"APPLESAUCE"

Richard Herndon will bring Bar
ry Conners' famous comedy Apple
sauce" with Allan Dinehart as chief
dispenser of the blarney to the Play
house, Wilmington, for three nights,
commencing Tuesday, April 1S. mo
matinee.)
Mr.. Dinehart will have in his sup
port Vivian Tobin and the entire
New York company including Will
liam Holden, Jessie Crommette,
Clara Blandick, Walter Connolly and
Jules Farrar.
"Applesauce" is a comedy of the
American home which enjoyed a
full season of S6 weeks in Chicago
last winter and comes here direct
from it's New York and Boston runs
with the same identical cast. 1t is
chock full of laughs. 1t presents an
appealing love story; and hits anus
ingly at every man or woman who
has been married or wanted to be
married. In the role of Bill McAllis-
ter, Mr.. Dinehart proves that the
whole human race is utterly suscep-
tible to blarney. He pits his pleasant
words and alluring smiles against
the wealth and stability of his rival
and wins the girl he loves. He also
walks his way into the most obdur-
ate hearts by the same process OF
spreading "Applesauce" wherever he
goes, dispelling criticism and disap-
proval until he gains his ends.
Allan Dinehart started life in the
great northwest, and was headed for
the priesthood while a student at
Missoula University, when attracted
to the stage. Many and various were
his adventures before getting sol
id start in vaudeville for which he
wrote and directed several of his
own sketches. Six years ago, he
made his bow to the legitimate field
in "a Very Good Man" Since then
he has appeared in "The Gypsy

should be removed, either at night

| ing them for a few days from the
sun. Radishes and lettuce may be
sown up to the middle of September,
and Winter o. salad onions should be
planted about that time.
1t should not be necessary to en-
phasize the fact that a garden should
be kept free from weeds at this time,
for it should be kept clear of weeds
at all times; but we wish to stress
the fact that as soon as q portion or
the garden is through producing, 1t
should be planted to some cover crop,
crimson clover and vetch being pre-
ferred at this season. This cover
crop also can be raked in between
the rows of standing corn, between
the tomato plants. If they have been
properly staked, and any place where
small spot of bare ground appears.
The cover crop not only helps to keep
the weeds down, but will add a great
deal to the humus content OF the soil
for next years garden. The use Of
stable manure, which is a prolific
source of weed seeds. can be entirely
eliminated by the turning under of a
good cover crop, supplemented with
commercial fertilizer.
