A bicommutant theorem for dual Banach algebras

A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$, and an isometric, weak$^*$-weak$^*$-continuous homomorphism $π:\mc A\to\mc B(E)$ such that $π(\mc A)$ equals its own bicommutant.
