THE Call OF the North" with its
mysteries OF dark and dsshing deeds,
and OF the Tong traverse which is
but another name for murder, are
all wildly weaved into action by the
Wilmington Players at the Garrick
Theatre. The initial performance
furnished no pitfalls for the COM
pany last night. In fact an outsider
might have thought the company
had been playing the production for
weeks. so well was the acting and
details worked out.
One OF the things that helped
. make the play a success was the sim
.p7ioity OF the scenery. There was
no effort On the part OF the stage
director to have snow and ice and
other details. which unless presented
on a large scale usually prove a fail
ure with the average stock company.

Rerton Braleys Daily Poem
THE FLAPPER

She isn't afraid Of the old Taboos
OF dead conventions and ancient views,
She faces the world with perky grin
And confident tilt TO her dmpled chin:
And the old heads wag and the old tongues clatter
But she doesn't care for the stuff they chatter
She knows her actions being flayed
But not for minute is she afraid!
She isn't afraid of the shapes of wrath
The frowning idols that line her path,
Her eyes are open, and though she makes
Mistakes enough-they her mistakes
And not the bluyders OF Older heads
Filled fun Of cat,ions and doubts and breads;
Not always wisely her game is played
But never moment is she afraid
She shocks the elders with joyous verye
Until they quiver in every nerve
But altogether ! think the kid
Win do well her parents did;
Better perhaps for must confess
Her elders bungled things less;
Under the banners Of youth arrayed
She faces the Understandable!
