WILL REBUILD THE
FAMOUS SH|DA TEMPLE

A special cable to the Hawaii
shinpo from its Toxic correspondent
| is as follows:
The board of trustees of the Zojoii
Temple at Shiba Park, Toxic. which
was burnt down by. a recent confiagra-
ton, have decided to build new tenn
PIE, to cover 22,5oo square feet of
ground. costing Y.1,500. COO
The old temple that was destroyed
cost was estimated at three million
dollars. About the fire, a Toxic paper
says as follows:
Toxic has lost one of its famous
places by the burning up OF the 20
joji Temple, Shiba Park. on Thursday
morning A little after ] o'clock an
inmate of the temple observed the
light of fire burning under the floor Of
the structure. The people gave the
alarm and soon the fire brigade ar
rived and was at work. The flames
spread with terrible rapidity, in spite
of the utmost efforts of the brigade
with fourteen engine pumps. In the
space of about an hour, the spacious,
splendid main building was totally re-
duced to ashes owing to the lack of
water. The flames then spread to the
monastery and the Kurohonzon Tenn
pie, the splendid old structure in the
rear Of the main temple esta bIishea
ny Tokugawa Iyeharu, ninth Shotgun,
which were also completely destroyed.
owing to the lateness of time and the
shddenness of the outbreak, the great
er part of the valuable treasures was
reduced TO ashes, there being scarcely
time to carry them out. The only
treasure that was saved from becom-
ing the prey of the devastating ele-
ment was tie famous images of Co
hyaku Rakan. The loss is roughly es-
timated at over four million yen The
fatal fire had it's origin, it is alleged.
In the act of a beggar, who kindled
fire under the floor for warmth The
beggar dozed, and when he awoke he
saw the flames already spreading
under the floor. Taken aback at the |
sight, the beggar ran to the police |
station and confessed the matter.
The ZoJoji is one of the eighteen |
great Buddhist temples in Kwanto |

JOAN Of ARC
IN THE STADIUM

In the history of dramatic literature
more particularly, there is much light
to be shed on the past by proper per-
ception of the present says writer
in "The Point of View," in the Octo-
Der Scribners. For example. the non
descript "shows' with which Weber
and Fields used to amuse us a few
winters ago in New York had a curious
kinship to the equally nondescript
comedies of Aristophanes. startling as
this suggestion may be to those class
zeal scholars who may seek their knowl
edge of the Attic stage humorist only
in the dust of German dissertations.
And there was an equal significance
in the recent performance of SchilIer's
| Joan of Arc'' by Miss Maude Adams
and her multitudinous associates in the
Harvard Stadium. This significance
was due to the fact that the circum-
stances of his performance out of doors
brough5 about return to stake con-
ditions closely resembling those that
obtained in the middle ages-and also
in the semimediaeval playhouse for
which Shakespeare and his contem-
poraries devised their mighty dramas.
In his admirable account of the de-
velopment of English tragedy, Pro-
fessor Thorndike describes the Eliza
bethan stage as "almost unrealizably
crude'; and he tells us that "places
were sometimes indicated by signs;
properties, beds, tables, or trees were
brought on and off, as occasion requir-
| ed; or a heavier property, like a cave,
might remain, whether the scene was
| in eaveland or a counting room. There
| was no drop-curtain; actors went off,
| others came on, and the place changed
| from a seacost to a palace; or, the
| actors merely moved across the plat
| form, and it transpired that they had
| passed from a fair and pleasant green
| to a room in the house of Faustus.''
! The performance of "Joan of Arc"
| in the Stadium makes it plain that
| modern audiences will accept the same
| method-when they have to do so be-
| cause of the unalterable conditions of
q special place of performance. And
| modern audiences are ready to make
the same imaginative effort that Eliza
| bethan playgoers made-if they are
| compelled to do this by the special
| circumstances. In the huge arena of
| the Stadium it was impossible to erect
! the five sets of scenery called for by
| the five successive acts,-Domremv,
| Chinon, \ Plain near Rheims. the Coro-
nation Cat Rheims), and the Battle
field. And as this was impossible the
next best thing was done.

