For the spectacular it would be hard to conceive of anything that could excel "Fire and Sword." Dramatized and filmed from the stirring novel from the pen of Henryk Seinkewicz, whose "Quo Vadis" created a great sensation a number of years ago, the picture deals with conditions of the day in the Arabic East. Opening with scenes in Tangiers the action of the film shows the methods employed by "harem fiends" of that far-away land in "refurnishing" Ills "home." The Grand Vizier of Fez becomes enam ored of a beautiful American gill in Tangiers, orders her abduction and hastens across the desert to the sacred city of Fez with his fair cap tive. The SulUn of Fez falls in love with the captive and demands that the Grand Vizier turn her over to dec orate the "chief harem." Reluctantly the Grand Vizier com plies and proceeds to institute a revo lution and overthrow the Sultan. The revolution is a great success in so far as the overthrow of the Sultan is con cerned, but the Grand Vizier fails to retake his former captive, both he and the Sultan meeting death, and the American girl being rescued through the efforts of a New York newspaper man who finally claims her heart and hand. Thrilling is the correct word to de scribe the fighting that is portrayed during the revolution in Fez. Not tht fighting that is now being prosecuted in Europe, but the more romantic hand-to-hand encounter of the less "civilized" countries. The scene in which the Sultan's palace is fed to the flames and daring escapes made by the American girl and her rescuers are just about as realistic as anything could be made. It is a big spectacu lar picture, ably acted and artistically filmed. To be shown at Wailuku Orpheum, Thursday, January 7th. tim. J 1 1 "Kahuna of Lanai" Gets Full Pardon Pulolo, Aged Hawaiian Woman Murder Released By Executive Clemency After 23 Years Mur dered Nephew, Sister and Lover. After serving nearly twenty-three years in the Territorial prison in Ho nolulu lor her part in three brutal murders, Pulolo, an aged Hawaiian woman, now nearly sixty years of age, was released on Christmas day on pardon from Governor rinkham. The woman was known as a kahuna, and was greatly feared, it is said, on the Island of Lanai, where her crimes were committed early in the year 1802. At the time ol her lelease, she had been in prison probably longer than any other prisoner in 'lie insti tution. Pulolo's crimes were among the most notorious ever committed in these islands, and her brutality in their commission so stirred the citi zens of Maui and Lanai Hint alter the first trial, when she was convicted by a native jury, the second trial was transferred from Wailuku to Kauai, to obtain a more impartial jury. During her many later years in prison It is said Pulolo has reformed and repent ed of her early evil deeds. She comes forth now an agcl, broken and deeply chastened woman. The story of her crimes and their motive, as related by the newspaper files of 22 years ago, is briefly that she claimed the powers ol a kahuna, or sorceress, and, falling in love with her sister's husband, set. out to kill the sister and her own husband, that she might be free to many the brotli-er-inlaw. In order to accomplish this without cc'sing suspicion of her real motives, she began by punishing a 6-year-old boy, the son of her elder brother. Assisted liy her retinue of "soldiers" she first assaulted her hus band, cowed him and then literally beat the child to death. Aided actively by the sweetheart she wished to marry she then assault ed her sister. The muiderous couple bound the sister and buried her head in hot sand until she was suffocated. Placing that body beside the corpse of the boy in the little family house Pulolo called upon two of her servi tors and seized Kaholokai, her sweet heart and former aide, caused him to be bound and then beat him to death with her own hands. It was under stood that her sudden change of tac tics, in turning on her sweetheart and killing him, was through fear that he would reveal the true details of the affair. On the morning following the triple murder, still exercising her Influence over her retinue, she had the house and all three bodies burned, to hide the evidence of the crime, and pre pared a plausible story which her friends were instructed to tell in ex planation of the deaths. Some old-time Ilawaiians placed great faith in her alleged power as a kahuna, and a story is even told of her use of the baleful occult uilljenec some years ago, during her incarcera tion. This is to the eflect that she told anothei fcnn.le prisoner who had in ( urred her enmity: "You will not live 24 hours after you leave prison." The tale is that her prophecy came true, the woman taking ill immediately after her re lease and dying within the time pre scribed by Pulolo. NOTICE TO PATRONS.

COLORADO HOTEL MEN ARE WISE. A majority of the prominent hotel and restaurant men of Denver have expressed their opiniou that without a doubt the prohibition law passed at the recent election will prevail and be put in force. It is to be heard in other quarter!? that there is still a chance of recalling the amendment prohibiting the sale of lirpuor. This is not the idea of the hotel men in general. They are for enforcing the law, and have pledged themselves to see that it is enforced so far as it concerns themselves. Colorado Tour ist and Hotel Reporter. AUFRUF.
