'Blossom Time' Opens Theatre Well Known Shubert Manager With Company At the Playhouse Today A kindly, haired, genial man is in the Playhouse office today and he feels more at home In the city than the oldest native.

He is Robert W. Priest, veteran Shubert manager, who directed the affairs of the Playhouse from 1926 to 1930 and in that time came to love Wilmington and Wilmington-ians. Mr. Priest is here today as manager of "Blossom Time" which opens the next theatrical season at th3 Playhouse. After the show this afternoon and this evening, Mr.

Priest will find himself at the Playhouse office, greeting and being greeted by the many friends he made while in Wil- in gum. Blossom Time" Well Received As manager of the Shubert's revival of the classic operetta, "Blossom Time," Mr. Priest does some considerable traveling one night stands in' smaller week stands in larger new faces, new new theatres and when all is said and all is done, "there's no place like home," Mr. Priest said today and ihome" is synonymous with Wilmington. It is difficult to entice Mr.

Priest into talkin about UmseU, bubbling over with enthusia: ma- He is thusiasm about Blossom Time" and its prima donna. Miss Helen Arnold. "Blossom Time" has become a perennial favorite and still blossoms along the theatrical ways. I "Why?" Mr. Priest explains.

"Because we have a new generation today. They are becoming legitimate theatre-minded and are yearning for what you might call flesh and blood' performances. "This year ought to be a great one for the road the best in ten or twelve years. I seem to feel the for the theatre, as a swing back from 'canned entertainment." public is in an anticipatory mood Meets Many Old Friends Mr. Priest spent a good part of the morning reacquainting himself with Wilmington friends.

Though he has been away from the Playhouse as manager for five years, he seems to have kept up pretty well with Wilmington affairs. Listening to him talk over the telephone to Wilmington friends and talking with generally about the city, you might think he had been away for only a week or so. When Mr. Priest left the Playhouse, he went to Philadelphia as manager of the Forrest Theatre there. Then he took up the management of several other theatres and of late has been the Shubert's representative on tour with com panies of outstanding stars.

Mr. Priest swears by "Blossom Time" and Miss Arnold. In Philadelphia, for instance, he said the show had a very successful two week run. hundreds having been turned away because of houses being sold out. The reason for tin popularity of Blossom Time," Mr.

Priest says, "Is that Romberg has very cleverly and artistically woven the immortal melodies of Franz Schubert into an opera that has become an Amer ican classic. As for Miss Arnold, she is the coming prima donna of the country, taken from New York by the Shuberte and now, she emerges from an unknown quantitity, into a personality that the theatre will not forget for a long time."
