The appalling calamity which the tragic loss of the Titanic spread over the civilized! world, has been fully commented upon by the press until there Is little left to say about It. Hod there been a sufficient num- ber of boats, everybody on board might have been saved. Had tho water-tight bulkheads In the Titanic been kept cloied at night, or In heavy -weather, the ship might have been saved. But If the ship had sailed a safer course, even though It might lengthen the trip somewhat, the accident would not have happened. The perfection of construction was thought to have been reached in our ocean liners, and the absence of serlouB ac- cident to them for a long time gave rise to the belief that they were perfectly safe—at least as safe as any other means of travel—> but the rivalry amongst the different com- panies has resulted in tho building of ships of abnormal site, equipped with powerful boilers and engines, which are worked up to the limit of their power In order to scale down the running time a few hours between Kuropc and America. It was this desire to save a little time that caused the Titanic to take the northern (or abort) course on her maiden trip, a course which expert mariners tell ub would be absolutely dan- gerous ten days hence. It is inconceivable why a floating palace, representing millions of dollars, and freighted with over two thou- sand priceless lives, should have been per- mitted to run tbc slightest risk that could be avoided. Water-tight bulkheads will doubtless keep a ship afloat, If they are kept securely closed, and why they are allowed to bo open until an accident actually hap- pens, Is mysterious, particularly when the closing of these bulkheads is dependent upon complicated machinery which the accident may render Inoperative. The answer to all these reflections Is contained In tho fact that the accident was never expected to happen; tbe senso of security In ocean travel was so great that risks were Incurred that had been often taken before, and which probably would have continued to be taken. It Is always bo in every walk of life, and remedies do not come until a calamity, more or less dreadful, makes them, imperative. What- ever might have been done, and no matter whose fault it is, it does not lessen tbe anguish of those who nrc mourning the loss of loved ones whose bodies arc now In the depths of the relentless sea. • » » NEW THEATRE FOR NEW BEDFORD. The Orphcum, a new theatre, seating 1,500, built In the most modern style, was dedicated April 15, the feature act being the Durand Musical Five, others on tho bill being: Han- son and company, magicians, and Jack Mc- Cort, accordion soloist. The house <s under tbc management of II. A. Chenowetb, who Is also manager of the Coralque, thus giving artists a full week In New Bedford, Mass. It is a beautiful building, new from the ground up, containing a big dance hall, of- fices and stores, and was erected by a French society. The policy is three shows a day. «' » LEW 0,UINN SUCCEEDS MAURICE. Lew Quinn has succeeded Maurice in tbe cabaret at Louis Martin's, opening tbere on Sunday, April 21* Auei.ia Binoiiak, hi her original idea, "Big MomentB from Great Plays," will be an early wayfarer over the Orphcum circuit next season. Miss Bingham has an enviable repu- tation both as a legitimate actress end ns a vaudevil Hon. During her Western trip she will use the Important scenes from plays of her repetrolre. Miss Bingham will be sup- port ed by a capable company, Including Lloyd Bingham. Rehearsals of David Belasco's production of "The Drums of Oude," Austin Btromg's thumb-nail sketch of the Sepoy Mutiny, are in program at the Republic Theatre, New York. Prior to tbj opening of the piece on tbc Orphcum Circuit, an Invitation perform- ance will be given. Thb Orpheum Circuit Booking Depart- ment has arranged a return tour for Kd. Wyitn. Mr. Wyna Is well end favorably re- membered as "The boy with tbe funny bat." On this trip he will be assisted by Ldmond Russoa, an English comedian. i 'ksaiie Nesi, "The East Side Caruso," will shortly begin an Orpheum Circuit tour. Nesi Is the statuette peddler who was discovered singing on the East Side, and In a night jumped Into fame and much greater fortune. The praise showered on David Belasco's production of "Madame Butterfly" Is almost overwhelming. In tbe brief period of the Or- pheupm Circuit tour the little classic has been greeted In a manner most encouraging, and to Mr. Beck's flattering Idea of better vaude- ville. Tub versatile Scot G. S. Meivln Is at pres- ent voyaging from London to begin a tour over the Orpheum Circuit. Melvin is the proprietor of the music hall at Glasgow, but tbe wanderlust causes him yearly to go on a brief tour. Last year be went to Australia, end this time he Is bound for America. Thomas A Wise, early next season, via tbe Orpheum Circuit, will make his first Western trip since he achieved stellar promi- nence. Mr. Wise sails shortly for Europe. He is going abroad for rest and pleasure, and will spend most of his vacation at the watering places. Thb eccentbic juggler, W. C. Fields, who recently returned from a two years' foreign tonr, has added materially to both tils dexterity and eccentricities slnco he was last seen over the Orpheum Circuit. In his own line Fields probably stands alone. fox man. APRIL, 22-24.
