New Lake Boat

A. Segsssie, one Of the principal
owners OF the Plneland. the gsso-
line passenger boat which was built
by the Tchefuncta River Packet
Company to carry passengers be-
tween West End and St. Tammany
lake resorts, said yesterday that
within the next few days the Com
pany, which Is now in the hands Of
Receiver l.. F. Young, would have
strengthened out its affairs. When
this has been effected, the Company
will be reorganized, with an in.
creased capitalization, ano its
domicile will be New Orleans, in
stead Of Covington.
After the financial affairs of the
Company are arranged, according
to Mr.. Segassie, the Company will
begin the construction Of = larger
boat, which will be capable Of
handling between 800 and $50 pas.
sengers on . single trip. The new
boat will have the machinery of the
Pineland, which is said to be too
powerful for her hull, which will be
built here in New Orleans. This
hull will be between 1870 and 1876
feet long, and, when the Pineland's
machinery is placed in it, the boat
will draw only about four feet Of
water. The heavy draft Of the Pine
land has operated, Mr.. Segassie
says, to prevent it making fast
time. The shallow waters Of Lake
Pontchsrtraip prevent the vessel, ,
which draws five feet seven inches,
from keeping up with the record
che made in deep water when she
was first constructed. With the
lighter draft boat, it is thought, the
trip from West End across the lake
can be made in an hour and twenty
minutes.
New machinery will be bought
for the Pineland's hull, the new en-
gines being between 230 and 25O
horsepower. The present engines
have a capaity Of 800. horsepower.
It is the intention Of the company
to operate two boats the year
around, il the business permits. II
not, one boat will be operated, and
throughout the winter the boats
will be used at West End to run
EXCURSIONS at that resort.
The Company is at present capt.
talized At $50, 600. Some Of the
most influential citizens Of St. Tam
many are associated with New Or

William Collier in New Comedy
at the New NatforaI

William Collier, best remembered here
IN The Dictator" and "On the Quiet. b"
although he has been the hero OF many
other successful comedies. viii be seen
al the National Theater tomorrow night
in his new three-act comedy. Caught
in the RAIN which received its first
presentation at Atlantic City a week
ago, and was pronounced by the cosmo-
politan audience gathered there 10 be an
uuGuestionaDle success.
The story is that Of a bashful young
mining engineer who runs away from
every pretty girl. although he thinks
nothing Of risk.ng his life 10 save
wounded miner in a CTUmbiing shaft. 4
terrific rainst0rm drives him to the shell
ter Of an awning. and there he meets
Murial Mason (Nanette ComstoclO. the
very pvettiest girl he ever saw. For a
moment he is tempted TO run from the
greater danger Of a pretty face 10 the
lesser one OF a torrent Of rain, but the
girls fright at the thunder and light
ming cOmpels him to remain there and re-
assure her Before he IS finally able 10
hand her into passing cab, the bashful
young man has fallen helplessly in love,
but unfortunately he is under the impress
sion that the girl in question is Miss
Nelly Gardiner. When. later on. the
young man is offered an opportunity 10
marry MUrial Mason, and at the same
time 10 win a great fortune, he resoIute-
ly rejects the offer on the ground that
he is in love with some one else. the
some one else" Of course. being Miss
Mason herself. This is overheard by Miss
Mason. who, not knowing OF the mistake
in identity, Immediately accepts the Of
Re
young mans rascally partner Then.
when it is apparently too late the bash
full young man and Miss Mason both dis
cover their mistake. In the end, of
course, everything IS squared up.
The scenes are laid in Denver and the
Rocky Mountain district. The play it
self was entirely forgotten in the
dangers that surrounded the company
during the San Francisco earthquake, and
the first manuscript itself was lost.
Caught in the Rain is said TO bubble
with humor. which does not interfere.
however, with the romantic interest that
peTvades it.
Mr.. FrOhman has surrounded the star
with a company Of unusual merit. includ-
ing Nanette Comstock Helena Collier
Garrick, Louise Drew. George Nash. John
Saville. Grant Stewart, and Wal
lace Eddinger. The scenic effects are
said to be unusually fine. During the en-
gagement there will be a matinee on Sat
urday only.

with them, even to the extent OF publish
/ ing stories calculated to do very serious
damage to business. when such stories
are palpably false. The Independents have
retaliated by withdraw Wing all their ad-
vertising from the offending paper and by
sending 10 out-of-town editors warnings
against the news printed in it. No doubt
the fight viii again go TO the point OF a
crop Of libel and other suits between
members Of the contending factions
From the Office Of David BelascO direct
comes what purDorts 10 be, and no doubt
is. a sworn statement containing the
astonishing asseveration that during the
recent four weeks run of THE Music
Master at the Majestic Theater. in Bos-
ton, the gross receipts mounted up TO the
magnificent total of $72.21I75. The last
week OF the engagement yielded the War
field management a gross of nearly S2l, 600
according to the affidavit. These are
grand opera figures. and if they are cor
rect. it IS one of the most remarkable
showings Of a financial sort ever made
by a theatrical enterprise in this country
They prove how eager the American
public is for really good and appealing
plays. and how readily forthcoming the
money 10 pay for the kind Of entertain
ment the public wants. There is nothing
strikingly novel. nothing at all sensa-
tlonal In the story of The Music Master.
II is n rather simple tale put into effec-
tive dramatic form and no doubt ad-
mirably performed by David Warf!eld and
his company. Il is evident there is
subtle, IL not mysterious. something about
the production which lifts il out Of the
ordinary class Of dramatic effort and
gives It a peculiarly strong appeal 10 the
public mind and heart. What this some
thing is, probably those most familiar
with the play and its career would not
be able to define to the general satisfac-
ton. David Warfelds friends claim for
his art and temperament the lions share
OF the credit for the prolonged SUCCESS.
and no doubt they are pretty near right.
Regardless Of these considerations it's
mighty good sign that such a success
has been achieved by such a play. It
might be a good thing all around If some
OF the theatrical spectators who deal in
queer and questionable plays would re-
fleet seriously on the success Of The
Music Master and what il means.
