GREAT FAITH EXPRESSED
IN AERIAL NAVIGATION
Lewis Nixon Discusses Possi-
biIities at Auto Club Dinner

NEW YORK, March 7.-Lewis Nixon.
the well known ship builder, spoke of
the possibilities of aerial navigation in
an address at the Richmond County
automobile clubs annual dinner last
night.
Aeroplanes in war, Nixon said. would
be used for scouting, the dropping of
small bombs and the attack of large
dirigibles The field of the helicopter
would probably be largely on warships
because of its ability to rise without
start.
Cities soon would have regular land
ing stations on the tops of houses, Nix
on said. and already people were build
ing docks where airships might alight
safely.
Just as big ship anchors far from
shore in deep water. so the airship will
anchor high up in the air and be reached
by special elevators held by cables
fastened to shackleS on the ground
Based upon observation and oalcula-
ticns made from results already OBJ
tanned, hence in no sense speculative it
was safe to predict, he said that the
airship would soon appear with a length
of from $500 to 5000 feet, which could
easily go with 100 passengers from here
to Europe and return within week.

Marrying Mary" as produced last
night at the American theater with
Florence Gear in the title role, is not a
subject for comparison. One is natu-
rally prone to bark back to the de-
lightful performance of this musical
comedy masterpiece as given by Marie
Cahill and begin all criticism with a
but" OF course, there is only one
Marie Cahill; yet. likewise. there is
only one Florence Gear. and the lat
ter is an individual who must be con-
sidered by herself alone-not as an
imitator.
Individuality is the essence of Mar
rying Mary" for it is the eccentricities
of the leading lady which gives it vim
and action. Florence Gear is more than
satisfying, and when that is said all
is said. She has adopted a part that
is difficult and that was originally
given life by the idiosyncrasies of an
inimitable comedienne. and she car
ries to it a new charm that is en-
tirely her own.
HER FUN PROVES INFECTIOUS
Here and there are reminders of
Marie Cahill, yet the whole is a very
distinct impersonation. The difference
is as marked as might be the interpre-
tation of a ShakespeareaE role by two
good actors of entirely different tenn
permanent.
Florence Gear had a twofold obstacle
to overcome last night. for she faced
an audience that was cold and unre-
sponsive. Some of the best lines In
the piece went over the footlights and
sailed out into Market street without
hand being stretched forth to inter
cept them the chill at times was op-
pressive. But, withal, Florence Gear
won friends and gave the INTO under
stand that she is a worthy successor of
the woman who first made Marrying
Mary a great success.
Miss Gears fun is infectious her
personality is charming and her sing
ing is excellent. In fact, ii was the
last named which finally warmed the
audience into a semblance of life.
