"Nem Gwynn" at the BurwoOd.


Miss Marie Pettes carried her audience
by storm at the Burwood yesterday and
leaped into instant popularity. The sue
cess of Nell Gwynn at Old Drury in Lon
don could not have been more pronounced
than was that Of her prototype In Omaha.
Before the first act was over at the natl
nee the applause was sufficient to interrupt
the play and the success OF the new lead
ing woman was made certain, At the even
ing performance she scored point after
point and was again given assurance that
her effort was appreciated Miss Pettes
has every advantage of youth and good
looks, with n natural vivacity that easily
fit In with traditions of roguish, but warm
hearted and impulsive. Nellie, who rose
from an orange girl to be an actress
through the favor OF the king. and who
held that favor through many years of
court intrigue, meanwhile winning the Lon
don people by her gracious ways and I'M
failing good nature. In fine. Miss Pettes
makes Nell Gwynn live again, just as she
lived at the time the Pilgrim Fathers were
searching out the rock to land on. She
impresses with her sincerity and, barring
a little uncertainty once or twice, she dom
mates the situation at all times. Her COM
edy opportunities are delightfully."- taken,
ana in the more stressful moments that
come TO her she doesn't lose her grip. In
a word. she is an attractive and capable ao-
'tress and ought to become very popular at
the Burwood.
Mr.. Morrison makes Charles II a king
very much as he appears in history. vacil-

her versatility by appearing as a buxom
maid rather than as an old woman. The

FOLLY WRECKS MANY SHIPS

British Navy Seriously Crippled by
Damage to It's War Vessels.
British naval circles are seriously
perturbed by the extent to which the
navy has recently been weakened
through accidents to important ships
says the New York World. In addi-
ton to the Montagu, which went
ashore on Lundy island during maneu-
vers and is now to be sold as old iron,
at least four other first-class battle
ships and one armored cruiser are out
of the effective list, and many minor
vessels have also been damaged, bring
ing the total of ineffective ships up to
8 per cent of the whole, quite exclusive
of those under repair for ordinary wear
and tear.
What adds to the seriousness OF this
condition of affairs Is the knowledge
that the accidents, in almost every case
was due to the neglect or Incompetence
of the officers, though they are admit
teddy some Of the best men In the
British navy. As showing this the
following story was told to The World
correspondent by a high naval author
ity:
When the Montagu went aground
firm of well-known Liverpool salvage
experts was engaged to get her on.
This they were fully confident OF DO
ing in a couple Of days, but some time
after they had started operations
highly placed officer Of the channel fleet
arrived on the scene, cOuntermanded
the orders already given and TOOK
charge of the operations himself
though very little experienced IN sucn
work. The result was that the posi-
ton of the vessel became steadlly
worse until she finally had to be aDan'
doned altogether.
This, however, is not the only III
stance of laundering connected WIFI
the loss of the Montagu, for the Dallle
ship Duncan, which went to her aS'
sistance, also ran aground Inc au
thorities declared she merely toucneo'
but it now turns out that she also was
seriously injured and had to De docA'
ed at Portsmouth for repairs.

Have Patience.

It Is one Of the hardest things In che
world to be patient when one wants a
thing very much. One may be wishing
earnestly for something that Is really
a good thing, but he wants it now,
and wonders why he must wait. There
are young people who are In hurry
to be older, to be grown up, and to
have the things that they think will be-
long to them then. They can hardly
wait. 1t is great blessing that God
does not allow his good things to be
snatched before the time. Everything
that Is good is coming as fast as he
thinks best. AS one has wisely said,
Goods clock is never too slow.

The Perfect Chord.

How shall there be harmony unless
there be discords in it? When we
stand in the shadow or form part of
the discord, we may find that life has
suddenly grown hard and difficult to
us; but the universe is wide, eternity
long, God infinite. In His ear our dis
cord may be blended, with tones taken
from past generations, or distant
worlds, and may run into harmoni-
GUS sequence, which as yet we cannot
catch. In His eye our shadow may
lend new depth and meaning and pa
thos to q picture too vast for us to
grasp as yet But il one day we should
sit down with Him In the heavenly
places, we, too, as we gaze on the large
perfect scene, and listen to the mighty
and complete harmony, may confess
that "He hath done all things well."-
