THE COLLEGE WIDOW
MAKES HIT At ORPHEUM

George AIDES clever comedy, "The
College Widow" was given again last
night at the Orpheum to a good house,
notwithstanding the counter out-of- door
attractions. The Lumley Company has
the material to cast the characters well,
and there is a dash and a swing about
the play that was thoroughly in har-
mony with the spirit of the town last
evening. No one who enjoys good com
edy, or who wants to see one of the
clever dramas of the current epoch,
should fail to see fThe College
Widow either this afternoon at the
matinee or tonight. These viii be the
last performances of this piece.
Thursday night Olga Nethersole's
version of " Carmen will be presented
by Richard Butler and the Lumley
Company.
Last night was Madame Arral IS last
appearance in Honolulu. She was in
fine voice and her singing was much
appreciated.
The Orpheum is giving a fine series
of plays in a splendid way. The com
pany is competent, and the scenery and
staging of the plays is better than any
thing ever before attempted in this
town.

wind. The round was all Phil Is.
In the second the sailor got home

Patton got in good right clip on the
side of the face. Schlossberg stagger-
ed his man with a right hook to the
point. Patton was pulled. The round
ended with the sailor trying to admin
lister the knockout ration.
In the fourth Patton was knocked
down with a left hook to the jaw and
got up wobbly.
The sailor kept playing for the wind
and suddenly sent straight left to the
jaw which stretched Patton on his
back. He tried to get up on the count
of ten, but collapsed and fell over
again.
The last number on the card was a
wrestling contest between Charlesworth
of the Georgia and Sailor Roberts.
The Georgia man showed excellent
defensive work and had Roberts puz-
zled to know what to do with him
when he had him down on the mat.
He didn t know what to do with him,
that was all the trouble.
The minutes wore on, with the men
on the mat most of the time, and
Charlesworth under. Now and then
they would get up and try for new
holds, but neither gained any advan-
tage, both having close shaves of being
pinned. Roberts simply couldn't turn
his man on his back.
Charlesworth tried the wheelbarrow
hold, but Roberts managed to extricate
himself from difficult situation.
Roberts then tried to pick the sailor
Up and dump him on the floor, but
1harlesworth was not worried bit by
.hese tactics. He then tried the stran-
ylehold, but this made no impression on
,he iron Charlesworth.
Finally he laid on him with all his
weight, placing his hip over the kidneys
md by so doing sought to wear his
nan out.
They got up and stalled about for ten
minutes which were devoid of action.
Then they went to the floor again with
Jharlesworth the under dog.
When the contest had gone AZ min
ties and So seconds Roberts gave up

nat by his admiring shipmates.
