was the bit of sunshine darting here
and there and everywhere throughout
the play. First at one door, then at

were all excellent in their parts.
There remains but one character to
mention-that of Schwartz, one or the
men at the works-taken by Mr.. Will

of the workingman, as assumed in
these fn-de-siecle days, and the hatred
of labor for capital were well depicted
by Mr.. Enos.

MIR. FRAWLEY SPEAKS.
Says Honolulu People Very Much
Prefer to Witness Comedy.

The play of Moths" by the Frawley
Company at the matinee yesterday.aft-
ernoon, was attended by large nhm-
Der of ladies and children who were
very much pleased with it's presenta-
ton.
Just before the last act Mr.. F'rawIey
made a short speech, in which he con-
fessed that a mistake had been made
in putting on dramas such as the first
two plays undertaken. He was con-
vinced that the theater-going people of
Honolulu desired comedy, and said that
in the future it would be his aim to
put on such plays as would please his
audiences and make them feel like
coming again.
Speaking of the matinee purform
ance, he said that Moths" had been
picked out for young ladies, such as
he had been used to see at the matt
nees in California. He was surprised
to see so many children before him.
In the future it would be his aim TO
put on matinee performances to please
both the children and the young ladies.

chine Shop Scene.

The Frawley Company has presented
The Wife, 1.-THE Two Escutcheons, 4"
| Moths" and 1.-The Lost Paradise" a
drama in three acts by Henry c.. De
Mile, the last of which was played
before a large audience on Saturday
night. An audience which pronounced
that play the best of the four, and with
good reason, too. The melodrama in
itself seemed to be more suited to the
demands of the pleasure-loving public,
and again the members of the cast
showed to better advantage than in
any one of the three previous perform
ances.
The plot of ''The Lost Paradise al
though one of no great depth, is never
theless one that is brought home with
great force to the hearts of all classes
simply from it's commonpIaceness, in
which its strength may be said to lie.
Andrew Knowlton, the owner of the
great iron mills in New England and
the alleged inventor a great motor,
spends vast sums of money to please
his daughter, an only child. The man
ager of his mills has demonstrated,
but to no purpose. An engagement for
marriage of convenience is arranged
with Ralph Standish, "the last of a
noble line" By various entries in the
diary of the father of Ralph Standish,
the discovery is made that the real in
ventor is a young man named Reuben
Warner, the foreman of the works, who
loves KnowIton's daughter and who
suffers the wrongs of the father be-
cause of the love for the daughter
A strike is declared by the employees
of the iron works because of refusal
to increase their wages, Warner joins
the ranks of the strikers, and demands
justice for his comrades at the hands
of their previous employers. Knowl
ton and Standish make many unsuc-
cessful attempts to get new men. The
daughter visits the sick and destitute
among the families of the workmen,
and the respect for the foreman ripens
into love. Her engagement with Stan
dish is broken and she marries War
ner, the foreman.
Miss Blanche L. Bates in the charac-
ter of Margaret KnowIton, was at her
best, and surpassed all of her previous
efforts on the Honolulu stage. Her
acting was full of force, and the
changes from the sunshine of happi-
ness to the darkness of sorrow and
even despair were done remarkably
well. She was plainly mistress of her
part-a part by no means easy to act.
Perhaps one of her best pieces of work
during the play was where she repulsed
Standish with the words: 81 hate you"
words that were filled with venom
most deadly.
The same thing may be said of Mr..
T. Daniel Frawley. Plainly he was bet
ter in the part Of Reuben Warner
than any he has yet essayed in Homo
lulu. AS the workman he made every
one feel with him what toll meant.
AS the Superintendent of the KnowI-
ton Works he called forth sympathy
for the hard working class over whom
he was appointed to stand. His appeals
for the half-starved men and women
in the factory were strong.
