For Ms reputation was saob that many who hnd never met bim esteemed him In that sen JO of worship Innplred only by rntlocol cbararters who take such part In tlie world's work ttnt tho accounts of their activities form a regular psrt of the dally xews. When Ihe annals of the theatrical world nbnil have been compiled In the far future, with a view tn ascertaining wbat men, among the many who have appeared In active asso- clJllon with tho world of amuiementfl, are worthy ot perpetual esteem, there Is no doubt bi!t that Lyman B.

"Luck Is Infatuated with liie elDclent." ' _ When Mehmed V. the Sultan of Turkey and First Caliph ot tlie Moslem world, wss ap- proached by an Aasnelateil Press correspondent at Oonslantlnniile and askeil whether he deemed luck a contributory factor In the Turks' recent victories olf Donlanelles. the Caliph replleil: "We. In tbe Turkish, bnve a saying, 'Luck la Infatnnted with the efflcent.' " It would be well for all showmen to carefully digest tlie significance of Meiimeirs words. We nerer hsd the honor ot meeting (lie nfth In ;lircct line ot s family ot fsmous Onllphs,' but wc Imagine It would lie worth onr time ami mnnev to (ake a trip to Conslanllnopie and heni be hlg ciiiet any Hiese words, giving them i,.b own brand ot arllenlnlion. But. while CoDslanllnopIe Is fsr away, Ihe In- terpretntiiin of Ihe Siiltnn's words is rerv neur at hand lo everylssly In the lUleil wo'riil of iimiiseeienlo. How often liare wc heard show people any, when the remarkable achievements of a lirl^it iinrlleuliir ainr among show fol: -.Tn-i mentioned: "Oh, yea, So-nnd-So is gcKinj: tbe money; gee, but he's a lucky dog." And iow much more rrriineiitly have wc heard (he 'inn who foiled liecnuso ot absolute lack of Inilinllve remark: "Luck isn't wilh me, though I've trl.'d my lerel liesi—sness I might ns well throw iri the siw.nge." The nisn who nllrihules snother man's.success and his own failure (o tlie Indiscriminate assign- meni of "blind luck" lieloiiga lo an ImU-clle »hm- liy tbst is more resimnslble than nnvliiing else In retarding ;he world's nalurni progress. Were oil the world to sdnpt ,iiieir Io:lc. engineers would loll about their Idle engines oheerly bec.inae tbey lack sufllclcnt energy lo get up ateani; ehaiiirenrs would desert aiiluniolilles as soon as tbey ran out of gssoUne, nnd nil the world would alt nround doing nothing, while waiting for "blbid luck" to do something. Forlunnlely, as the world advances, men are learning to lean npon luck less, and to depend upon Inltiatite more. We have always had the reeling (hat this progress was IndeOnably asso- ciated wllh wbat Is commonly termed Otarlslinn odrnace ot Christian nations. " It Is surprlaing to leara that the heathen Turk, sorroundcil by his nntlquatnl system of Internal economics, an oiJCL-t Hist many hold In pity "and contempt, vires voice to the snhllme llioiigiit: "Lack Is In- falunliHl with the elllcleul."
