SCENIC TEMPLE

This weeks highly pleasing and we'll
diversified bill at the Scenic Temple is
headed by Flatow and Dunn, who are well
remembered by local vaudeville patrons,
In an exceedingly bright and lively sing
ing dancing and acrobatic comedy sketch.
entitled "Pastimes on the Levee," which
scored strongly with yesterdays audi
ences: and the notable coolness of the
auditorium as compared with the temper
ature out OF doors helped TO make the
whole show the more enjoyable.
George w. Grahams new illustrated
songs won him the usual hearty encores:
and c. j. Brownell the famous reptile
hunter, proved one OF the strong features
of the bill. His narrative OF his thrilling
experiences in the Texas wilds is as val
liable from an educational standpoint as
Il is intensely interesting. and presents
many facts never dreamed OF by those not
familiar with his calling stalk Is ac-
companied by moving pictures showing
some OF his most exciting adventures on
the hunt described: and his act is one
that none can afford to miss.
Sachs and Wright OFFER a sidewalk con-
versation act that gets n lot OF laughs
and in this respect the new moving pic
lures are particularly pleasing. Among
those best liked by yesterdays audiences
were How to Cure a Cold" THE Strug-
gle for Life" "Dr Jenkins Washes Up"
Fighting the Flames" wonderfully
realistic picture. and "The Lucky Neck
lace" which appeals very strongly to low
ers OF dogs and children The usual
change OF pictures and songs will be pre-
sented on Thursday for the latter half of
the week.

EMPIRE THEATRE

For the first time in several weeks the
Empire Theatre had a full house last
evening. many being compelled TO stand.
The attraction is Monte Cristo," by
Alexander Dumas. and its presentation by
the Empire summer stock company was
very meritorious.
The play is a difficult one for a stock
company, but the performance last eve-
ming was r. creditable one. There was
concentration OF effort on the part Of
every character. The production was well
staged. with proper scenery and costumes.
The role OF Edmond Dantes is assumed
by Rogers Barker. who brings out the
true character. Miss Purnell is success
full in the role of Mercedes. David Wal
hers. as Nortier, shows new capabilities
and good versatility. James Kennedy
appears as Caderous and is seen to excel
lent advantage. All the other characters
do very good.
The company Will probably score the
hit of the season next week in ION the
Suwanee River" on Friday OF next week
the management of the house will tender
a testimonial benefit 10 Sol Braunig. busi-
ness manager OF the house. and Sam
Kaufman. the treasurer. These two gen.
tlemen, who have so courteously served
the patrons of the theatre will doubtless
be we'll remembered by large audiences
at both the afternoon and evening per-
formances.

WHY ARE NATIVES
REFUSED LAND?

Editor Advertiser: / would like to
know why it is that rich plantations
are trying to do the poor Hawaiian
up. Sometime ago there was settle
ment association called the "Thomp-
son Settlement Association started
here in Kau to get some lands to live
on and cultivate, and John Kekuna,
Hawaiian and friend of mine, is
one applying for a homestead. He and
the other members of the association,
not being able to get what they want
from. the Government, have started suit
in the courts to get their rights. With
in the last two weeks John Kekuna
has been ordered twice to the Hutch
inson Sugar Plantation Co. IS Office by
plantation employees, only to be told
that he must resign from the settle
ment association in applying for land,
as the plantation wants to get the APP
plicants reduced to such small num-
Der that the proposition would fall
through. Now, Mr.. Editor, l want to
know why it is that they order this
Hawaiian to get out and don't order
the haoles out also. Is it because the
haoles got more money, or they are
afraid the haoles wouldn It do so? Why
hash t the Hawaiian as good or better
right to get homestead in the land
of his birth, even if it is the richest
cane land in Hawaii, than some rich
foreign corporation9 And why does
not the Government protect him in his
rightsf Molokans, Portuguese and
other people have got cane lands for
homesteads in other parts of Hawaii,
but why is it Hawaiian in Kau can
not get cane land to plant in his own
district, when there are thousands of
acres available, and not under lease9
Is this fair playi / want to know.
