ADJUSTMENTS

The good old Orpheum has resounded
to the plaudits of many large audiences
but never before was there such
really crammed house as that which
greeted the first appearance of the
GRO Vaudeville Company in Honolulu,
last night.
Neither was anybody disappointed.
The show is really good and 1t is the
kind of show thar, judging by the re-
cent trend of things III tue theatrical
line, will take big hold on the Homo
lulu public.
The program last night consisted of
a series OF excellent moving pictures
interspersed with vaudeville acts OF
the best and brightest and final
funny sketch in which were introduced
some clever dancing, some pretty sing
ing, and some very laughaDle comedy.
The hit of the evening was Miss Al
lert Moriser. This pretty little lacy
made terrible hit and took the Be-
hemian spirit of the orchestra stalls
and boxes in such good part that all
the rest of the crowded house insisted
that she come out again and Nagain and
yet again. The makai stage box was
j
nesse doree who heaved bouquets on the
stage at every opportunity and would
have bothered performer with less
elan than this Miss Moriser. The man
ner in which she carried off -her first
trying appearance under difficulties
was admirable.
Charlie Orc as an Irishman with
some avoirdupois and sense of humor
was good. Frank Earl S comedy work
was. very entertaining, especially in
descriptive sand dance and Vina
Mcneil, the soubrette, made great
hit in the sketch as an Indian squaw
who can sing and dance.
The program viii be changed two or
three times a week and the company
has repertoire of songs, dances and
sketches that will keep them going for
a long time to come. The Orpheum
show is good.

The Actophone.

Don't miss seeing the actophone at
the Gem Theater, commencing Thurs
day, July 20. The actophone, Europe s
--latest and greatest sensation, and right
~ styled the seventh wonder of the
world, will appear at the Gem. 1t is
the most ingenious mechanical device
ever invented for the presentation of
living, speaking, musical motion pic
lures. The machine is wonderful, as it
exhibits speaking and musical photo
graphs in the most lifelike manner.
This is an opportunity for the people of
Honolulu to see one of the most wonder
full inventions emanating from the
brains of America S and Europe's fore
most scientists

an extent that it was unable to ex.
tricate itself. Owing to the shallow.
ness of the river the young men were
unable to get close to the horse, but
procured long sticks and endeavored
to chase the animal ashore.
Goaded on in this manner the horse
became overbalanced and fell to it's
mire. 1t at once scrambled to it's feet
and swan to the middle of the river.
1t made no attempt to climb the bank,
but appeared to prefer the middle of
the stream. There are numberless
places in this part of the river where
the animal could have reached the
shore had 1t so wished.
For a mile or more the horse was
followed down the stream, walking a
part of the time, where the water was
shallow, and swimming the balance Of
the time. Finally the young men be.
came tired of their task and gave up
They passed the horse and returned
to the city
Mr.. Clark, who has known the
horse for several years stated that it
had become very thin and weak, and
when they left the animal it was
frothing at the nose. From this it is
taken that the horse is almost ex-
hausted from it's long spell in the wa.
ter. If it eats at all it is from the
trees along the banks of the river or
the grass along the river banks in
reach of the water. All who have seen
the horse declare that the animal has
gone water-mad. The horse pays not
the least attention to boats unless the
occupants modest it with sticks.
Mr.. Parker in speaking about the
horse said that he had heard that the
horse had been out Of the water on a
few occasions since it first took to
the river, but that it refuses to come
out whenever any one is around.
THAT horse is having the time of it's
life. 1t may know that it is having a
good rest" further commented Mr..
Parker.

the worried-looking man. THE first

were not likely to be needed for some
time, and I didn't see any sense in
hauling it about. But she argued
otherwise.
"'You can't see to the end of your

HORSE REFUSES

STRANGE ACTIONS OF EQUINE
AROUSE CURIOSITY OF PEo-
PIE AT FREEPoRT, ILL.
UNABLE TO CATCH ANIMAL
Will Not Emerge When Anyone Is Near
Apparently Is Eating Nothing
Unless 1t Is Leaves of Trees
Along the Stream.

Freeport, Ill-"Truth is stranger
than fiction" This is an old saying,
but not so old but that 1t may apply
to present day affairs. A few days
ago there appeared short account OF
the strange actions of a horse, the
property of Michael Parker, plumb
er. The article went on to state that
Mr.. Parker had turned his black horse
out to pasture week previous to the
appearance of the article, and that the
animal had taken to the river the first
day that 1t had been turned loose, and
no one had seen it on dry land since.
Farmers, whose curiosity had been
aroused by the stories told of
the horse, went to the river at night
to see if the horse did not come out
to feed during the darkness, but
were astonished to learn that the
animal stayed in the water. One
day recently Mr.. Parker sent four
men up the river in row boat to
endeavor to get the animal out of
the river. The horse led them
merry chase, walking and swimming
in the river for nearly four miles.
1t was then that the men, their hands
blistered with rowing, gave up the
chase and returned to Freeport &C
knowledging that the horse had gone
crazy"
The other day, launch owner, hav.
ing heard the story, determined to as.
certain for himself how much truth
there was in the story. Louis Clark
with few friends went up the river
in his launch, and near the iron bridge
still found the horse in the water. He
and his companions were very much
surprised, but one of the young men
Immediately recognized the animal as
the property of Mr.. Parker.
When the launch drew close to
the horse it was seen that it was
stuck in the mud, or at least his
hind legs were in the mire to such

jumped to lis feet she besought him
to stay with her and not risk an en-
counter. He, however, tore himself
away from her arms and with bound
opened the folding doors that divided
the parlor from the dining-room.
Then he heard the footsteps of some
one making a rapid flight down the
cellar steps. Without a moments
hesitation he gave pursuit, and in the
dim light of the cellar beheld the
thief, covered in corner. The man
had no time to draw a weapon before
George tackled him. The question of
supremacy was settled after a short
wrestling on the floor, and, twisting
the thief's wrists behind his back,
George made him walk submissively
up the stairs.
When the kitchen light shone into
the face of the burglar George let his
fingers slip from their grip. by the

away from Elizabeth. What in thun-

None of your business!" the cul-
prit replied, sullenly.
Don't talk that way to me!' George
retorted, recovering from the first
shock and keenly feeling the disgrace
A cynical smile played on his broth
er's lips as he sneered:
IF you're going to do anything
about it, do it,"
In establishment George moved a
step backward. He wanted to remove
all suspicious of holding any physical
restraint over his brother, or any
threat. You ought to thank your
