Wilmington, Dei-, .Noy.„ a light at the polls o fthe second ward here tonight, Har vey Miller was shot and killed by John Bell. Both colored PAUL GILMORE A GENIUS. lie Adds to His Already High Reputa tion in the Mummy and the Hum ming Hint. There is an indefinable something in the acting of Mr Paul Gilmore that lifts him above the usual “star.” IN hat it is can be nothing less than the fire of genius which comes to hut few. He is a man of attractive person ality, with a physrpie that attracts, a face that wins, and eyes tn_.t brighten or grow sad and silent at will. It is the same courteous gentlemen met on the street whom you see on the stage, and every action is in harmony with the most refined actions. In “The Mummy and the Humming Bird” Mr. Gilmore has a play in which his talents are given som< range, nor so wide, however, as it is to be in the future. Some twelve months ago this I paper paid a just tribute to the gen uine artistic tone and color of his work, ai d this year it desires to add to this by saying that since then he has become even more artistic. In short, Paul Gilmore, a gentleman in every sense, is one of the best pro ducts of the American stage, a fact evinced by his growing popularity, and by the just praise given him. A splendid audience greeted him and his company last night at 'he Academy of Music in the rendition of “The Mummy and the Humming Bird,” which was thoroughly and keenly enjoyed. The company is even a better one than last year's, and the members of the caste here at that time have improved. Miss Ze'ina Wells as “Lady Lumley,” Mr. Theo dore Terry as Signor D’Orelii, and Mr. John Martin as "Giuseppe" did most charming work, and measured up to a high place in the appreciation of ! the audience,. It was a pleasure and a delight to witness the performance, every act, every scene of which was a gem. As “Lord Lumley” Mr. Gilmor** should continue to attract the very largest audiences, so» Jte lives the character and you forget that he is acting. His continued and growing success is gratifying to the mat y friends throughout the country who have become attached to him because of his genuine worth and his real his trionic ability.
