AMID THE HEATHER.
Barrie's Famous Little Minister" at
The Opera House.

The Honolulu public at large will to-
night reap the benefit of lowered prices
at the opera house as first suggested by
a Star correspondent, although the fleet
has been longer on the way here from
Midway than was at first expected.
The Little Minister" Barrie's IA
nous Scotch play will be given both
this evening and tomorrow at the re-
duced rate of prices and despite THE
absence of the sailor boys, 1t is ex-
pected that Honolulu will welcome tine
innovation in "a practical manner by
filling the house.
The play is well worthy of stand
ing Room Only" sign. The writings
of Barrie are peculiarly fitted for the
modern stage with their rich vein of
romanticism, strong character draw
ing and dramatic effects. James Neill
should be an ideal Little Minister" in
everything but size and it is a curious
fact that none of the stars who have
essayed the role have included the de-
sid ratum of lessered inches in their
makup. Miss Chapman as "Babbie"
is certain to give c charming represen-
tation while Miss Andrews and John
Burton with the rest of the supporting
company have strong characterizations
to interpret.

That the right sort OF boy born in
obscurity and poverty need not re-
main there is abundantly proved by
the career Of viii Van Benthnysen,
the managing editor of the New York
World. He was one of those "Iowa
boys" whom the whole nation talks
about and delights to honor. Born
in Drakeville, Davis county, Iowa,
young Benthuysen got his education
in q printing Office, soon owned a
good county paper, went to working
on minor dailies, became managing
editor Of Joseph Medill's Chicago
Tribune, and later when Joseph Pulit-
ger OF the New York World was bid
ding for the best newspaper talent to
be had, was called to be managing
editor of the New York World.
There is an inspiration in such lives.
Other men are better because such
men have lived and fought the good
fght.-Harlan Republican.
