Mr.. r. K. Bonine, San Francisco. Cal
Dear Sir: We are in receipt of let
ter from Mr.. Moore Of your company
! informing us that you are in San Fran
| cisco taking a series of photographs OF
that stricken city
\ We wrote to your main office at
! Orange, New Jersey, last March sug-
costing the iesira bility of your COM
pany sending down a good man to Ho-
! nolulu to take a series of views be-
| lieving that there is enough of interest
| here to warrant such an undertaking.
You could undoubtedly make arrange
ments for reduced rates either by the
Pacific Mail or the Oceanic Steamship
4, Companies.
Among the subjects that. in my opin-
ion, would work UP as attractive NOV
ing pictures would be
l. Pau riders that is a number of
women attractively dressed in the old
native riding costume. which presents
a very attractive appearance.
2 Surf riding. showing the daring
way in which our Hawaiian boys mount
their surf boards and come whirling
in to the shore over the waves.
3. A canoe race. The old fashion
Hawaiian canoe with it's out-rigger.
4. Native boys diving for coins.
5. Native dancers, also Japanese
geisha dancers.
6. japanese wrestling.
Z. Oriental steamers entering Homo
lulu harbor.
S. Departure of steamers for the
mainland. showing very pretty custom
of giving leis or wreaths to departing
friends and the manner in which they
are thrown overheard as the vessel
leaves.
g. Trip over the Pail by auto
10. Cutting and loading sugar cane.
II. Gathering pineapp1es.
Il. Arrival of Sunday afternoon
train showing a very large number of
Orientals dressed in their native cos
tunes
Is. Bathing at Waikiki.
IA. Chinese duck ranch.

Anu DeS1QeS THESE THERE are olllSI
suggestions that would come to you
with your knowledge of what would
constitute an effective and attractive
picture
We hope sincerely that you may find
t convenient to run down and thus
add a series of Hawaiian films to your
already large collection 1t is needless
o assure you that the Hawaii Promo

assist you in securing a series OF de-
ira BILE views.
Should you determine to come soon
would suggest your sending a cable
ira m, that we might know when to ex-
,ect YOU so as to have a committee Of
wo or three of our best photographers
eady to meet and consult with you up
n your arrival. Yours very truly,
H P WOOD,

The committee mentioned in the
bove is to be headed by Mr. Gartley,

ention the best scenes to be obtained
nd who will also arrange for a pau
arade. hula, and the other special n
,atures to be caught by the photog-
,pher.
1t is hoped by the Promotion Com
fttee that these films can be finished
nd put on the market in those towns :"
here the Hawaiian Band is to play,
lie interest aroused by one to help out
e other, while both will promote the
terest in Hawaii. It is thought that

Drk of marketing the pictures will be
intcd out to the Edison company.
