TOM LOWELL AND HARRY
HYNES Up IN FARCE

There was crowded house at the
Orpheum last night for Dick Buhler s
benefit and they saw rafting good
show. Why Smith Left Home = is a
typical Broadhurst comedy and the
lines sparkle with true American wit
and ''Tu quoques.
Plot there is none, but funny stu
ations and comieal lines abound and
the audience was kept in a roar from
first to last. The feature of the show
was the acting of Tom Lowell and
Harry Hynes
Tom Lowell played the part of Gen,
eral Billetdoux, an old French soldier
who is very fond of the ladies and has
wife who knows his failing. Tom s
makeup and enunciation were both
superb. 1t was several minutes before
one could realize that it was really
Tom Lowell. His lisping French accent
was perfect and his Latin gestures
equalled only by the real thing when
seasick passengers land on the long
wharf at Dover.
Harry Hynes was Lavinia DAILY, the
high chief of the Lady Cooks Self Pro-
tective Association. Goodl He was
great. He carried an Irish accent that
you could cut with knife and the way
he rang the changes from a typical
Biddy termagant in front of his mis-
tress, to the simpering old slavey
when Tom Lowell chucked him under
the chin, was not only laughable, but
admirable.
Virginia Thornton played the French
maid with very touching disposition
and was very much out of her element.
Miss Thornton is a great emotional
actress and has no right to play parts
like that even to help out a benefit. 1t
was vandalism pure and simple, to see
the graceful figure of our dainty Zaza
and our poor dying Camille, founcing
round the stage in the costume and
with the manners of chic soubrette.
Dick Buhier had part that suited
him. He did not have to be very
funny, not very emotional, just merely
be himself and fill the stage with his
presence and he did this to
perfection.
Tonight we shall have chance to
see "Zaza' again in the benefit given
for the whole company and it is a
chance not to be missed for we can
not tell how long it will be before we
read of Virginia Thornton taking the
Great White Way by storm in some
emotional part.
In addition to "Zaza" there viii
be interludes of vaudeville by members
Of the company and many local anna
tours who have volunteered their
services for this occasion. The two |
Macs will do their clog dancing as they |
have been doing between acts and the
quaint old shuffles and movements are
we'll worth seeing. These two lads
dance together in the most perfect time
and there is a SAVIOR of old times and
the old country about their work that
has a very clipging charm.

John SYLVIA WRITES
GENTLEMANLY LETTER

John f. Sylvia, manager of the Re-
lance team in the Kapiolani League,
writes very gentlemanly and sports
manlike letter to the Advertiser. He
Estates that the combination team that
met the Ewas on Sunday had no Re.
lance players and also explains that
he and not Mr.. Joseph is the manager
of the Reliance team. This being the
case players will please take notice
that the meeting tomorrow night will
be held at Mr.. Sylva's residence.
The following is Mr.. Sylvia s letter:
editor Advertiser: Allow me to cor
rect an error which was published in
yesterdays paper, in regard to Eva 3
Sunday game with combination team
of Reliance, Twilights and Wiehmans.
The signed lineup of the Reliance team
is as per enclosed list and you will find
that none of these players were in the
Eva game.
son investigation we find that Frei-
tas, the Twilight shortstop, wore a Re-
lance uniform, but that does not mean
that any Reliance men were in the
game I wish you would also correct
another error which appeared stating
that Mr.. Joseph was the manager of
the team and that the meeting would
be at his house. This was due, no
doubt, to a misunderstanding over the
telephone.
GAS vice president and treasurer of
the Kapiolani League I also wish to
thank the Advertiser for the help which
it has given us in publishing our games
through the series,o Respectfully yours,
ssJOHN F. SYLVIA
The Advertiser takes pleasure in pub
fishing Mr.. sylvia Is letter and thanks
him for his kind appreciation. This
paper is only too glad to do all it can
to help along sport and sportsmen and
only regrets that it does not hear more
from men of Mr.. Sylvia s ealiber.

AUTOMOBILE CLUB
REDIVIVUS. EUVE!

There is a sound in the air as of the
cranking Of many machines. The Auto
mobile Club of Hawaii is yawning and
stretching. The alarm clock has gone
off and this very useful, if somewhat
somnolent, organization is about to
wake up and do things.
Next Friday evening at 1880 there
will be meeting in the rooms OF the
Hawaii Promotion committee and every
autoist in town is requested to attend
whether he belong to the club or not.
The main object of the meeting is to
get on to the subject of good roads and
there is no other subject that is more
worthy the close attention of every
wheelman in the Territory.
There will be some preliminarles,
election of officers for the ensuing year
and few things like that and then
they will get busy about roads.
S. r. Jordan, the present secretary of
the club, states that there is going to
be something done. A movement is to
be started and the roads on Oahu are
going to be made what they should be,
the finest in the world, if concerted eff
fort on the part of local autoists can
do it.
1t has been proposed, and the matter
will be brought up, to hire a bicycle
patrol to inspect the roads and remove
old horseshoes, broken glass and other
that are SO fatal to tires;
as well as to report on the bad places
on the roads.
In addition to the good roads move>
ment the question of big doings on
Day viii be brought up.
1t is proposed to hold an automobile
gymkhana and race meet at Kapiolani
park on that day and it is thought
that the affair can be made a great
success if people will come through
and help out.
Yes, the alarm clock has buzzed and
the club is waking up. More power to
it and the good work it can do if it
will stay working and its members will
carry round with them large supply
Of spare ''Boost'' tires.

must beat the Cupids again.
The first game viii be played on the
kapiolani grounds next Sunday. IL
Prince Kuhio IS men are victorious they
will be the undisputed champions. If,
however, the letter carriers win, the
two teams will play once again and the
winners of that game will have the
pleasure of filing the cup.

1t viii be noticed that these fgnrss
add up to PIP.
No official could be found on the tele.
phone and, after discussion with the
gentlemen named it was decided to con
strue the score as being correct bu.
incorrectly added up. For this reason
Mr.. Brown s name was left out of the
sixteen qualifers and j. G. Wilder s
added.
Yesterday Mr.. McInerny looked the
matter up and stated that the third
score should have read AZ instead of
d so that Mr.. Browns total is only
202 and he qualities in fifteenth place
Mr.. Wilder, on this account, has not
qualified, J. D. MeTnerny being the last
man on the list with 203.

The Deep Breathina Cure.

A boy who was consumptive and was rapidly going along the road to the grave was taken in hand by one who understood deep breathing and the importance of proper mastication of food, etc. He was made to under stand precisely why deep breathing was of such vital importance, and he took lively interest in his own cure He was fourteen years old. In very few weeks the change was remark able. He began to get firm flesh on his poor little limbs, his chest developed well and healthy color came into his cheeks. His eyes, which were al- ways covered with sites, became per fectly free from them. and in three months or less there was no sign of consumption in him. may say he was only treated once week for half an hour.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The game was one of the most interest ing played here this season and in the second half the Thomaston boys made big effort to turn defeat into victory, but the closest they could come to 1t was to score for points. In the second half Thomaston got the ball on the local teams twenty-five yard line. and Beardsley, the quar- terback, made a drop kick. The ball went squarely over the goal posts and It was one of the best kicks ever made here. The little quarterback received much praise for his work.
