Nation.I-aA Successful Calamity,


The new comedy by Miss Clare Kum-
mer, given at the National Theater last
evening before a large gathering Of eager
first-nighters, starts its career with all
the gifts Of advantage that a kind pro-
ducer could shower on it First Of all, It
has William Gillette, one Of the best
loved figures of the American stage, with
all the prestige and exceptional drawing
power that must follow his name. Fur
therrnore, it has the benefit of a very
competent cast, including several charm
ing young women and self-possessed
young men, whose restrained but easy
style of acting suggests that they have
found profit in Mr.. Gillette's instruction
or example. And by way Of background
the play boasts two interior settings ex-
hibiting the unusual and pleasing art OF
Robert Edmond Jones.
With all these blessings, one natur-
ally expected much of "A Success
full Calamity" BY no means unin-
teresting, containing many bright and
1auzhable lines and situations, the
play nevertheless disappoints by the
slightness of its theme, the transpar-
ercy of it's devices, and the occasional
triteness of its humors and sentiments.
As social satire 1t is truthful and
amusing, but scarcely keen or subtle.

in the principal role is the feature of
greatest value and the character is by
no means unworthy of his artistry. e.-a
Henry Wilton, the character played by
Mr. Gillette, Is a wealthy business man
a little past middle age, who finds that
under the combined stress Of business
and social activities anything like quiet
family life has melted away. A morbid
suspicion seizes him that his young wife.
his son, and his daughter look on him
only as the easy provider of good things
and have no real affection for him. So
he tries the plan of telling them that he
is ruined He finds immediate relief and
happiness. for each member Of the fam
lily rises to the occasion with cheerful
ness, courage, and sympathy. But his
wife has a sentimental friendship with
an Italian portrait painter which threat
ems trouble. train Of circumstances Is
laid which leads both the people of the
play and the audience to suppose that
Emmie has run away with the painter
and all her jewels, after drugging her
husband. How It ends up is the authors
pet surprise and there is no need of
the disclosure.

fire In RUBBISH
PILE BURNS 6 HOURS

A pile of rubbish on the river bank,
near the factory of the Cape Handle
Co., in South Cape, became ignited
yesterday afternoon and burned all
evening. The Cape fire department
was called out about 5 o'clock, after
the employees had made an unsuccess-
full attempt to extinguish the flames.
The firemen were kept busy until a
late hour last night hurting water on
the smoldering debris.
The factory was not endangered at
any time, according to George Camp
bell, owner Of the factory. He said
no damage had been done in any way.
The debris had been accommodating for
years.
The smoke was discovered shortly
before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The employees of the factory formed a
bucket brigade, leading from the river
to the place, where the rubbish was
burning. After an hours work the
employees found they could not extin-
guish the fire and called the city fire
department.
The firemen fought the blaze for
more than six hours. They returned
about II o'clock last night. The sound
of the fire gong attracted many men
who were returning home from the
actories in South Cape and all took
willing hand in fighting the fire. NJ
E. Leming, whose sawmill is located in
the immediate vicinity of the handle
factory, went to the scene late last
night, fearing that his plant might
have been damaged.
