'zAZA" BRINGS OUT
SOME SPLENDID ACTING.
'ZAZZAA'

In the opinion of those who saw
"zazs" at the Orpheum last night, it
would be difficult to overpraise the
acting of Miss Virginia Thornton, in
the title role. She showed ability as
an emotional actress which should
carry her far in her profession, and
deserved more applause and curtain
calling than she got. 1t is no easy
part,-the play of five acts is almost
all Zaza,-and the actress who can so
portray it as did Miss Thornton last
night has won her way into the COM
pany of the great artists. The play
is almost one part play and with
the leading role in poor hands it
would be farce. AS produced last
night it is profoundly impressive. The
same stage has probably never seen
finer acting, stronger personal vigor
and intensity in representing deep
human emotion than in the character
of "Zaza" last night Though the
plot, and the situations, may be open

PINS IN
FLESH FOR FUN
SEATTLE YOUTH INSENSIBLE TO
THE PAIN Is TAKEN FOR LEPER
SUFFERER.

SEATTLE (Wash), August IL
When a physician from the Health
Department went to South Seattle to-
day to examine Harold Springer, 1G
years old, for symptoms of leprosy, he
found that youngster in the midst of a
group of boys and girls industriously
sticking pins into his face. The 9TH
ers we're gazing at him with admiring
awe and Springer was smiling and APP
parently enjoying himself as much as
anyone. The boy has been making a
practice of entertaining his friends by
thrusting pins and darning needles
through his cheeks and into his body,
apparently without the slightest pain.
A woman who learned of his pc
culiar faculty and who had been read
ing an account of the MOlokai leper
settlement, Immediately jumped to the
conclusion that he was a leper and
telephoned the authorities. An exam
nation developed that he was per-
fectly healthy. He apparently had an
abnormal insensibility to pain, which
probably has been accentuated by
practice. The lad possesses a COM
mercial spirit and always insists on
getting a fair sized fee in the shape
of stray pennies and nickels from
those who watch him perform.

to criticisms and are displeasing to
some, the acting is such as to justify
the statement that if Honolulu does
not well support it, local taste or ap-
petite for rhe drama is lacking.
The whole cast is very good. Richard
Butler, in the character of Bernard
Dufresne," carries himself splendidly
and Miss Harriet Jocelyn is very clever
as Rosa Bonnie" Little Miss Ida
Hingley does child part very finely.
A company which can produce
"Zaza" as did the Lumley company did
last night certainly deserves a place
among the best theatrical companies
that Honolulu has ever seen. 1t de-
serves the strongest support, and a
performance like that of last night en-
titles the leading actress to a far
stronger show of appreciation than a
not very large audience was able to
manifest last night.
Zaza will be given again tonight and
at tomorrow matinee and evening per-
Torrance.

AS a result of his five years OF work
on the subject. DR.. Chalfant is shortly TO

Dr. Chalfant says that the effect OF such

crease in the number of cases known now
as measles, chicken pox. etc. The ply

Picking Buttercups-An Exceeding

to the New Theory.

break of cancer and similar diseases In
that period of the year when the butter
cups were in their full glory.
From the data thus gained. fortified as
1t is with his own experiments and obser-
vations DR.. Chalfant has felt warranted
in pronouncng the buttercup as a con-
tinuous menace to public health. and he
intends to solicit the United States gov
eminent to make a campaign against 1t.
There is nothing vague about the at
tack of Dr. Chalfant on the .buttercup.
He claims to have discovered and proved
the existence in the buttercup of the
poisons that do the business.
Tracing Many Troubles.
These active poisons, he says. are ramu-
cuyln, anemonim and anemOnimic acid,
volatile acid substances, which produce
inflammation at contact and when taken
internally. may cause Inflammation Of
the stomach and commissions, and in ex-
treme cases death itself.
To the results of handling buttercups
DIR. Chalfant traces many of the essen
TALLY juvenile troubles. unexplained few
erish conditions which are so frequently
treated as measles and chicken pox.
But It is not alone by handling butter
cups that the dread danger Is sent on
its way.
The partially of the cattle for brows-
ing in the fields is a still more serious
form of spreading the disease. The poison
may be transferred in meat, especially
mutton, and in milk and butter. Often the
vegetables become infected by contact in
the fields with the little yellow flower,
and the result is the spreading OF ills
whose origin is a mystery.
The familiar and to some persons dis
agreeable smell of mutton. DR.. Chalfant
says, is distinctly cancerous. This same
odor can be readily detected in any kind
of meat that has been infected with can
Ger.
Having convinced himself that he was
