over at P. NJ. 500 or more happy
children will have toys which have
been presented TO them by the park

for a certain toy and the finder of
the ticket gets the toy. The toys
range in value from the ordinary
toy 70 those costing several dollars
each. The entertainments given in
connection with the toy hunts are
also interesting because numerous
clever child amateurs appear. The

AT THE ARCADIA

The revelation OF that famous
vaudeville illusion Saving a Lady
in Half" proved bit OF remarkable
entertainment when it was present
ed 20 the audiences at the Arcadia
Theatre for the first time yesterday.
The picture which is two reels in
length, discloses the entire trick OF
the magician. First revealed is the
trick Itself as it is seen by the audi
ences throughout the country and the
world. The second is devoted TO
the disillusionment OF the impression
created by the first and by remark
able long and closeup shots. The
camera has laid bare the secret that
has caused no little bit of curiosity
to millions throughout the country.
II IS especially requested by the
management Of the Arcadia Theatre
that the patrons who have seen the
hlm will not tell the secret to their
friends and spoil the pleasure they
would have hsd in seeing for them
selves.
The legitimate or dramatic attrac-
tion is Watch Your Step" a de-
hghtful little comedy, devoted TO the
romance OF a nice young fellow and
his mania for speed.
Cullen lands plays the leading role
IN the picture. Patsy Ruth Miller
has the feminine lead opposite him.

CAST.


Although Twin Beds" is funny.
all the way through, and at times
almost ridiculously so. it has many
things in common with everyday
life. In other words it is not above
the little experiences that go with
married life, especially when that
married life happens TO be lived in
a fiat with neighbors above and be-
low. No doubt It Is this realistic
touch that has given IL so much
with theatre-goers.
The Wilmington Players did bet
ter last night with Twin Beds"
than anything they have ever at
tempted here. To further add TO
the success Of the farce. the Garrick
was filled TO overiowing. with sew

the farce here. as Twin Beds" has
been presented in Wilmington on
one or two occasions. II nan true

who saw it. II there is a cure for
the traditional Monday blues then
Twin Beds" must be that cure.
II Miss Estelle Reilley has been
popular with the play-lovers Of Will
mington before. then she has dou-
beld her popularity in playing the
role OF Blanche Hawkins. This is the
leading woman's part in Twin
Beds" and one that would loose its
worth II overplayed. However, Miss
Reilley proved that she is as good
in comedy as drama. II not better.
Robert Lynn. the leading man.
stands out better in the comedy Sit
uations IN this show than in some
in which he has previously played.
In fact the entire cast seems 10
adapt itself better to comedy than
drama. or the lighter kind OF drama.
For the benefit Of the romantic. 1t
might be added that Mr.. Lynn and
Miss Rsilley were exceptionally good
IN the e-making scenes. David
