when Artist Porter lays aside his
| brushes at the Opera House next
| week." said Bob Scott to an Advertiser
reporter last night, sit is not proba-
| Bile that he will ever take them up
again in Honolulu. He has crossed
the meridian of life and is approaching
| the scar and yellow after so years
| service on the paint bridge.
Il met him first" continued Mr..
| Scott, 80 odd years ago when he was
painting the scenery for Pixies Opera
House, which was afterwards destroyed
by fire. So far as the character of
his work is concerned old Bill Porter
is as capable today as when L first saw
him, and in spite of his years he works
quite as rapidly and as long hours.
Just think of it! He goes on the bridge
at o'clock in the morning and works
until at night. Hard work, if you
only knew it; but the old man sticks
at it, despite his govt and rheumatism.
I've seen him painting within the
past few weeks when his hands We're
| so swollen that he could scarcely hold
| a brush, and his feet in about the same
condition. 1 remember him, too when
| he was engaged at the old California
| Theater. Those were the palmy days"
said the comedian, in a reminiscent
way, when money was not as lard
| to get as now, and there were fewer
| alleged artists. Managers paid good
salaries, because an artist of Mr.. Port
er's ability was a rarity; it was about
| as it is in Honolulu-a good man for
| the work is hard to get. When John
Mccullough was manager of the Cali
| fornia and producing different plays
every week or two, Mr.. Porter painted
| the scenery. A snow scene one week
would be changed into a tropical scene
| the next, and sometimes / have known
| Porter to be so crowded with work
| that the scene for the last act would
not be finished until the curtain mad
gone up on the play. These scenes
| were hurriedly painted, and there was
not one in the theater that showed
| the care or attention to detail so no
ticeable in the sets painted at the Ea-
waiian Opera House. Porter will leave
| behind him in Honolulu work which
| should always keep his memory green
to the people who visit the theater.
Unfortunately, the class of plays
produced by the Frawley Company was
not such as would give the people an
idea of the scope of Mr.. Porter's work
they were of the society order, and a
handsome bed room or drawing room
scene was all that was needed. His
landscapes and street scenes are mar
wells in the way of stage pictures, and
it is doubtful if their equal will be
found in the large theaters in the
United States. Mr.. Irwin told him tC
paint what was needed to stage any
play to be produced here, and he has
done it to the satisfaction of his EN-.
ployer and the public.
1T occurs to me-" continued Mr.
Scott, that it would be a graceful
thing if the public would tender Mr.

Mr.. Scott claims to be the pioneer Of
the style of picturesque reporting in
connection with the drama, by which it
is presumed he means the treatment of
a dramatic representation and of the
merits of play from the point Of view
of living, human interest. and the dis
carding Of the old-fashioned didactic
style of criticism which was often more
pragmatic than able. The picturesque
reporter of today has gone far byond
Mr.. Scott, and the side lights which gave
illumination to his treatment Of the
drama, are now, through the efforts of
the sensational portion Of the press con-
