Mr. Clarko contradicts himself. Ho
says In reply to u statement that Ho

said, 'I will take tho gamble. I do

If lm hudjciirod, peiliups ho hud not

Then again, "If Clarko cinnot make

THEN AND NOW
Edlior Evening 11 ti I lo 1 1 n:
Harry Corson Clnrko freoa himself of
somo pent-tip dlssntlsfuctlon In an In
terview which reflects upon Honolulu
os a show town when, really, It Is no
placo to snub. Thoso who know con
ditions oxprcsscd tho opinion that Mr.
Clarke's visit could not be tho suc
cess he antlclpfitcd us shown In his
beforc-urrlvnl communications. Tho
prophesy was based upon tho fact that
tho'Honolulu of today Is not tho same
ns ha' visited with Tim Frawlcy nnd a
practically all-star' company,' playing
throe nights nnd n nmtlneo a week.
Honolulu wus then a homo town nnd
tho citizens wore hungry for what
Frnwloy had to give them.' Mr. Clnrko
was n unit In tho company with n
willingness to be moro. Ho wus well
received, ns wns till of the company,
and tho plays were, In a measure, now
to. a majority of tho pcoplo und so
well acted that tho public literally fell
over itself In tho offort to secure scnts.
It may bo truthfully said that Mr.
Clarko furnished tho salt to tho dishes
served and tho seasoning wns qulto to
tho taste of tho pcoplo who showed
their appreciation by liberal applause.
This may liavo given Mr. Clarke the
Impression that tho seasoning has'
hung on tho palates of tho common-1
llv flllflnn' thn ulvtnnn vnnn tint ltnt.n

tween his first and Inst visit.
"What Happened to Jones" was
learned yearn ngo when tho Ellcfords
and the lluhlcrs presented their tank
circuit companion nnd "Why Smith
l.ert Home" was confided to Honolulu
theatergoers by those same players,
It might bo Infcrrod, Justly, too, that,
Clarko was under the Impression that'
Honolulu known not the difference I
between citrus fruits. So much
wealth has poured Into tho coffers ofi
Individuals hero during tho past de
cad 0 that they arc enabled to go
abroad und see. things; they aro as
up-to-date ns persons on tho mainland
anil they demand up-to-dnto theatrical
productions, If tho prlco for such Isi
demanded. Honolulu Is no longor the.
dog town where Indifferent companies
may bo tried, with profit to tho man
agers. J
With tho great masses tho tasto fori
tho good In theatricals has not been
olovutcd nnd thoso people will not pay
Clarke prices. Even with tho better
classes, tho moro educated, n six
night show will not succeed here und
thoro Is no floating imputation to do
pond upon as thoro Is In Now York
und many of tho largo cities on the
mainland. A company playing thrco
nights a wcok, with a matinee, and
having frequent changes of program j
might do us welt as Frawley at the ,
