SKILLED ARTISTS AT THE GAaR,cx.

/ SKILLED ARTISTS AT THE GAHRick,
/, Moran and Wiser, who are presenting
se1he Hat Shop" Mt the Garrick Theatre
! this week, are skilled artists in the line OF
boomerang throwing Their boomerangs
are hats, which they appear TO be able To
! throw in any direction and have them
land at any point desired. The accuracy
with which these shots are made Is re-
markable. With their skill they add a
touch of real comedy, which makes the
act all the more interesting. One OF the
men is genuine clown, and his antics
| while manipulating the hats are very
funny.
FRED STONE I'm Jack o LANTERN At THE

The Playhouse this 0eek, has taken Will
mington by storm The production intact,
MS seen in New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and Boston, is being presented.
The company numbers 100 people. The
sensational finale of the evening is an ice
skating carnival, in which Fred Stone
presents burlesque of the famous Char
lotte and then winds up with some in
ventions of his own that Charlotte would
not attempt. In this same scene is Katie
Smith, graceful skater from the Con-
tinent, who gives several moments OF the
poetry-of-motion skating that Is not so
often seen. An ice plant under the stage of
The Playhouse, furnishes the necessary
ice for this scene. 1t is q reproduction of
St Moritz, Switzerland. This is the first
extravaganza in which MIR. Stone has ap-
peared as lone star-without his pal and
comra1e, David Montgomery. 1t will be
interesting to know tnat he was greeted as
sAI h,r h, he
night he opened: Ever since the Wizard
Of OF" with its glibbering Straw Man,
gladder than barrel Of Pollyanas and
more inspiring than the comic muse her
self, Fred Stone has defied those deeper
laws of gravity that weigh upon us all
1t is Glowing, if you will, but clowning
with so light a toe, so airy a body ard
spirit so elcmentally gay and free that it
rises to the altitude of the fine arts.
The Playhouse performances are given
according to the Daylight Saving sche-
dule Out-of-town patrons are requested
to be governed accordingly.
