THE DRAMA.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

"A Suit OF Stables" isn't much of a
play But Miss Florence Roberts and
her company made as much out of 1t
last night probably as could be made.
The play itself bears evidence of being
written by an amateur, or at least by
one who in this composition handled
very unskilfully play wright technique
and the mere machinery of the drama.
Notwithstanding this there are several
clean cut, well drawn characters in the
play and it was because of this that
the company was able to make some
thing out of it. Miss Florence Roberts
as "Dorothea Van Dresser" gave life
and dash to the presentation. Mr.. Mon
tame as "Stuyvesant Van Dresser
"Dorotheas father, played the part
satisfactorily as did Miss Howe that of
Matilda. Paul Gerson as Robert
Mcmahon" did good work Mr.. Hen
derson presented an excellent Jack
Willoughby. The support throughout
was satisfactory.
Tonight the company will present
"The Girl 1 Left Behind Me-" This is
a drama by David BelascO and Frank
lin Tyles. 1t has proved one of the
most successful of the military dramas.
1t is strong in stage effect, incident, and
dialogue. The scene is laid in the
northern region at the time the sun

livered an address on the subject. AL
most" before large and appreciative
audience at the Eighth Street Temple
last night. The speaker. having been in
troduced by Levi David with few COM
plimentary remarks said in the course CT
his address:
1T is criminal not to succeed. The
world announces its harsh maxim that
nothing succeeds like success but harsh
as it seems and sounds. it is the only
practical solution of ones life work If
by success is meant accomplishment OF
the true ends of living. AS surely the
daylight precedes the night, so surely does
cause precede effect. II failure be the
effect. then the cause for 1t somewhere
exists and for which the sufferer is in.
some way and measure responsible bar
ring the drawbacks of heredity and health
and environment. Whether it is true or
not that most people fail we do not know.
Certainly many completely fail, others al
most succeed and stiil others reach
their own particular goal, crowned with
victory. The mass of total wrecks and
utter failures that strew life's path inter-
ests us moderately, but the physiological
wonder of all is that class OF people who
neither fail utterly nor succeed COM
pletely. The world is full OF people who
are almost successful. Some men, some
how or other, manage to be almost some
thing, and yet specifically nothing, almost
a merchant, doctor, dentist, a drug
gist, almost a lawyer; a jack at all trades
and good at none is the adage that fits he
case
I'VE meet people every day, people who
are almost something. but who are just
little short of it. II they undertake
anything they never quite finish it-they
never quite complete their course at
school. they never quite learn a trade or
profession, they always manage 10 stop
short of success. We encounter People,
too. who are almost happy. almost philo-
sophical. almost religious, yet never OK
actly belong to any class or sect they
never know Just where they stand; tn y
are not quite anything.
&c Almost is a dangerous word, and it
ought to be marked out OF our dictionaries
Almost is a dangerous condition. and
every gritty and true man ought to run
away from it, get above il and away be
yond IT, as he would get beyond the each
of a snake. Be something absolutely. or Z
nothing absolutely; don't be a halfway, 7
Of the-road man. Don't try to test
your art as an equilibrist by sitting .
astride on the fence, when the world is
crying for stout strong, complete, posi- .
tive men. Don't be the negative man {
the backboneless animal. The world in
stinctively despises the man who never /
opposes you. who simply says yes; yes. |
The man who can say no will not join
that great class of nondescripts whom We
call aIm"sts.'"
