merriment from the opening
scene until the curtain fell on the last
sc..
There Is a series OF amusing compli-
cations which keeps the audience IN
mirth. The story is cen.ered around
two former cloak and suit manufactur-
ers, Potash and Perlmutter, who have
always given their attention 10 busi-
ness before pleasure. They decide TO
embark in the moving picture producing
business and open a studio They are told
at the beginning that TO have success
full reels they must engage a leading
man and woman and a vampire"
They are backed financially by a man
who il turns out has stolen money from
bank Of which he is vice-presldent.
He is eager to assist them In order TO
obtain the favor OF the young woman
who has been engaged as the "vamp."
The ''yamp" keeps the wives OF these
business men, Potash and Perlmutter,
in constant excitement OF jealousy, but
in the end she turns out TO be a most
docile and domestic young woman. The
play is featured by many shrewd. but
withal funny sayings by the two Jewish
partners, especially when they get into
an argument in their Jewish dialect.
Jules Jordan, as Abe Potash. won his
audience from the opening act, and
created much laughter. Harry First, as
Maurus Perlmutter. proved Just as
much favOrite with all.
Miss Jane Lowe, as Rita Sismondi, the
'vamp," Is exceptionally good. Her ap-
pearance as 10 dress and person and
manner Of talking and walking live up
to what the movies" have put over
as a vampire" and she causes much
OF the excitement OF the play.
Lizzie Wilson, as Rosie Potash, por-
trayed her role as the wife OF Abe
Potash in an excellent manner. The
remainder OF the supporting company
is good even II "Pemberton" viii assist
on shouting.
There will be a performance tonight
and tomorrow with a matinee tOmor-
row afternoon.
