Mokihana Club's
Dramatic Program
Pleases Audience
Tho Mokihana Club furnished the
public with s'omo exceptionally good
ontertalnmont last Friday night
when thoy presontod three one-act
plays. Prom the time tho curtain
raised on tho first play until after
It fell after tho last ono there was
not ono dull moment In the program.
In Josh nilllngs' famous words, "Ev
erybody dono himself proud."
The first play was a pleasing
llttlo sketch, "Tho Maker ot Dreams"
by Ollphant Down. Lyndall Jacobs
as Ploretto, was soon tripping light
ly over the stage setting a table,
making tea and warming tho slip
pors before tho fire for Pierrot. Pier
rot, well played by Helen King, came
singing In, dreaming of' a beautiful
lady without a soul that hnd tfmlled
at him as ho sang that day. He
saw little of beauty or cheer In his
own llttlo flat and disregarding Pier
otto's charms and advances went
forth again to seek - tho unknown,
hard hearted beauty who had smil
ed at him earlier in tho day.
The Makor of Dreams, Frances
Middleton, camo In while Pierrot
was' gone and found Pler.ette crying.
When Pierrot camo back Ploretto
was sent to do some shopping and
tho Maker ot Dreams gave Pierrot
tho bill ot sale for his dream, a
fair haired, blue eyed lady with a
soul. To make a long story short,
when Pierotto came back, Pierrot
found that Bho exactly filled the
bill and all ended happily.
In the next play, Beauty and tho
Jacobin, by Booth Tarklngton, Mary
Knight as Anne, do Laseyne, T. E.
Longstreth as Marquis do Valney,
Uticrault, her brother and Sybyl
Morgan as Elolso d'Anville, their
cousin and former, fiance ot de, Val
ny, wero seen In a cheap rooming
house in Bologne In 1793 trying to
forgo passports out of Franco so
that they could escapo from tho Ja-
,.cobins who were then proscribing
and beheading all nobility of thoir
class that could be caught. The
fair Elolso was somewhat obstre
perous, proclaiming herself ono of
the people and In no Mcai. of the
guillotine. She objected to all the
preparations for flight and loudly
defamed her cousin and former fl
unco for his cowardly flight.
Then came tho sound of martial
music and entered Charles Fern
and William Balthls as Dossonvllle,
Valsln's aide. After much conver
sation Valsln, who was then In ab
solute charge of Bologne with pow
er of llfo and death over tho sub
jects, proclaimed that ho had spo
clal grievances against de Valny for
former Injuries and Intended to have
him beheaded. Tho fair Eloise woke
up to their danger at last and of
fered to marry Valsln If he would
protect her frlenls. Her wrath when
turned down gave Valsln an idea.
He decided that tho most subtle rje
vonge he could tako on do Valny
was to get him morrfed to Eloise.
He maneuvered so that all escaped
as women and the curtain fell as
Valsln fell exhausted Into a chair,
laughing at tho revenge he had ex
acted. All tho actors played thoir
parts admirably.
Tho last play, "Suppressed De
siros," by Goorgj Cram Cook and
Susan Gluspell, was a satire on psycho-analysis.
Beatrico Lano as Hen
rietta and Di T. J. Morgan as Ste
phen Brewster, her husband, wore
soon sotting at the breakfast table
fussing over psychoanalysis. Stovo
was decidedly opposed to tho art
which Henrietta won trying to forco
upon him at ovary occasion. Jus,
then Floyo Mldklf? as Mabel, Hen
rietta's sister, who had come from
Chicago to visit them, came to break
fast. In a very shor.t tlmo Henrietta
, had discovered that Mabel ought to
be "psyched" and hud cited the ex
amples of several of her friends
that, had been told by tho Infallible
psycho-analyzer that thoy should
pnrt with their husbands. Steve,
in desperation, goes off to bo psych
ed too.
In the second scono Steve comes
In and gently Informs Henrietta
that tho doctor of psycho-analysis
had told him that he had u sup
pressed doslro to leave hor. Henri

