ANDREW CARNEGIE

died yesterday in

his eighty-fourth year, was a remarkable man, and a man of great ability. That he was a real power in the life of his time not even his severest critic can deny. No man without power can win success in any field of human activity. Whether the power is rightly directed is another question. The success won may not bo worth winning. That also is a phase of the subject that need not now be considered. The man who begins with nothing, and ends with the possession of a half-billion dollars, is certainly a success ss a money

There is the same reward open to men today - if great wealth is their object — they are willing to bend every energy rd winning it. Given the ability — wmch is a large order —one may by the exercise of prudence, and by hard

AT THE ThfEATERS TODAY. Murat—"Fair and Warmer” ..........At 4:30 B. P. Keith s Vaudeville—At 2:». 7:» and 9 , “Fair and Warmer.” TJie outstanding impression on seeing “Fair and Warmer” for perhaps the half-dozenth time at the Murat Monday night is that Avery Hopwood's cocktail epic, prohibition or no prohibition, is a first-class farce. It is not only a model piece of stage carpentry with each part neatly fitted to the whole and suspense well maintained without crude or too obvious trickery, but it hss wit and distinction. More than occasionally its humor loses the Broadway stamp and becomes keenly observant and human. Altogether, a smooth piece of work, gay, knowing'—a little too much so— cosmopolitan, and still capable of provoking profound guffaws even from those who have seen It repeatedly. The second impression on observing Us presentation in the hands of the Stuart Walker company is that no other organization of the kind in the United States could have provided actors so peculiarly suited, physically and otherwise, for the 1

Mr. Kelly as the puszled, unbelievably innocent, hero, with his crinkled brow and his insufficient little mustache, his meekness, his triumph, his marvelous cocktail and hi* headache Is extraordinarilv successful in stirring the comic sense. A better performance could not have been expected had he been selected especially for the part from an army of applicants and had several weeks in

which to rehearse.

Ruth Gordon, who placed the part previously in a road company, likewise gives an unusually complete ami satisfying performance.- The part has not been better played here In any of the traveling companies. Mr. Hopwood could hardly hope to be more fortunate in getting two players more able than these to give the air of youth and unsophisticatlon to his piece without which it would be inexcusably offensive. The story, a few theatergoers may not know, tells of tho efforts of an innocent pair to arouse the jealousy of their re-
