THE MAUI NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1920. THEATERS "The Rainbow Trail" Those who saw the thrilling story of enrly Utah days, "Riders of the Purplo Sage," some weeks ago will appreciate the announcement that a sequel to It, entitled "The Uainhow Trail," is the feature for this week at the picture houses. As in the "Iliders of the Turple Sage," William Farnum plays the stel lar role, which is one peculiarly ad apted to his talents and style of act ing before the camera. "The Rainbow Trail," takes up the fortune of Lassiter, Jane W'ithersteen and the girl, Fay Lnrkin, years after they have been locked up in a lost canyon. Not only does Mr. Farnum again portray the role of Lassiter, the two-gun Juan and terror of the Utah border, but he also takes the part of Shefford, a two-fisted fighting man who goes to the rescue of these im prisoned people. This duel role gives Mr. Farnum boiiic of the most splen did opportunities of his screen career, and he rises to his opportunities like the sterling actor that he is. "Counterfeit" Elsie Ferguson, during her exten sive career, has been called upon to do a variety of unusual things. But in "Counterfeit," for the first time she tries her hand at safe-cracking. It is quite in line with her past perform ances that she does a very clever and neat job. The only untoward develop ment that mars it is the fact that the man she loves has been watching her without her knowledge and is at a loss to know her motives. This is one of the dramatic moments in "Counterfeit," a film which presents Miss Ferguson in one of the most fit ting and interesting characterizations of her career. "The Cinema Murder" A thrilling story is unfolded under the title "The Cinema Murder." The play revolves about the supposed slaying of Douglas Romily by his cousin Thilip during a fight. Elizabeth Dalston, an American actress, from a nearby bridge, takes a snapshot of the fight. She meets rhilip later on a steamer and shows him the picture, but tells him from what she saw she knows he acted in self-defense. The two young people fall in love and Philip lets Elizabeth read a play he is writing. When they arrive in New York, Philip finishes the play and Elizabeth Kets Power to open the new theater with it. The play and the new star are both hits. Power finds out that his playwright and his star are in love and is wildly jealous. While he is trying to get Elizabeth for him self, detectives arrive from England in search of the murderer of Douglas. Philip is placed under arrest, but the reappearance of Douglas, who was only stunned, brings matters to a sat isfactory end. "When Fate Decides" Madlaine Traverse in the William Fox photoplay, "When Fate Decides proved once more that she is an ac complished actress with great power to picture intense human emotions. This new play gives her an acutely ensotional role, and she holds her au dience with a power to move them to tears or smiles at will. The story is of an unloved wife, struggling to do a hard part without sacrifice of wom anly honor. True love finally crowns her, after many moments of breath less suspense over a murder mystery, in which the authorities suspect her s the slayer, while she fears the crime was committed in a quarrel by the man she loves. This situation is worked up to a very thrilling climax. "Scarlet Days" David Wark Griffiith's new picture production, "Scarlet Days," is a story of California in the gold rush days of '49. It is based largely upon histori cal facts, as the central figure, called Alvarez In the film, is really Joaquin Murictta, a sort of Robin Hood of the west who used to roam the highways robbing tho rich and giving to the poor. Around this chivalrous desper ado Mr. Griffith has woven a story said to furnish plenty of thrills and heart interest. The locale Is an old time mining town, where Rosy Nell is queen of the dance hall. She has a daughter In an eastern seminary, ignorant of her mother's past. On the very day the girl returns, Rosy be comes involved in a fight with a- r woman of the hall. Her opponent dies suddenly from heart failure and Rosy, accused of killing her, is about to be lynched when Alvarez appears and rescues her temporarily. The rest of the story portrays the successful efforts of the bandit and a blue blood f-tom Virginia to save the girl from the clutches of a bully named Bagley, ending in a desperate fight and the sacrifice of Alvaret.

Cooke Flans Big Dairy On Molokai Senator George P. Cooke intends to make of the ranch on Molokai which he purchased a couple of weeks ago from his brother, Clarence II. Cooke, a supply depot of milk and other food products for the Honolulu market. The Star-Bulletin further explains Mr. Cooke's plans as follows: Those familiar with the plans of the senator agree that there are huge pos sibilities in the proposition. It is re marked in this connection that the distance between the Cooke ranches on Molokai is no greater than between Honolulu and Ewa. The senator is already the head of the largest ranch business on Molo kai, but only beef cattle are raised, no attention being given to milk. It is the intention to put in a herd of heavy milkers from British Columbia, an expert being now on the ground there and engaged in the work of selecting the stock. A boat is now being constructed In Honolulu harbor to be put on this un and bring to Honolulu, either daily or every oilier day, fresh milk and other kinds of ranch produce. This boat will be somewhat on the sampan order, but will differ in that its freight compartments, deck, etc., will be constructed witli a special view to the particular work it will be expected to undertake. Senator Cooke states that he will enter competition independently. If the scheme is trie success it promises to be, other boats may be put on and an even larger ranch on another is land connected up with the system. Col. Sam Parker Dead Col.

Phone Market Street Religion And The Home By Rev. Hugh V. White Pastor Kahului Union Church "Be it ever so humble There's no place like Home." These words from the familiar song express simply and directly the feel ing of men everywhere. Home Is a charmed word. It carries with it the thought of security, love, comradeship. For home is more than a house to live in. It is a circle of human companion ship in which the most sacred human ties are made. The natural ties of blood are rendered more enduring by ties of the spirit and a home still holds its influence over its members long after they have been separated in tho body. The breaking up of a home which results when children grow up is only that other homes may be established. The normal course of life for the young man or woman is to leave home in order to build a home. Homes are the permanent centers of human life and they are all linked together by the ties of love and loyalty just as tho whole race is of one blood. So vital an institution is tho home to human happiness that its failure always brings sorrow and loss. To preserve the home from any influence that would rob it of its power to make life wholesome and to foster harmony and good will is one of the greatest of human tasks. Such a service can be fully render ed only by religion, for for the spirit of the home is essentially religious. No home can endure without love, un selfishness and the willingness of each to subordinate personal desires to the interests of the home. It is just this spirit that religion consists in and the development of the religious life lays the firm foundation for the home that can endure. Religion sanctifies human ties by making men conscious of their spirit- Dl ED NORTON In Honolulu, March 19, 1920. Tamar, wife of Benjamin H.