Oceanic company will install more
frequent service. - Continued Joe.
"The return trip of the Alameda is
made in too short time and the lay
over makes stay too long. If l
can get Hilo and Kahului into line
and send a company to those cities it
strikes me that it will be appreciated
by the residents of those towns and
benefit me-
'Hilo has a pretty good hall and a
might good future. With the break
water as standing invitation for
vessels to call there you are bound to
see the town grow tremendously.
Kahului is going ahnd by leaps
and bounds and will soon be in pos
ition where the people will demand
good shows and I will be there with
the goods. Do you follow NEE
"The Orc company, let me whisper

want to say that the temptations were
too great for the members to resist,
but there was something in the climate,

want the people to set their gauges of
Cohen attraction at the Orc point
I want them to have a thought that
any of us may make mistakes and I
do not believe they win look upon the
Wise and Milton party that goes up
on Tuesday as anything but good.
They are colOred people with correct
ideas of genuine clean fun and they
know how to impart those ideas to the
! audience and bring out laugh"
People who go to the Orpheum oc-
casionally, those who 60 during the
first week of show, are under the
| impression that Joe Cohen is reaping
a harvest. but I have his personal as
surance that his harvests break in on

portunity of hearing this well known
band.
Cohen has an eve out for the flu
tue and there will be No scarcity of
amusements in his theater. The Wise
party play there again after it's return
from Hilo and will play TO cheaper
prices.
Il am in the position of the man
who is hanging to the tail of bear;

will turn round and bite. l am going
to give cheap shows here and / am
going to give the best the money will

auctions at low prices.

here to be wiped out by one sweep Of

demonstrated recently that the people

scheme of giving higher price show

if they are willing to pay more for

by this that motion pictures will be

the manufacturers are going to greater
lengths at all times to secure good sub
iects and they are spending as much
on one picture as some managers pay

pretations but I could see coming up
over the horizon the specter which has
haunted many managers on the main
land. The drama traced on celluloid. "
Joe was not boisterous when he de-
ivered himself of this but he looked
pleasant the while. His engagement of
the Orc company was a virtual break
ing in on the cheap amusement line
and giving something better than the
patrons of that class of entertainment
were accustomed to and with the addl-
ton of the motion pictures he was, in
a position to draw from the other
houses.
1.-The Orc company was good and
the motion pictures, will you ever for
get that first one which showed the
Italian cavalrymen riding down hills
Gee! but that struck terror into the
hearts of oldtime patrons of motion
pictures and we played the other
places to a standstill. Of course the
Orc companay is not to be taken as
the standard of the shows | am going
to put on at the Orpheum. The Wise
and Milton party in every respect IS
better and the show is more popular
for many reasons. I was only break
ing in with the first company and now
am settled and know what the peo-
pie want
From words dropped here and there
it may be taken that Joe, who looks
upon Honolulu as the nerve center Of
the Pacific, has things in mind for the
entertainment of Honolulu for months
to come. And, I take it, he is going
to reach out and Hilo will probably be
taken under his wing The idea of a
midpacifc circuit with Kahului and
Hilo on the route is not half bad. He
sees Hilo growing from the same cause
that advances Kahului, and there may
be a chance to get good companies here
and play them.

and that he frequently squanders
money that the people of Honolulu
may be amused. That he is here TO
protect his right of eminent domain
IS evidenced by the stiek-to-a-t iveness
he shows in spite of the losses he has
sustained during the transition period
when people did not feel sure that
they wished to be entertained.
''You see,'' said Joe again. "I

done much to bring tears of joy from

Blanche Hall Wants to Come

Miss Blanche Hall. who returned to
the mainland on the Korea after a visit
of eight days in Honolulu, was so fav
orably impressed and became so en-
thusiastic over the Islands that she de-
parted with the avowed intention of re-
turning here with her own company for
a season of several weeks at an early
date.
Miss Hall is the most popular and
cleverest stock leading woman who ever
played in Los Angeles, and for the past
five years has played all of the leading
roles in the Burbank stock company at
Oliver Morosco's Burbank theater in
that city.
So great is Miss Halls popularity

stock production while the piece was
still being used by the original star.
However, this win only be repeti-
tion of the feat accomplished last year
when Miss Hall was featured in the
Maude Adams role in the production OF
Peter Pan. Miss Hall played the part
of the "Flittle boy who wouldn't grow
up only few weeks after Miss
Adams herself had played it at an
other Los Angeles theater. The fact
that the production with Miss Hall ran
six weeks fully entities her TO the title
given her then of ga second Maude

among the pictures to be shown at the
Park Theater tomorrow night. There
is much about the film that is interest
ing if the critic of the Dramatic Mii
ror is to be believed, and Honolulu
should not miss seeing the series. They
will give a clear idea of bad men and
bad lands in the Far West. A "Time-

There Is the worth of the money paid

who were there last night is to be TAX

clever artists are attractions extraor-

asked because the manipulation does

Whether Carter does that is not known.

prestidjgitators of the old school and
as Carter belongs to an entirely new
school he may have other means OF
getting the goods. 1t is said he has
fifteen tons of paraphanalia so he IS
