ADJUSTMENTS
"LIGnTNIN' " Ar THE PLAYHOUSE.

Many Wilmington theatregoers have
come to understand why "Iightnin
broke the worlds record for length OF run
on Broadway. The presentation OF the
play at The Playhouse this week has been
source of extreme pleasure and ever
lasting delight to everyone. Many regrets
follow its closing performance this evening
at The Playhouse. Milton Mobiles and
Bessie Bacon are the principals.
CLARENCE" HERE ON MONDAY.
Clarence" which represents Booth
Harrington in the capacity which has
endeared him to great following, will
come to The Playhouse on Monday night
to commence an engagement of three
days, bringing with 1T the original COM
pany, Alfred Lunt and all. This comedy
took New York both by surprise and by
storm last season and had run of forty
weeks at the Hudson Theatre. There
fore, those who have marveled AT the
Indiana authors skill as the historian OF
youth are assured of another display oi 1T
by means of the spoken line. Clarence
himself demands the writer's chief at
tention. naturally, but all the incidental
characters have had close attention so
that there is not a strictly straight part
in the play.
