this remarkable dramatic sepsation.
What is a wife? She is the incar-
nation OF what, after all, is the most
interesting type in all the world-a
perfect representative Of woman
hood. All the strong feeling, affec-
ton, fear, tenderness, apprehension,
gloating pride and joy stream from
her face in an overwhelming tide.
The play is founded on the vital
subject of Disappointed Marriage" d"
truly an important subject and a
subject not to be lightly dealt with.
Miss May, the authoress, worked
faithfully at the problem for years
until at last she succeeded in com
pleting a play that New York man
ayers we're eager for. In the produc-
tion OF THE Unloved wife" you are
going to witness just the sort of play
you have been waiting for, and
something you have not seen on stage
or screen. It is a great, big, symp-
homie. colorful drama containing
brilliant comedy and sensational sit
uations, and will be depicted by ar
adequate cast. There will be daily
matinees for ladies only. while the
evening performances are for every.
body over sixteen years OF age.

SPENDING 100000
ON STATE SCHOOLS

According to Col. Arthur Woods,
Of the Presidents Conference on I'm
employment, Delaware is one OF the
states reporting considerable school
construction. The report just issued
from washington shows that $780,
600 is being expended on such work
here.
According to the National Educa-
ton Association new school build
ings are going up or contracts about
to be let, to the amount OF s20.55s.-
ESQ, which will provide much need
ed seating capacity for 36,271
pupils. Reports from nearly every
state Indicate that building is being
speeded up and that new school
enterprises are fast assuming work
able shape.
Commenting upon these figures,
Colonel Arthur Woods, chairman OF
the Committee on Civic and Emer-
gency Measures, said: Hundreds OF
thousands OF school children in the
leading cities are in school only
half time for want of seating space.
other hundreds OF thousands are
seated in buildings ill-suited to the
purpose and requirements OF educa-
don as it is now conceived and or
ganized."

AT THE GARRICK.

The whole Sylvester family from
father and mother down to little
baby Katherine are in the big act
that heads the GarriclS bin. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sylvester are veterans and so
are the kiddies for that matter. Lit-
tie Katherine despite her very few
years is as much at home on the
stage as many a seasoned player OF
ten times her age. She is the fea-
turcd member OF the company All
over the Keith circuit she has at
tracted not little attention by her
undeniable cleverness and her utter
lack OF self-consciousness.
Fred and Marjorie Dale are ennis
saries from Joyland. They have been
sent out by old King Fun to spread
joliity all over the country. They
know their mission well and the wise
old King will not regret his selection.
Plainly speaking this duo has an
act that is best described as being OF
high quality and really worth
while.
Billy Mckee and the Claire Girls
spend most OF their act chattering
singing and dancing. They offer
what might best be termed as a mu-
sical comedy because it contains all
the elements OF this popular enter
tainment. Mckee is a musician and
thc Claire girls are dainty dancing
misses.
Goldie and Thorne are two girls
who have a knack OF singing and
talking better than the next per
sons. whenever and wherever they
appear the audiences laugh and
justly applause.
Jack and Marie Holly in "The
Melody Man" is another fine offer
ing. Arthur Hin and Julia Saun-
ders have a cycling act.
Shirley Mason's photoplay Love
time" is the photoplay feature on
the bill. This is a romance OF old
Savoy. The chief role gives to Miss
Mason the characterization Of a lit
tie French girl whose beauty at
tracted to her a wonderful painter
who quite lost his heart to the dainty
little miss. The picture has all the
beauty and the charm one generally
thinks OF in spring, in youth and in
love.
Raymond Mckee has the male
lead.

One of the finest Christmas carols

Little Town of Bethlehem" by
Phillips Brooks, the beloved Boston
divine (1S35-1S93). This was writ
ten for Sunday school singing when
the composer was bishop of the Epis-
copal diocese of Massachusetts. He
first sent it out anonymously but as
the hymn gained favor the author
ship became known.
The words of this carol well por-
tray the spirit Of simplicity and
tranquility of Bethlehem, and its
inhabitants who so little suspected
that a kin was in their midst. AL
though written especially as a
Christmas song. it is Of such a ma
ture that it is often used on other
occasions.
Many musical settings OF this
beautiful poem have been made but
the two that are most used are by
the English composer Joseph Barnby
(whose Sweet and Low" is universal
favorite) and the American COM
poser. Louis II. Redner (1S31-190S).

appalling. The old adage zone half

citizens of Wilmington, as very few

The call for charity is greater this
wear than in previous years because
OF the increased number of poor per-
sons who are reduced to such circun-
stances through depressed business
conditions and unemployment Such
cases are not put before the public's
eves because az the pride possessed
by these unfortunate individuals
These persons while not caring TO
have their poverty made public prop
erty. would gladly and apprecla-
lively accept charity
A few OF the worthy citizens OF
Wilmington have been hunting out

table work in a quiet way and do
