"Candlemas Day"-February 2.
AzIz1 MN N l1TE N

We in America take little recognition
of Candlemas Day. Even in European
countries it is not observed as It was sew
eral centuries ago. but it is still held
as a holiday by the Church OF England
the festival of the publication of the
Virgin.
The popular name Candlemas is de-
rived from the ceremony which the
Church Of Rome dictates TO be observed
on this day, namely. a blessing Of can
dies by the clergy, and a distribution of
them among the people, by whom they
are afterward carried lighted in solemn
procession.
1t appears that in England in Catholic
times a meaning was attached to the size
of the candles, and the manner in which
they burned during the procession; that,
moreover, the reserved parts of the can
dies were deemed to possess a strong
supernatural virtue. a poet notes:
This done. each man his candle lights,
Where chiefest seeneth he
Whose taper greatest may be seen;
And fortunate % be-
Whose candle burueth clear and bright;
A wondrous force and might
Doth in these candles lie, which II
AZ any time they light
They sure believe that neither storm
Nor tempest doth abide
Nor thunder in the skies be heard
Nor any devils sIied.
Ncr fearful sIrtes that walk b night.
Nor hurts Of frost OF hail, &c.

Considering the Importance attached
to Candlemas Day for many ages, it is
scarcely surprising that there is a super
stition throughout Christendom that
good weather on this day indicates a

contrary, 6 good omen. An old Scottish
rhyme says:
II Caudlsmss Day he dry and fair.

THE SAVOY'S NEW
COMEDY TALENT

New talent will open at the Savoy
theater on Saturday night when the
comedy entitled "An Uptown Flat"
will be presented by the Malan- Ma
grath Comedy company, which arriv-
ed from San Francisco on the Wilhel
nina. The company includes Will
Malan, whose comedy is Of a rare or
der and his dress sartorial perfection;
Jim Magrath, blackface comedian:
Dot Raymond, a pretty little comedi-
enne and dancer, whose specialties IN
terpsichorean art are catchy; and Mel
lie Howard, also a pretty young wo-
man, who fits into all the comedy 81
tuations. Dot Raymond is tiny, pref
ty and cute, but her hats are the lar
gest in Honolulu just now. If you see
a big hat over very pretty young
woman, the latter is Dot Raymond,
and she's just as bewitching on the
stage as she is on the street. This
company has played all over the Pa
cific Coast and held the boards at the
California theater in San Francisco
for forty-two weeks. It's repertoire is
very long, and the sketches will be
changed frequently. The comedians
have fiattering notices of their play
ing on the mainland. The Savoy will
maintain it's reputation for clean CO.
medy and only such talent is being
engaged.
The Wilson Sisters, Countess lie
Pomme, the Musical Oldfields and
Foster, the blackface comedian, will
play the remainder Of the week and
then go to Hilo for brief engage
ment.
