MARGARET ANGLIN At THE PLAYHOUSE
TONIGHT.
The promise made prior TO the opening
of the new Playhouse season that the
theatregoers in this city would witness the
performances of some Of the stage s
greatest artists finds its first fulfillment
in the appearance of Margaret Angln
this evening in her play, "The Woman of
Bronze" This new play is the first emo
tional drama which has claimed Miss
Anglin for about two years. II seems destin-
ed TO hold preeminent place among the
dramatic achievements of the decade
having been fully established by unusual
success in Philadelphia, Chicago and
| other metropolitan cities. Soaring To the
sheerest heights of emotional expression in
the part of the wife of Leonard Hunt, a
young sculptor, Miss Anpln will portray
every shade OF human emotion experienced
by the noble woman of the story, who is
devoted to her husband and his career.
At the crucial moment in the achievement
of Hunts success his wife Ie~ rms that the
! man TO whom she has given her love and
devotion is unworthy of her in every re-
speot. Miss Anglin personally selected
her supporting cast in addition To direct
ing the play.

MANY GUNNERS
|. WERE DISAPPOINTED
First Day of Reed Bird Season In
terfered With to Some Extent
by High Wind.

The opening of recdbird season yes.
terday was somewhat marred by the pre-
vaIling high winds, which caused the
.'reedies" to fly high or to swarm in the
swamps out of reach of most Of the gun
ners.
The number of hunters who turned
out for the season., first day was small,
as compared with the opening days of
the past few years. The majority of the
sportsmen found it impossible to leave
their work for the seasons first day this
year, but will probably get into action
by Saturday afternoon or Labor Day.
Those who spent yesterday in the
marshes about Wilmington say that only
those gunners who were willing to wade
through the reeds and stir the game up got
any kind of bags They also say the
birds are not as fat as was expected. The
reeds have not ripened as early this year
as in the past
The gunners report large number of
rail birds about the local marshes. Some
OF the hunters bagged more of these birds
than "reedies." Rail bird season, except
for the coot and gallinule species, opened
yesterday also
Iellow-legged plover are reported as
abundant by gunners who spent the day
about Cherry Island marsh.
Over in New Jersey the local regula-
tions are somewhat different from those
in this State. Along the lower Delaware
shore many of the best natural spots for
shooting have been leased and are kept as
game preserves by. clubs and individual
sportsmen from a distance; an arrange
ment which is much resented by the bay
men ano ethers of the general public.
John Brady, George Huber, Leonard n.
Yerges, George Canning and Charles
Huber are said TO have bagged nearly 40
birds between them yesterday.