KAPAA NOTES
:
A concert at tho Hawaiian hall,
followed by a dance nt tho Kapaa
hall, was given by tho Christian
Endeavor Society of Kapaa on Sat
urday evening. An unusually large
crowd was present at both halls,
making tho affair a success In every
way. Dan Hano and his orchestra
furnished the music for tho dance.
Walter Eklund, who, for tho past
three years has' been tho von Hamm
Young Co.'s representative on Kauai
departed last Wednesday for Hllo,
whero ho will take up tho manage
ment of tho company's branch In
that city.
Naturp is apparently lending a
helping hand towards tho prevention
of further washing away of that
part of tho government road lead
ing to tho Wallua bridge from Ka
paa. For the past threo years, the
waves gradually washed away tho
sand bank until It threatened to de
stroy parts of tho entire road, but
a chango for tho better began sev
eral months ago, and the waves
have been piling up tho sand, form
ing a bank, extending more than
thirty feet in somo places, from the
roadside. A stono wall is being built
by the county along this section.
Japanese wrestlers' from all over
the island had a great day giving
exhibition matches at Wallua, on
the Japanese school grounds on Sun
day. Quito a number of wrestling
fans attended, in spite of the huge
crowd which attended the opening
of the 1922 baseball season at Llhue.
A gasoline lamp In one ot the
Japanese barbershops burst Into
flames about 10 o'clock Saturday
night and blazed merrily away, while
the proprietor, too excited to do
anything, stood In the room as if
fascinated by tho grandeur of tho
spectacle. A party of boys' passing
at the time rushed into the build
ing, threw a blanket over the blaze,
and smashed the lamp to extinguish
it.
A piano for tho local National
Guard armory! Sounds strango, does
n't It? But It is a fact. One was
put in yesterday by Mrs. Sennl, but
its' not for tho guard company to
bo, but for tho local girls' club, who
has been given permission to use
the building as a club house.
Mr. and Mrs. Frnnk B. Fernandez
welcomed the arrival of their first
child .an eight pound baby girl, on
Monday, May 1st, at thoir homo
hero. Tho baby has been christened
Dorothy May Fernandez.

Cattle Thief Is Let
Off With A Fine
Francisco Luis was convicted ot
cattle stealing in tho Kapan dis
trict cour.t last Saturday, and fined
two hundred and fifty dollars. Phil
ip Contrades, John Contrades and
Kaanee, n Hawaiian, were nlso
found guilty and given a thirteen
mouth's suspended sentence.
It Is alleged that the cattle thiev
ing has been going on for consider
able time nnd had assumed such
proportions that tho Makeo Sugar
Company, who wero tho principal
sufferers, offered a r.eward of two
hundred and fifty dollars for tho
arrest and conviction of the offend
ers. John Hano, tho deputy sheriff of
Kapaa, did a llttlo sluothing and
managed to get tho data on one of
the men and ho promptly turned
states' evidence on the rest of tho
gang.
Tho samo group it is alleged were
arrested last December for tho
samo offense, but owing to tho lack
of evidence, wero released.
iloo Stash in reviewing tho caso
says that tho Makeo Sugar Comp
any has ono satisfaction in the af
fair. It cost tho head of the gang
almost as much a& It cost them to
settle tho affair, though of course
tho Makee Sugar Company Is out
a lot of beef. Joe days-with tho
high cost of beef It ought not take
any one very long to get, tho price
of a fine back. Joe thinks that
this game beats bootlegging ns
people must eat.
KAPAA HOMESTEADERS

Becauso tax bills wore not receiv

Hapai, acting territorial treasurer,

ferment' of payment ot sume.
Hapai points out that the law
makes no provisions for any re
ductions In such cases. The home
steaders' condition will be alleviat
ed next year, howover, ho believes,
as tho price of sugar will probably
havo risen by that tlmo.
