Last night, and the play should be as
much talked Of as the book To all who
have read the book it is patent that only
a strong company can with credit give
the play. The company is a good one,
and JEANNE Tyler, as the leading char
acter, makes much OF a character that
naturally arouses little sympathy.
As in the book, clinging gowns. ar
dent glances, deep-drawn signs, linger-
ing caresscs and the ubiquitous tiger
skin rug are much in evidence in the
play. The dramatization adheres closely

really and truly as good as she is
beautiful, does well in the role selected
for her. She makes her audience be-

straight and narrow.

Pu VI, His Imperiab Majesty of
China, shared honors with George
Washington yesterday SO far as the
local Chinese were concerned. 1t
was the Emperor's birthday as well
as Washington's, and the Chinese
surely did the thing up brown.
After the parade was all pau, the
Chinese kept up their end by parad-
ing the streets with their float, the
dragon following behind.
About o'clock the dragon turn
ed his attention to the Chinese sec
ton Of the city, and it was then that
millions of fire crackers caused the
hideous thing to bow its head in
submission.
Whenever large explosions of fire
crackers took place, the dragon got
right in the midst of them, biting
and grabbing at the exploding mass,
but without effect.
At Nuuanu and Hotel streets, the
coming of the dragon had the effect
of causing a horse to nearly demol-
ish wagon with his frantic en-
deavors to get out of reach.
