Thro' the Rye" toured the United
States last season and 1t made good
record OF success and attendance ev-
erywhere which has never been

is described as one OF those vast pro-
auctions which is not only characters

pany, but which is given with re-
markable display of scenery and cos
tunes and electrical effects which
distinguish the elaborate productions
which are prepared for the big
Broadway theaters in New York.
Coming Thro' the Rye" was written
by George n. Hobart, a distinguished
humorist and the music was COM
posed by A. Baldwin Sloane, who
has more success of this sort to his
credit than any writer of musical
comedy scores who has come forward
in this country in many years. The
comedy element of this piece is said
to keep an audience screaming with
laughts from beginning to finish, ex-
cept when relief is afforded by some
unusually striking and effective mu-
steal number. If this production is
greeted in this city as 1t has been
elsewhere 1t will be witnessed by as
many people as can get within the
four walls of the theater. An extra
ordinary company and production in
every detail will be seen here and

Henry Miller win ptesent .sThe
Great Divide" the long awaited
great American play. at the Grand
opera house January 81 The COM
ing OF the famous drama. which was
the attraction az the Princess and Da-
ly theaters IN New York nearly 500
nights. has for some time been held
by our play lovers as a bright spot III
the indefinite theatrical future. and
positive announcement OF the date Of
the engagement win be greeted with
pleasure. '+rhe Great Divide" has
added much to the celebrity Of Its
leading players and brought from
dramatic obscufity into permanent
renown an author who win have to
be reckoned> with from now on In the
American drama.
VIM. Vaughn Moody has already
become established as this country's
leading younger poet and through his
occupancy Of the chair Of English in
the University of Chicago ana his
works relative TO the language has
become an authority upon English
literature. But until Mr.. Miller pro-
duced the Great Divide, even Mr..
Moody's best friends never suspected
that he could write a play which
would be not only the most successful
of its time from pecuniary stand
point, but which would also be de-
clared by leading critics to "set a
new mark in American drama" New
York's verdict has. been that, orig
inal, dominance and fascinating as
Mr.. Moody's play is, the author is UNI
der an overwhelming debt to Mr..
Miller for the superb way in which
he developed its artistic possibilities.
THE Great Divide" could easily have
been ruined by less sympathetic pre-
sentation. Thee play is in three acts,
the first two being represented no
taking place in Arizona and the third
In Massachusetts. In a way the
drama is conflict between the spirit
of the East and the spirit of the West.
An eastern woman weighed down by
generations Of tradition and conven-
tionalities, is strangely wooded and
more strangely won by western man
unfettered by custom and ignorant of
restraint Of mind or action. The
meeting of these opposite natures
provokes storm and stress and raises
problems. One must see the play to
understand adequately the storms
that are weathered and the problems
solved.

TWO APPOINTMENTS
IN THE PUBLIC WORKS

The Superintendent of Public Works
has appointed Captain Edwin III. Par
ker as pilot of Kahului harbor in place
of Captain Donald F. Nicholson, re-
signed. Captain Nicholson some time
ago sustained a severe injury to one
of his eyes, while in the performance
of his duties. He is now in the
Queens Hospital, and, as some months
are required for a course of treatment,
it becomes necessary to give up the
office of pilot which needs constant
attendance. Captain Parker is well
known in the Inter-Island service his
latest command having been the Clau-
dine. The Kahului pilot receives $3.50
a month.
Superintendent Campbell has also
appointed j. w. Sproat as superin-
tendent of Kamuela water works,
Waimea, Hawaii, in place of Joshua
D. Koki, removed. The job carries S.

To THE WATERFRONT

Plans for the Alakea street wharf
shed will be ready for advertising the
first day of May. In the Department
Of Public Works are drawings of the
building which include suggestions for
fine architectural front on the town
side.
AS a whole the structure will be $50
feet long by 100 feet wide. 1t will be
partly two stories, the facade showing
like three floors. There will be main
building through the middle lengthwise
sixty feet wide, and galleries outside
of that twenty feet wide for passen-
gers to and from the upper decks OF
large steamers.
In the town front a large fiat-topped
archway is designed in the middle for
the passage of vehicles. At either side
of the frontage is a smaller round
topped archway for pedestrians, and
midway between the side and middle
arches doors are placed. The summit
of the facade is sixty feet high and it's
width 105 feet. An ornate scheme Of
finishing is shown in the sketch plan
and the whole effect architecturally is
symmetrical and pleasing. 1t viii be
