Origin of nroCullum,s Theatre.

Away back in the year of 800, LleI
Erickson, the old Morse Viking, left his
mother and home cooking on the COAST
of Norway, and in company with jolly
lot of wassailers, started on hunting
trip to Iceland. In due time they reached
Ufernavik, where in the company OF OLD
friends, they found such good SPORT
chasing the toothsome possum with
hounds that frequently barked up the
wrong ice, that Lief concluded to con-
tinue the sport, and SO invited MS
friends to accompany him on yachting
trip to chase the fippant whale. For
weeks they sailed southwest, meetlng
with no success until they arrived in
sight of that part of America known. as
the coast of Maine. just off the island
that has ever since been called Peaks
island, the lookout sighted a large juicy
whale and shouted peak peak which
means in that old-time slang, see see
and ever since this strip of land has been
known as Peaks island The whale saw
the ship, winked his fin and dived into
Portland harbor, but was finally caught,
hauled up on shore and boiled into oil,
right on the spot where BARLEY McCul-
lum's theatre now stands. Now BARLEY
was member of this jolly gang of row.
ers. That was his first time on earth,
but even then he recognized the beauties
of Peaks island. He didn't build thea
tire then, because the inhabitants of Port
land, at that time, couldn't tell dra-
matic situation from lobster pot, and
the regulation summer costume OF a
Portland dude at that date consisted OF
few daubs of paint and string of beads.
Mr.. McCullum, however, never forgot
| the spot, and as soon as he arrived on
earth for the second time, he at once
began to scheme for theatre there.
For years he worked preparing himself
for the task. Then he secured the thea
tire and behold the result. For the last
ten years he has had what is generally
conceded to be the best summer STOCK
company in America, and he is playing
that great American drama "The New
South every afternoon and evening this
week to the capacity of the house.

A Suggestion to tho H. 0. O.

An unselish action by Marlow, in
the Essex and Sussex match, deserves
more than passing notice. He was
at the wickets with Prince Rapjit-
sinhji, and the latter started for a
short run, and went so far down the
ground that it was impossible for
him to return in time. NARROW had
not started, but, seeing that wick
ct must be lost, he ran out, aud, pass.
ing the Prince, sacrificed his own.
1t is pleasant to be able to call atten-
ton to this act OF generosity, be-
cause there is tendency on the part
Of individual players to think OF
their averages first, and of the inter
ests OF their side afterwards. The
match between Essex and Sussex
was not brought to definite termi-
nation, but in other circumstances
Marlow's action in throwing away
his wicket for the preservation OF a
more valuable one, might have
brought victory to his side, and, in
any case it is worthy of commends-
ton as an example OF sportsman
like conduct.-Standard.

CHARMING KATIE PUTNAM.
She Scores Great Success at tho
Opera House.

The presentation of the Old Lime
Kiln at the Opera House last Satur-
day evening was an absolute success
and Miss Katie Putnam and her
supporters are highly complimented
on tho clever manner in which they
produced this sensational comedy.
a large audience enjoyed the play
aud yarely has Opera House been
filed with louder and more uproari-
Gus applause than on Saturday.
The Old Lime Kiln" is exactly
what suits a Honolulu public, and,
like Oliver Twist, they ask for
"more."
The play is a fine combine ton Of
the blood-and thunder style and the
gay twists OF muslins, laces and
ankles, 1t is a clever combination,
however, aud the company handled
the different parts in such natural
manner that all the young "bloods"
in the audience wept tears, when
they saw live U. S. officer being
split into burning limekiln (having
taken off his uniform prior) and
then being rescued in shirt sleeves
and suspenders by young girl,
with hammer; while ali the old
baldheads grinned happily, watch
ing Katie's steps and listening to
her Jolly ditties.
The Old Lime Kiln is an interest
ing play and the different charac-
ters were ably sustained.
Katie Putnam as Margery Morris
is the principal character and it
looks as if the part was written
specially for her. Robert Jefferson
as her lover, who does the limekiln
plunge, played with good taste and
avoided all unnecessary melodram-
attic business.
II, B. Emery, as Jack Ridley, was
the favorite with the audience, and
his cheerful humor called forth re-
peated applause.
j. Fl. Burns and Mollie Stock
meyer as the military" Irish couple
we're hailed with enthusiasm when
ever they appeared.
Miss Mackin who was to take the
part as Helen Norton, was taken
seriously sick on Saturday and for a
moment the management feared
that the play would have to be post
poned, Fortunately such a disap-
pointment was avoided by Mrs. Geo
Attersen being persuaded to take
the part which she in spite of only
a few moments notice, rendered in a
very pleasing and thorough artistic
manner
Miss Putnam can be assured oil
full houses as long as she gives US
some more cline. kilns" or similar
shot stuff"
