THE STAGE
oARRlck.

Before an audience which filed the
Garrick theater to capacity, Sir Johns
ton Forbes-R Robertson and his associ-
ated players presented George lem
ing's decentralization Of Rudyard Kip
ling's famous story. "The Light That
Failed"
Dramatist Fleming has taken liber-
ties with Kipling's text in that he
has provided q happy ending. In
the story the bin dartist, who has
worked feverishly through days of
failing sight 4o complete his master
piece. only to have his work de-
stroyed at the moment of completion
by the hand OF spiteful drab, goes
to his death In the midst of battle
surrounded by shouting soldiery, and
with HIS old friends, the war cores
pondents and artists with whom he
spent his days before the light failed,
close at hand. In the play, the cur
tain falls on the reunion of the blind
hero with the girl he loves, her futile
ambitions forgotten. and her only
thought to make his dark days as
pleasant as may be.
Although the playwright has been
much kinder to Maisie than was the
author. on the whole, the original
story has been followed with fidelity.
Forbes-Robertson's portray OF Dick
Heldar. the artist, is above descrip.
ton. His patient. enduring love for
the shallow, self-centered girl. who
places her hope for an impossible
success before her confessed love for
him; the grim determination with
which he works at his last picture
with the darkness drawing closer;
the pride with which he refuses to
be burden to h jsfrfends. are all
brought out with consummate skill.
II Is the master work OF Kipling trans
planted to the stage.
Laura Cowie, as Maisie, presented
an admirable bit of work. She
played the shallow, selfish, misunder-
standing girl, and later, the loving,
self-sacrificing woman, In q manner
worthy of Forbes-Robertson' Dick.
ian Robertson, as Torpenhow. the
faithful friend of Dick, Is the re-
served, world-seasoned Englishman to

In order to extend help to a sinking
companion she is at a disadvantage.
Thus IL the ordinary rule Of the sea
reversed When vessel is disabled in
the course Of q peaceful voyage she
becomes instantly the primary object
Of consideration Of every ship within
call. No consideration OF commercial
necessity excuses the least hesitation
In proceeding to her rescue. When the
steamer volturno was discovered to
be af1re and called for help by wireless
ships came from a long distance In all
directions to lend her assistance. When
the Titanic sank ships left their
courses and sped toward her. and one
of them. bound for Europe. took on
all of her survivors who could be
reached and put back to New York to
land them In safety.
But in war an armed vessel is afioat
for a particular business. to do the
utmost damage possible to the ships or
shore defenses of the foe. She Is sur
rounded by perils, particularly in these
times of submarines and mines. and,
perhaps, airplanes and dirigibles. and
so far as her succor is concerned, when
a blow is received she must be her own
agent of salvation or sink with her
crew. The auxiliary craft of heet
may give aid, for they are not OF vital
Importance in the battle line, but the
major vessels, requiring many months
to construct, carrying hundreds of men
and a fighting equipment Of vast power
and great cost, must attend strictiy 10
their own business Of self-defense ana
destructive offense. Truly. the cry IN
naval warfare Is. "Sauve qui peut!

The fields are proudly wavin' where

An the moon that slowly rises sheds q
soft, mysterious glow
Across the homes that we-all folks
have loved since long ago.
We've had our share Of sorrows such
as fall to human kind.
But we think Of present duty, an the
past IL left behind.
Exceptin' when we pause to rest an
memory songs resound.
Like faint an distant echoes, as the
shadows gather round.
We know that strangers. sometimes
smile, while passin' on their way,
At the quaint, old-fashioned blossoms
in their generous array.
We know the moss has gathered
through the uneventful years
Around the churchyard stones that
have been moistened with our
tears. :.
But the sound Of strife an hatred has
been silent for DO long
That the weak have learned to look
with trustful eyes upon the strong
We're thankful, a. we hear Of deeds

The First Rule Of Sea Warfare,

A peculiarly poignant sense of the
fact that warfare permits no regard
Tor individual human life is gained
from the statement of the British ad-
miralty respecting the sinking Of the
three cruisers In the North sea by a
German submarine. The destruction
Of the Aboukir. the first ship struck
by torpedo. Is regarded as AN ordi-
nary hazard Of patrolling duty" but
the sinking OF the Hogue and the
Cressy was due to their having gone to
the rescue Of the victims of the drst
shot from the submarine. 1t does not
follow that II they had ignored the
Aboukir. save 30 far az to send calls
to small craft for help. and devoted
themselves to the avoidance of the
enemy and his possible destruction
they would have escaped, but the admi.
ralty lays stress upon the fact that
the rule Of marine warfare requires
that . vessel struck vitality in a mine
Aeld or in action must be left to heI
own resources SO far az large ships
are concerned. This rule puts ever5
wafship upon her own responsibilities
and places her In all circumstances IN
the best possible situation for defense
