"Peg O, MY Heart Pleases.

"Peg o. Ny Heart Pleases
The Wilmington Players have found
happy choice In play presen-
tation by It's Offering this week. IL took
but ono performance OF Peg o Ny
Heart" to convince theatregoers that
the famous Peg was once more due for
a glorifled success at the Garrick
Theatre. Iaurette Taylor played
Peg" twice in Wilmington and
thousands who shw her and thousands
who did not viii be able 10 enjoy the
entertainment that Is offered by the
Wilmington Players In their presenta-
ton Of the Offering. Miss Estelle
Reilley capably plays the title role
and To II gives vivacity, charm and
undeniable humor. That girl Peg is
one OF the most lovable and most
famous personages on tho stage and
her adventures seeking TO find happi-
ness with dignified and snobbish En-
glish relatives are at times directly
appealing to the sympathies and at
other times decidedly enjoyable.
~The CbarIatan" at The Playhouse.
When Adolph Klauber's THE Char
latan" comes TO The Playhouse on
Friday and Saturday, direct from its
New York run at the Times Square
Theatre, pisygoers will have an op-
portunity OF seeing the descendant OF
real king among the group OF ex-
cellent players. The gentleman in
question-for this is a male descend
ant---is Frederick Bruce Tlden, who
successfully bears the brunt Of the
piece as the protagonist, Count Gag
iiostro. Tiden Is descended lineally
| from Robert Bruce, the Scottish hero
Tiden himself was born in the British
! diplomatic service and has Travelled
all over the world. His achievement
as cosmopolite give him the cultura
| background necessary to play Gag
| liostro, but there the resemblanc
ceases. For while Cagliostro was
| globe trotter, he was also the creates
rouge in history and a domestic actor
such as Tiden, could hardly hope (
equal this.
