GOODMAN RESPECTS
LUCK OF STAGELAND
"Man Who Came Back" Dramatist
Refuses to Analyze His
Success

Jules Eckert Goodman, who drama
t'zed the John Fleming Wilson story,
THE Man Who Came Back" now at
the Adelphi, was asked recently how
he accounted for the unusual success
achieved by the play during its fifty
seven weeks run in New York and since
then on tour, Mr.. Goodman replied with
n quotation from Balzac, ''Only II fool
tries TO understand his good fortune"
"Then," his questloner persisted, you
believe that the element of luck has "A
great deal to do with the successful
play?
"Of course IL has" Mr.. Goodman re-
piled. 1T is the greatest factor of sue
cess. 1t is So important that when you
ask me to account for the thing, | say
what is the use of being an accountant
when you have nothing to account"
Won't YOU even admit that The
Man Who Came Back is a good play"
~ will admit only that there are a
sufficient number of people who Hike il
and pay their money to see It to make
1t very substantial success"

Massachusetts Auxiliary Members
Break Record in War Work.

The receipt Of an $4,000 check by
the Navy Relief Society from Mrs.
w. r. Bush. wife of the COmmandant
of the Boston Navy Yard. with no
tice that $4,000 additional had been
invested for them in liberty bonds,
marked Yesterday as an epochal day
in the annals of that organization.
This amount, which comes from
the Massachusetts auxiliary. is by far
the largest sum ever received at one
time from any branch. and its size
is chiefly due to the untiring and pa
triotic efforts of Mrs. Bush, who has
long been an ardent worker in all
the society's varied activities.
The Naval Relief Society, which has
Its national headquarters in Wash
inGton. was organized in 1904 to look
after the families of men who lose
their lives in the service. Admiral
Dewey was for many years president
of the society, and held that office
at his death.

In submitting the report for the
consideration of the committee, Will

movement of the alley dwellers to
