CHILLY BLASTS IN A PULLMAN

and we took out the screen in the
window that waG wing 100 much

heavens when we arose. We were
passing through villages and through
farms OF alfalfa, which corresponds
10 our hay and which gives from
three to four crops per year and thus
enriches the farmer.
This rolling prairie land was level
for miles and miles. The sameness
of II became monotonous and yet II
possessed a facination that caused us
to keep our eyes upon the undulatine
surfce save for the time we were en-
gagged in conversation with some OF

tunity of witnessing what last sea-
son proved the biggest musical hit OF
the entire year. Last season was a
notable one i'm the theatrical world

HOW WELII-KNOWN PLAY
RECEIVED IT'S NAME

At a recent meeting Of a promi-
nent theatrical managers club, held
at the Hotel Astor, New York, the
subject OF play titles was introduced
Various reasons were advanced by the
different managers as to why some
plays with odd Titles had become
so popular and the titles household
words. one of the managers turned
to Mr.. Scott, head OF the Harry Scott
company, and said: scott, where on
earth did you find that freak title
Mas New Husband?'"
Mr.. Scott leaned comfortably back
in his chair, lit a fresh cigar and
said: "a little child suggested that
title to me as follows: In the vicn-
ity of the hotel where | stopped lived
a pretty young widow and her little
boy. a precoclous youngster of five
years. He and | had picked up a
chance acquaintance in the street and
1t had ripened into warm friendship,
He would walk to the car with me
and / would buy him candy and soda
pop until we became quite chummy.
In tie course OF time the paper an
nounced the marriage of his mother.
Shortly after her return from her
honeymoon, she was walking with
tall distinguished man. When the
lad saw he, he cried to his compan-
ions: Look. there's mas new hus-
band Well. it struck me as being
funny, and the more l thought of it
the funnier II became.
/ had at this time a comedy by
David Edwin in my desk, which
had not produced for lack of an APP
propriate title. Suddenly the idea
struck me to call It Mas New Hus-
band I produced 1t and it has made
small fortune.
yes, we all know what it has
made" cried his listeners but what
did you do for the kid who suggest
ed the name?"
A quizzical smile appeared on Mr..
Scotts face for a moment, as he
quietly replied: THE kid is well ta-
ken care of, for was Mas New Hus-
band"

sidewalks saw it. On Thursday even
ing the 18th inst, he will appear at
the Hawaiian Opera House under the
management of w. D. Adams and will
show a number of interesting subjects
in the moving picture line. There
were several shown on the screen a
few weeks ago that were particularly
enjoyable and they will be shown
again but the interest will undoubted-
ly center in the film which shows the
Floral Parade that took place in Ho-
nolulu on the 22nd of February last.
Mr.. Bonine was fortunate in securing
nearly a thousand feet, a fifth Of a
mile, nearly, of the parade of local
people and the negatives turned out
unusually clear and distinct. All of
the motor cars are shown with clear
ness that will make the entertainment
particularly pleasing. A year or two
ago Mr.. BONNIE was commissioned by
the United States government to ac-
company a party of senators and Sec
rotary Taft to the Panama canal and
make pictures of the country and the
