HONOR KENNEDY
United IN PraisiRg HIS UOrk
at Memorial Meeting.

Leaders In the educational and phiian-
thropic life Of the city joined % celebrate
the memory Of the late John stewart Ken
needy last night at a service In the tmted
Charities Building The Rev. Or. Charles
n Parkhurst opened the meeting win
PRAYER. Robert W de Forest. president o.
the charity Organization Society, served as
chairman and delivered eulozy on MT.
Kennedy's character and good deeds he
told I'm particular of his gift OF the United
Charities Building. i'm which the meerns
was held
1t is not isir for US 10 think Of Mr..
Kennedy only as great money getter anu
great money siVer.' he concluded 'tte
had a tender heart; he shed tears at times
such tears as any strong man might
shed Fer all his many years he never
knew what II was 10 grow old.
Nicholas Murray Butler president of Co
lumbia University. paid high tribute.
TO tell of Mr.. Kennedy he said. rs
10 describe one of the foundation stones
of lfe-chaTacter. When he diet the world
was surprised to learn that ne was man
OF great wealth. because there was never
a man unspoiled by wealth. he was
not a great benefactOT because he was
great. but because Of the life he lived ana
the things he did. He fought his way INTO
the problems of his time lie did not
spend all his waking life thinking OF his
own affairs.
The granite of his native land seems
to have made the very tough fibre of his
nature. His ancestry his early environment
may have had much 20 do with making his
character. but I cannot help feeling that
the simple, characteristic. dignihed and, "
you will. severe faith of his fathers was
the rock on which his character was
built"
The Rev. DIR. George Washburn, formerly
tinople spoke Of Mr.. Kennedy's support
for that institution. John l.. Cadwalader
told of his influence on the growth Of the
Joint public library. and surprised some
of his hearers by speaking also Of Mr..
Kennedy as a sportsman other speakers

Presbyterian Board of Missions; Frederick
Sturges. vice-presideRt OF the Presbyterian

look at it in that light. hut that is what

look at il I'm that light hut that is what
comes
But not 50 fast That is the story Mr..
Locke tells I'm his book. That is not at all
the story Mr. Littell tells In the play. Sept
mus doesn't love Fora I'm the play. Fora
and tiein Sypher might as well be taken
ont Of the play altogether. Two persons
arc there claiming the names of these char
acters. hut they have nothing to do with
the play that Wiggleswick. or Aunt Jane.
or Mrs. Oldrieve could not have done Just
as Wen. And so. as Septimus DIX is not IN
love with Fora Middlemist. and as the Fora
of the play bears not even the remotest
resemblance 10 the Fora 81 the boOk-has
not even red hair-all the significance Of
Septimus's sacrifice goes for nothing. and.
IN fact, he makes no sacrifice at all. Take
Fora and Sypher out OF Locke's book. keep
them ont Of H. and what of vital sig
nifcance would be left concerning Septi-
mus? But that is what the dramstizer
does-he practically omits Fora and Sypher.
and there is no hint Of Septimuss great
love. This is rot dramatizing a book; IL is
violently assaulting IL.
The liay should have been called Sep
timus and Emmy" At any rate. Emmy is
quite as important I'm the play as Septi-
the honors with Mr.. Arliss II the man
ayers had searched the world for an Emmy
they could not have found a more perfect
impeTsonator of the part than Miss Ste
vens.
The audience liked the play-wss quite
enthusiastic over it. If there was very
little Locke there were three characters
completely IN the picture. Septimus.
Emmy and Wiggleswick. the latter part
admirably played by Mr. cyril Young.
These three would nave satisfied Nj.
] ocke himself. anu will rejoice mis- readers.
The last act was nearer to the spirit of
LOckery than the acts which preceded a..
But the story of the play has so little To
do with the story of the book that one
wonders why the playwright took the
trouble 10 mention the novel and To BIZ
row the names Of its people. He would net
have been accused of plagiarism if he had
called the play "OCtavius'' and had chosen
other rames for his characters. "Septimu-'
-Locke's 'Septimus' be drama
tized.
The play as II stands is not remarkable.
If IL has a successful run, it will be because
Mr. Arliss and Miss Stevens act SO delight
fully. In the last act Miss stevens is per
haps a little Overweighted But a little
more experience will help her there. She
has fine dramatic intelligence and rare
personal charm. AS for Mr.. Arliss-his
Septimus is quite as remarkable as his
Devil, quite a perfect work of art.
