to see something not tbc work OF a
heaven born drainatist, but of a play
wright. In a way Mr.. Craven's clever
farce suggests Rupert Hughes's "Ex-
cuse Me-" but that is chiefly in its me-
chanics. Just as the actors in this epic
Of the sleeping car had only as much of
the stage as remained from the seats to
act on, so the new house which was
building occupied most of the stage In
TOO Many Cooks Thus there was
little space for the players. except the
small part of the stage unencumbered
by the structure about which the plot
revolvcd.
The fun of Mr.. Craven's speeches is
almost invariably the humor of the sit
uation. How much more potent that
is to smusc an audience than the sup
posedly scintillating witticisms of the
philosophers of life who write most
/ comedies nowadays "A visit to the Thir-
ty-ninth Street Theatre will show. Here
is hearty and genuine laughter. not the
staccato and Apologize smoker that
sounds like the cracking of thorns UNI
der a pot. We sincerely hope that Mr..
Craven will give an authors matinee.
We know OF several who would profit
by visit to this little play. Certainly
enough bad farces have been written by
amateurs during the past two years to
insure a full house IL only their authors
could be persuaded to attend. Then II
would do them worlds Of good unless the
difference between what they have beer
trying to do and what Mr.. Craven hal
so successfully accomplished discour
aged them entirely. Even that result
would not be altogether dcplorable.

New Plays of Foreign

~ LAWRENCE REAMER.

w WILLIAM GILLETTE has shown
w himself such skilful play
wright that his recent obser-
vations as to the comedy OF
the future must have been made when
he was altogether overwhelmed by his
admiration for J. NJ. Barrie. Mr.. Gill
lette processes 10 think that the com
cdy Of situation is thing of the past
and that such plays as The Legend
Of Leonora' are the type OF comedy
that future audiences will demand. The
comedy Of character is to supplant alto
gether tho comedy OF situation.
Few dramatic works by J. NJ. Barrie
have ever seemed to the writer lacking
in the sound principles of the play
wrights art. He has always seemed
70 control a degree Of craftsmanship
which should have satisfied any play
wright aiming TO put his ideas forward
in skilful form. As to the matter that
his plays contain. that is altogether the
genius Of Barrie. 1t is the famous
humorist, the amiable satir,st, the
whimsical poet speaking through the
mouths Of his characters and acting In
their deeds. Mr.. Gillette il too wise
. man to advise anybody to initiate
tho formula Of Barrie unless he be
happily gifted with the genius Of that
writer. Unluckily for the drama there
are no other Barrics. We and certainly
the rest OF tho theatregoing world wish
there might be. But until another
arises on this bepighted earth the plays
Of Barrie are not going to be like an,
others in the world for the simple rea
son that no other writer for tho Eng
llsh speaking stage IL possessed OF hi
genius. The same Is true OF the come
dies of Bernard Shaw. Luckily Their
have been few imitators Of Barrie. Thu
degree Of his genius has been respect
fully recognized.

ESQ ARE RESCUED
FROM STEAMER
Passengers Are Saved From
Burning Lake Boat.
CITY OF CHICAGO is RUINED
Government Life Savers Bring to Safe
ty Hundreds of Excursionists I'M
periIed by Fire on Big Craft
on Lake Michigan.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-With flames leap
ing from the hold and the wireless
apparatus dead, Capt. Oscar Bjork and
his crew of go men raced seven miles
with death Tuesday and brought the
excursion boat, the City Of Chicago.
with Zoo passengers, most of them
women and children, crashing into the
without the loss of life.
The vessel, with capacity of 1900
passengers, was inbound from Benton
Harbor. Scores of excursionists were
returning from the Michigan fruit
belt.
Fire was discovered just aft of the
walking beam in the hold when the
$275,000 steamer of the Graham &
Morton line was abreast the Carter
Harrison crib at 4:39 a. m. The fire
bells were sounded and the passengers
scrambled out of their berths. Mount
ing the bridge, Captain Bjork gave the
engine-room the signal for full speed
ahead.
Captain Bjork directed the course of
the burning ship from it's south-by-
west course to due south. This prompt
action doubtless avertcd one of the
greatest tragedies in the history of
lake navigation. When the boat was.
turned the wind was raking the YES
sci, tanning the flames. BY the quick
turn the boat was brought under the
edge of the wind.
While passengers were dressing hur-
riedly and the crew assuaged their
fears the vessel began blowing
through the rushing waves at full
speed No attempt was made to man
the lifeboats. Life and death depend
ed upon covering the seven miles to
the government pier before the fire
enveloped the boat Captain Garland
of tn U. S. life-saving station and his
crew rescued all the passengers.
