e,l stage. Here will be a place tor
Bong and music for oratorio, and
opera and orchestra. Come tonight
and you will see the fairyland of
Shakespeare as the children and
young people enact the "Midsummer
Night's Dream" before your eyes.
It is an auspicious beginning of a
large use of the drama both as a
recreation and as an art interpreting
some of the deeper meanings of
life. i'UJL
1 would that I wore able ade
qualely to express what is In my
heart and in your hearts of appreci
ation of these dear friends, who in
their generosity and public spirit
have erected this building. When
they sought to build a memorial to
those they loved, they chose this
house, beautiful as the skill .and
art, the sense of line and color, of
the architect could make it and then
set It here to go on serving the
community thru all the coining
years. Over Its doors there Is really
written, thougil In Invisible letters,
the words of the text of this ser
mon: "I am In the midst of you as
he that serveth." This house stands
as a .veritable incarnation in endur
ing stone and lovely architecture of
the spirit of service which was i.i
Christ and which must be in His
church also.
A friend of mine once placed over
the exit of the new church where
ho was minister these words about
Jesus: "He went about doing good."
A no in explanation he said: "That
is the test of the whole matter
tho music, tha prayers, the sermon
do people go out into life from this
church inspired to go about ioU
good?" ' 1 am sure this beautiful
. building will have Just that con
stant and quiet influence. People
who gather here from time to time
will feel not only the beauty of ar
chltecture but also the spirit of ser
vice that ' prompted its erection as
a tribute of loving memory ana win
be inpired to go out, In, turn, as
those who serve, to go about doing
good. So this parish house, stand
ing here in its beatuiful grove of
trubd, shall spread its influence
throughout this lovely island.
After the benediction, pronounced
by Rev. R. G. Hall, the friends, old
and new, went out past the bronze
memorial tablet with hearts more
open to the sense of the glory and
divinity of love that outlasts these
changing years.
In the evening, again Che house
was crowded, not to the doors, but
beyond them, to the limits of the
broad lanai, by neighbors and friends
eager to see the children, of the
community take possession of the
pretty stage and cast spells of fairy'
land upon it. No magician less pow
erful, and no interpretor of human
life less sympathetic than Shape
speare would do for such an occasion.
He set a noble pattern. A lordly
court grouped about Duke Theseus
(Adrian 1 Englehard, and queenly
Hlppolyta (Edith Rice), who were
splendid in their wedding robes, and
courtly in their speech. A moonlit
forest where proud Oberon (Doro
thea Sloggett) and fair Titania(Ly-
dia Bodrero) held court delightfully
and called the flowers and moths
and fireflies to pleasant service,
and where Puck (Arthur Sloggett)
most whimsical and audacious of
sprites, worked his will with clum
sy mortals; and a comic scene where
rustic clowns played to utter con
vlncement the "fools we mortals be."
Bottom (John Midklff) was quite in
lmitable and Quince (Percy Lyd
gate) and his players, Snug (Rictu-
urd Rice, Flute, (Kenneth Kerwlnf
Snout (William Moragne) and Star
veling (Kenneth Hopper), whether n
the role of hard-handed men of Ath
ens or of performers in "Pyramus
and Thisbe," each played tis part
with individuality and humor. Bot
tom was a splendid "ornery" foil
for the leading fairies, the sweet Dew
Drop (Edith Sloggett) who opened
the moonlight scene with grace and
sang her airy song and later led
the swaying chorus in the queen's
lulaby; Peablossom (Ruth Hobby),
Cobweb (Dora Rice) ,Moth (Alice
Scott), Mustardseed (Qlen Hopper),
and the fairy sentinel (Eunice Scott)
who added variety and charm to
the larger group.
It was a true community play as
is proved when one tries from the
long list to assign praise, for all
'helped to make the affair a success,
from Miss Ethel Damon, who plan
ned and worked out the details' of
the evening's program with untir
ing enthusiasm, to the little group
of fairy flowers who swayed in time
to the fairy music. Miss Edith Rice
proved her genius as a maker of
costumes both in her striking and
lovely combinations of color and
the originality and skill of her de
signing. Mrs. carters rairy groups
were gay and spontaneous; Miss
Karrer and Miss Hardell were in
dispensable in prompting and watch
ing cues; the Misses Underbills
clowns interpreted their parts with
humorous success1; and Mrs. Bayless1
choruses carried the spirit of the
songs.
Even the outsiders caught the
ripirit of the occasion. The lovely
music by the Pasmore Trio unified
and helped create the glamor of
atmosphere; Mrs. Isaac Cox helped
Miss Damon happily in the final
putting together of the varied seen
es; and Miss Margaret Clarke's Set
tings for the fairy songs had the lilt
' and swing of elf-land, and the ap
preciation of the beauty of the occa
sion was felt in the little chant
like singing of the second stanza
of "The Blessings of the House" but
slightly altered from Shakespeare's
closing song:
"This pleasant chamber bless
Thru the years, with friendly peace;
And the givers of it blest
Ever shall in safety rest."

SCHOOL COMMISSION
.TO DECIDE ON SITE
OF ENGLISH SCHOOL
Definite decision with regard to
the establishment in Honolulu of a
public school for children from Eng
lish speaking families, regardless of
nationality, may be taken at a meet
ing of the territorial Bchool board
next Tuesday, says the Star-Bulletin
of last Thursday.
The commission will consider an
other petition received recently by
the department from parents in vari
ious sections of the city requesting
the establishment of such an lnstitu
tio: At Its last meeting the commis
sion went on record as favoring re
storing pf Central grammar, school to
school with strict English require
ments, but no action was taken to
ward carrying out this plan, the com
mission desiring first to obtain the
views of local civic organizatiyons.
In its discussion of the project the
commission went on record as being
emphatically opposed to anything that
saored of discrimination. The prob
lem now before tho commission is
that of a suitable building for the pro
posed new school. Should It be decid
ed definitelyy to restore Central
grammar school to its original status
a certain number of children now en
rolled there would have to be placed
in some other school, and with ex
isting congestion, this would be im
possible at this' time. Lack of funds
and tho necessity for retrenchment by
the county as well the territory, mak
es a new building out of the question
at present.
