FIGURES PLEASE IN KINGS
Republican Districts in Brooklyn
Hare Increases IN Registration.

Jacob Bremen chairman Of the Kings County
Republican Campaign Committee. and his asso-
clates were more than pleased by their exanlina-
ton yesterday Of the Brooklyn registration. The
figures for four days 246.945. an increase OK
1883 over the last Presidential year. There has
been no regular census since then. and on account
Of the recent influx caused by the opening Of the
williamsburg Bridge it is hard to estimate the in
crease in population So IL cannot be exactly de-
terned whether the registration this year is rel
atively as large as four years ago.
What is clear, however, from the figures is that
Of the twenty-one Assembly Districts thirteen
show increases and eight decreases. OF those show
ing increases six Republican districts and four
are Democratic districts. The three others are
doubtful.
Only one Republican district the Ist shows a
decrease. and that of only S. The seven others
showing decreases are all rock ribbed Democratic
districts including the XIVth, Senator McCar-
ren's which fell of ATS compared with 1900 The
total increase In Republican districts is 9lS4' and IN
Democratic districts it is 5472. On the other manu.
the total Democratic decrease is 2So6. as COM

LIGHT THAT FAILED"
A FINE PRODUCTION
Forbes Robertson and Gertrude Elliott
Present Sympathetic and ForcefuI
nramatization of Novel.

Most Of the audiences OF "The Light
That Failed" have undoubtedly awaited
the rise of the curtain with some mis-
givings, since characters so marked as
those of Kipling's striking novel can
rarely be transferred TO the stage with
cut spelling somebody's idea of them
Ii may safely be said. however. that in
this case Forces Robertson. Miss Ger
trude Elliott. and their excellent COM
Tany. not only carry out the ideas Of
the dramatists. but present a play SYM
pathetic and true from even the novel
readers point of view.
1t is. of course. very different in situ-
alton and dialogue from the novel. and
those who have fallen under tue spell
of the dsmtless. tragic story of Dick
Hiloar will find the play a lighter and
happier creation. though no less char.
acteristic Of Kipling. MT Robertson
Dick is impetuOus. reckless. enthusiast
tic. loyal. and tender by turns, but no
matinee hero. he is a real man, an IN
Gividual whom men may like and wO
men may love. Miss Elliotes Maisie is
a much more human creation than the
heroine Of tie novel in whom il was
always dimcult TO see qualities which
should command passionate devotion.
In the last scene her piquant charm was
especially winning.
This last scene in which the gathering
Of the war correspondents. the return
OF Bessie. and the revelation OF Maisie's
love are brought in. is altogether strong
and cdmirable. and the episode Of the
ruined picture gains dramatic force
when Dick shows the wreck 20 "A group
Of his comrades instead Of to Naisie
alone. The last interview with Bessie
is also managed with great cleverncss.
The play as whole owes its con-
vincing quality largely to the artistic
work Of Mr.. Robertson. who misses no
detail which might add TO the truth Of
his portrayal. and makes The stronger
