CAST OF CHARACTERS
IL THE NEW DRAMA,
" III emory and Tomorrow"
By Walter Anthony

F. Booth Tilton's new problem play
Memory and Tomorrow. was given
its premier last night at the Novelty
theater before fine and kindly audi
ence. 1t is a four act play by man
familiar with the devices of the stage.
1t is a philippe in support or the
theory that woman may reform ana
forget a sinful past
AS a play it has two splendid acts.
the second and the third. In the for
mer a scene quite new is introduced
and the author succeeds in an appeal
of intense interest. His touch there is
very sure. In the third act the climax
Is well built up and interest in seeing
the woman save her happiness against
the schemes of her husbands brother
her partner in the wrong OF many
years before-is tense and vital. The
first and last acts will no doubt be
written over again; the first recast en-
tirely and the last cut vigorously. AS
q thesis on the problem mentioned II
does not convince. The question isn't
solved. just avoided. The theme. very
briefly, is this:
To save her father from poverty in
his declining years, Helen Dare, later
Mrs Helen Medford, becomes the mis-
tress Of young artist. After two
years he leaves her. A widow in the
same fat, TO whom Helen had been
kind, dies suddenly and leaves the lat
ter her money. Helen takes her name
and money well and leaves England
for America Later she meets George
Medfield, who marries her, and she is
enjoying the happiness OF her real love
when her husbands brother returns.
He is her former lover. The plot con-
Germs itself with his struggle to regain
her. The wife has determined to save
her husband, he having become in
volved financially. There Is no one to
give him the money but his rich broth
er The price OF the financial assist
ance is Helen. OF course the husband
doesn't know OF this pact In the last
act the news is brought that Frank has
been suddenly killed in an accident.
Mary Mannering as Helen was at
home in the lighter portions of the
play and convincing In the emotional.
The rest of the cast did well in their
new roles. though there was evident
the necessity for more rehearsing. AS
the play stands, it viii hardly do: as
i may be pruned and in part rewrit-
ten-the first act. for instance-it
ought~to be a success, for it contains
much that is new. and it is wholesome
and dramatic.

POMONA'S BOILERS SHOWN
TO BE IN GOOD ORDER
Engineers Swear That Defective
Machinery Was Not Re-
SpOnSible for Wreck

According to sworn statements made
by Chief Engineer John T. Clements
and his assistants. G. E. Brown, o. F.
Anderson and L. Kock, of the steamer
Pomona, the wreck of that vessel was
not in any way caused by unsafe con-
dition of the boilers. The engineers
appeared before Captain John K. Bull
ger, inspector of boilers, yesterday and
made statement to the effect that the
boilers were in excellent condition.
Clements and his assistants stated
that the boilers had been thoroughly
overhauled few weeks ago. They
also stated that the steamer was max
ing more than IL knots an hour at the
time 1T struck the rocks. which would
go to prove that the boilers were in
good condition, inasmuch as the steam
er was battling against a heavy sea
and a terrific northwest wind.
