per!ence occurs 4:

One day. after a delightful high and
low jinks at the Bohemian Club, 1 was
sitting in the Green Room and having
a chat with Timothy Daniel Frawley.
the theatrical manager. 1t was about
four in the morning, and under the cir
cumstances, conversations at that hour
are apt to be quite lively. Suddenly
Mr.. Frawley said: Uncle George.
come with US to Honolulu"
L answered: Il should like to go,
but is is not possible"
Why" said he, you can go as my
guest, and it won't cost you anything"
"Oh, in that case, I can go as well
as not" I answered; and then we talk
ed of something else. The next day
met Mr.. Frawley, and knowing that
men often say things at o'clock in
the morning which they forget or re-
greet the day following, I said
Now. Mr.. FrawIey, if that PROPOSE
ton of yours is at all embarrassing,
don't think of it, for I have not set
my heart upon it seriously"
What are you talking about?" said
he.
About my going to Honolulu with
you"
Why" said he, 81 have told all my
company that you are going with US
and they are tickled to death"
THAT settles it, said I; and I went
r" Honolulu with the Frawley compa-
ny, and a glorious time we had from
start to finish. Miss Blanche Bates,
Miss Wrenn and Frank Worthing were
in the company and I was billed as
IAN understudy for a thinking part"
Miss Wrenn and I being of the same
age, with the figures reversed-eighteen
and eight-one-we We're much together.
The lovely little lady expressed a de-
sire for my photograph and inscribed
with an original poetical sentiment,
which she would take pride in show
ing to her friends. And this is what
happened one day while at the Sans
Souci Hotel. Waikiki. Mr.. George Ly-
curgus, the proprietor. gave me the
chair that Robert Louis Stevenson oc-
cupied while writing those delightful
South Sea stories, and while seated in
that chair on the veranda which over
locks the harbor and the Pacific ocean,
feeling the inspiration of the chain and
gem:

without a hitch, but was puzzled for
a word to rhyme with it. However. I

For when this you see
You'll remember me
No matter where you've went to-"
The little lady was so pleased with
picture and poetry that she showed
it to all her friends in Honolulu, and
the people wanted me to remain there
and receive the appointment of Poet
Laureate for the Islands, but remem-
bering the thousands who were wait
ing to welcome me at home, l declin-
ed the honor with profuse thanks.
One serious drawback to the enjoy
ment of a play in a Honolulu theatre
is that when one is overpowered by a
between-the-acts thirst he has to hire
a hack to take him where he can Quench
il and get back before the curtain
rises. For a three-act play the hack
hire is seventy-tive cents, which, with
the price of the thirst-quencher and
the theatre seat, makes the evening"
amusement quite expensive. However.
every one seems to enjoy it, especially
the hackmen, and as there were but
three performances a week, the outlay
appeared to be cheerfully submitted to,
and every one supremacy happy.
While in the Hawaiian Islands, I
visited the grave of Jules Tavernier,
the Bohemian club artist who died in
Honolulu several years ago. L placed
a wreath of native flowers on the
tombstone and also had photographs
taken of the grave. Tavenrnier was one
of the early members of the clun.
After an absence of five weeks, we
arrived in San Francisco again, all
well and without having a single jar
to mar the perfect enjoyment of the
most delightful party that ever sailed out
from that port. and I shall ever re-
member T. Daniel Frawley most CRATE
fully for his kindness in inviting me
to be one of his charming company.

Conspicuous among Mr.. Mansield's
interesting experiments were his pro-
auctions of George Bernard Shaw's
Whimsical and brilliant pieces, Arms

'Cyrano de Bergerac"
1t was inevitable that the Joint brain
product of those two brilliant but &C.
centric men, Bernard Shaw and Richard
Mansfield, should be the most original
and eccentric of dramas, and certainly
they were all of that. 1t was quite i'm
possible TO judge either production by
the conventional canons of the theater
for they openly and shamelessly fouted
them all, yet Messrs. Mansfield and
Shaw achieved a triumph.
AS a manager Mr. Mansfield has been
both ambitious, original and effective.
If he is less popular in that capacity
than Sir Henry Irving was, it is only
because he is less adroit as n courtier.
