METROPOLITAN CAST AT FAIRYLAND SAT.
With a metropolitan cast of unusual excellence, the Madison Square Producing Co. will present at the Fairyland theatre tomorrow only, one of New York's greatest comedy hits, "A Successful Calamity."
The play which was written by Clare Kummer, author of "Rollo's Wild Oats," "Goodness Gracious Annabelle," and other Broadway successes, will introduce a galaxy of well-known eastern stage luminaries, including Boyd Irwin, who next season will appear on Broadway in support of Ruth Chatterton, Miss Ruth King, who has achieved laurels both on the speaking stage and on the screen, is cast for the stellar feminine role in the production.
"A Successful Calamity" is comedy presented in its most appealing form. Absurdities that create irresistable laughter permeate the play, which is tempered, however, by a note of seriousness and a climax that rises to dramatic heights.
The story centers about a New York millionaire whose family is engrossed in a ceaseless round of social entertaining, to the end that the family circle is hopelessly disrupted. Lonking for a quiet evening at home with his young second wife and his son and daughter, John Wilton has the idea of pretending that he is financially ruined. Unforeseen complications follow upon his announcement and the results threaten for a time to prove disastrous not only to the happiness of his son and daughter, but to himself and wife.
Humor runs high during the unfolding of the plot, which is plausible and interesting, while the dialogue sparkles with wit and clever repartee.
Following is the cast for "A Successful Calamity":
John Wilson, New York financier, Boyd Irwin; Emmie, his young second wife, Ruth King; Eddie, his son, Ross Forrester; Marguerite, his daughter, Alma Francis; Strathmore.
CONVENTION CLOSES TODAY
With a brief business session this morning, the 20th annual convention of the southern district California Federation of Women's clubs, came to a close, where, since Tuesday, it has been in session in First Presbyterian church in Santa Ana. A boat ride on Newport harbor was offered the ladies for entertainment this morning, and a delightful motor trip over Lemon Heights was given them last evening before the banquet at St. Ann's Inn.
Through resignation, Mrs. A. W. Wolford, of Escondido, president of the California Women's clubs, southern district, is giving up her office, and Mrs. F. W. Haman, of San Diego, was selected to succeed her. The resignation will be officially accepted at a meeting of the executive board in Riverside, Dec. 15, and Mrs. Haman will be elected.
Edward L. Hardy, head of the State Teachers college in San Diego, addressed the convention yesterday afternoon, ascertaining that the average student quits school at the eighth grade. He says our system gives the college student special attention and opportunity. His idea is not to give them less, but to give the younger students more attention and opportunity, to build the right kind of foundation. He spoke against the tendency in high school courses, "Roman archeology and Roman law and algebra, with the English language, being merely incidental," he said. He declared that the youth of today is characterized by a good deal of front, but deep in his heart is a good deal of sincerity, and that sincerity is opposed to war.
The convention was held last evening at 6 o'clock, and was followed by several splendid talks.

NINE MILLION CARS IN OPERATION NOW
"Auto ownership has reached such a figure in this country that the servicing of cars has become truly a public service in every sense of the word," says George Dunton, local Ford and Fordson dealer.
"There are over nine million cars running in the U. S. today and to keep them all running and in satisfactory condition is the gigantic task that is put up to the service men of the country."
"Public recognition of the responsibility of each dealer for the cars he sells is bringing an evolution of auto merchandising." Cars to sell is but one small feature of the modern dealer establishment. The shrewd buyer looks further than the salesroom and satisfies himself before purchase that the dealer can handle the added responsibility of a new car on the road and a new owner to satisfy."
