duced in New York with Jane Cow
and a superlative supporting cast.
has been selected as the offering at
the Playhouse next week beginning
Monday. iDaugurating the dramatic
stock season in Wilmington by the
Playhouse Associate Players.
"Smilin' Through" should prove
one OF the most attractive produc-
tions that has ever been staged
here. and Manager Earle c.. FinDey.
is TO be congratulated upon his pro
gressiveness in securing so famous
a play for presentation locally. II
is TYPICAL OF 1.-The progressive spirit
that marks all his efforts at the
Playhouse.
The company is headed by Martha

Miss McGraw has had considerable
experience in picture. having play
ed for three years with the Famous
Players Among her successes have
been THE Jest" Il owe You"

bers Of the cast are equally strong.
While there is sweetness and
