GOOD WISH FOR
BROWNSVILLE.

Col. Uriti Lott talks interesting
ly of Il railroad to Brownsville but
he is far from saying he is going to
blild one. Well, the National is
pretty sure of meandering down in
to that region about the time the
daisies bloom again and, while the
Times would be glad to see Browns
Vile get a road from both sides of
the river, if Col. Lott just won't
build a road, the National to Mata-
moros will give the inhabitants of
that sequestered region an oppor-
tunitj To breathe the air of the out
side world anyway. While the tour
around by Monterey is rather round
about, it beats tackling the stage
line from San Miguel to Hebron
Vile or Brownsville to Alice. Here's
sincere hoping that somebody will
build the road to Brownsville

SANFORD COMPANY
MAKES A HIT

The success which the Sanford conn
pany at the Orpheum met with last
night in its elaborate scenic .roduc-
ton of Sporting Life" has demon
strated that the season is going to be
a success. The players are at their best
in the strong scenes of Sporting Life, "
and nearly all are given opportunity to
display their powers. Laura Wall and
Miss EtheIle Earle showed fine eapa-
bilities, Miss Earle especially so in her
struggle for life. The scene in the prize
ring and it's stirring sequel were quite
realistic and the audience broke into
a storm of cheers at it's conclusion.
Walter Sanford has presented his
company during the past week in a
succession of strong plays, magnificent
~ produced as to scenery. The patrons
of the Orpheum have never before seen
such beautiful stage pictures on that
stage, as have been shown in the
weeks repertoire. The audiences have
been most enthusiastic and apprecia-
tive, and the demand for seats for the
balance of the engagement promises
full houses for this talented company.
The plays give evidence of the most
careful rehearsing, and the results are
consequently most successful. This
company has established itself thor
oughIy in the affection of Honolulu
theater-goers.
drama dealing with life in that great
city, will be the attraction for tomor-
row and Tuesday evening, November
% and "a. This play tells the story of
a blind waif. The daughter of rich
merchant in New York City marries
against her fathers will, and he dis
inherits her and casts her Off She and
her husband sink lower and lower in
the social scale, until finally the hus-
band dies, leaving her in abject pow
erty. Worn out with privation, the
wife soon follows, leaving her blind
child, Marie. The story Of the blind
girl, and the efforts of her cousin to
deprive her of the Inheritance left
her by her father, and the overthrow OF
his plans by the hero, Harry Burton,
is told in several exciting scenes. The
play contains many types of New York
life, among them being an Italian pad
rome and his wife, an Irish policeman,
and negro porter. The dramatic
scenes are intense, and the comedy up
roarious. William Desmond will APP
pear as the hero. Ethelle Earle will
present a strong Characterization of the
Italian wife of the padrone. Laura
Wall will be the heroine, Marie; Tom
my Shearer will convulse the audience
as Nimrod Keyes, the negro porter;
Bart. Wallace will play Conn, the po-
liceman, and Adelaide Smith, the pert
lunch counter girl.
