IN EMOTIONAL ROLE
With Support of Very Capable
Company Carries Hearers
Through Tense Scenes.

BY a fortunate chance for the theatre
gong public, the second attraction of the
present season at The Playhouse, produced
last night, brings to Wilmington Margaret
Arglln, am artistic of renown in all de-
partments of the legitimate drama, and
especially qualified in emotional roles by
natural endowments and wide experience.
Her vehicle is the three-act drama,
The Woman of Bronze" an adaptation
10y Paul Hester from the French of kis-
temaccker. The work of the playwright
IN imparting local and contemporary
color is cieverly done, but it is open to
argument whether it would not have been
better 10 be content with the original
without the adapting. Our present-day
audiences for plays OF this character have
quite enough intelligence to allow for
difference of skies and customs, and the
process often effects n soitcnlng of the
rigiditv which the French model seems
to impose on play construction of a serious
type. As in La Robe Rouge, the French
drama which was ono of the features Of
the p.st season. the first act of this work

The theme is the lofty ono of wife S self

career of her husband, a sculptor. who

am eyes, but returns when this light
has burned out, and finds the inspiration
that was lacking for his masterpiece, "A
Woman of Bronze" in the face Of his
wife, brought out hv her ordeal
In depicting the various phases Of this
ordeal Miss Anglin displayed the wide
range of emotional expression which is
the foundation of her we'll deserved repu-
tation and which holds the attentive
auditor by its subtleties and shadings.
Especially striking was the episode in
the second act when she confidcs 10 her
stcadfast ally, Patrick Griggs admirably

of her anguish while spying on the guilty
pair, this being told in the midst of a

George J. Stoneman, one of the ic1d- ing attorneys of the state, a resident of Arizona since 1895 and former chair man of the Democratic state central committee, is going to leave Phoenix to reside in Los Angeles.

 Tn losing George J. Stoneman, the state of Arizona is giving up one of it's best known and most capable lawyers Through his ability as lawyer and his integrity as a man MT. Stoneman has acquired a large practice. He has been retained by several of the largest min ing corporations in the state, and his reputation as a corporation lawyer has been second to none. Tn democratic potltANo ilG Has eAANttS o bCNAA eL ANeANACAs and upon several occasions he has been mentioned as a candidate for gover- nor.
 MT. Stoneman first settled in Globe, Arizona, going there from Honolulu, H. T., where he had practiced law.

General Stoneman was a graduate of West Point, and the leader of many | important cavalry raids in the war | between the states.
