4 TRAINING SHIP
FOR THE TERRITORY

Editor Advertiser: In all the innu-
merable discussions about our mer-
chant marine, there has been no mem
ton made about the training of sea-
men to man the ships. Now. in these
islands we have quite a number of
small boys who are sent to the reform
school for truancy or other minor
charges I think it would be good
idea if these boys had some choice "a
the matter of the trade they would
wish to follow. AS the Hawaiians love
the sea, we ought to have a training
ship anchored in the harbor of Homo
lulu or Pearl Harbor, whichever would
be more suitable for the purpose. l
think it would be a great benefit to
our merchant navy and 1 believe the
Hawaiians would take kindly to it,
as it is a well-known fact that the
few natives who do follow the sea
make the, best of sailors. Yours, etc,

4 FAIRY LAND SAYS
MANAGER COOLEY

This is a fairyland to me, a veri-
table fairyland," said Manager Cooley,
of the ElIeford Company, now appear
ing at the .Orpheum, land I can't for
the life of me tell why this country
hasn't made the biggest kind of a hit
with the tourists. They flock into
Southern California because that coun-
try is doomed, but this has it beaten
all around"
Mr.. Cooley had just been killed a
tie had gd$e out of his voice. He had
been asked to give his impressions Of
the Honolulu audiences to which he
had played, but evidently preferred to
talk of his appreciation of the beauties
of the island. He is paying his first
visit here and is enthusiastic. If he
can manage it he will be back here
again next winter.
Il have always felt sentimental in
terest in the natives of these islands,
for a good many years at least" he
said, rubbing cold cream on his feat
ures, which shone redly with their
coating of grease paint. -It seems to

things differently, but I suppose be-
cause / am an actor that look for the
romantic side more. L have been want
ing to come here for a long while and
when our steamer was coming around
those rocky points of Koko Head and
Diamond Head and someone on the
boat began to sing Aloha o. it
brought a big lump into my throat.
And l have not been disappointed here
at all I enjoy playing to the natives
in the house, they respond so well.
Il haven't been here long enough
to be able to say very much about our
audiences. AS I say, 1 enjoy playing
to the Hawaiians, but it has seemed to
me that some of the white people are
inclined to be critical. Of course we
are strangers here and have to show
what we can do and have faith in
myself and my company. Cohen seems
to be satisfied with the receipts, which
is something"
Throughout the interview, which took
place in Mr. Cooley's dressing room,
the actor-manager was busy clearing
up for the weekend, stuff1ng wigs,
guns dress suits, whiskers and other
impedimenta in the property boxes, ex-
cusing himself on the plea that he was
due at a luau. According to himself he
proposes to overlook nothing while
here, having a. list of things to see that

BACHELORS HONEYMOON
AND LIGHTS OF GOTHAM

The Elleford Company's bill changes
again tomorrow night, when there is to
be presented the first farce comedy of
the engagement, "a Bachelors Honey
moon" This is as funny a comedy as
one could wish to see, all its humor
being refined and the laughter being
obtained without the use of clap-stick
methods. Each act grows better, the
result being that the audience leaves
the theater still smiling over the ludi-
crous situations and witty dialogue.
Following "a Bachelors Honeymoon"
another melodrama is to be played,
this time a thriller, entitled THE
Lights of Gotham" The play Is a.
story of New York life, Astounding in
great situations and laughable comedy.
Special scenic effects are to be used,
one act ending with fire in big
tenement house and a heroic rescue,
and another showing a train of cars in
full motion.
On Monday, December 18th, The
Light that Failed is to be played.
This is a dramatization of Kipling's
masterpiece and its presentation has
been looked forward to with much in
Serest by local people.
