PROPOSES HISTORICAL PAGEANT
INSTEAD Of FLORAL PARADE

Although It was currently reported
some time ago that the Promotion
D Committee proposed divorcing itself
from active management of the an.
nual floral parade, no evidence of
such intention was manifest at. the
meeting of the committee yesterday
afternoon, at which plans for the next
big fete day were discussed. 1t is UNI
derstood that the first thing that will
receive attention is the selection of
a director to handle the multitudinous
and burdensome details connected
with the ever enlarging parade and
carnival week. The position was most
ably filled by Arthur F. Wall, during
the past two years, but the committee
realizes that it could not in justice
to Mr.. Wall, expect him to assume
the task again.
It was also suggested by B. Won
Damn, a member of the committee,
that the character of the event be
changed somewhat, and that the
name floral parade" is becoming
somewhat trite. He proposes that
the celebration be made to center
each year about some prominent
event in Hawaiian history, such as
the discovery Of the islands by the
Spaniards, some centuries ago, when
a Spanish vessel was driven ashore
on the Island of Maui, and her crew
became merged with the natives. Or
of the more recent coming of Captain
Cooke; the various conquests of Kane
hameha l.; the abolition of the tabus
the defying Of Pele by Queen Kapio
lani; the seizure of the Islands by
the British, and their restoration by
Captain Thomas, etc.
The idea met with favor from the
committee, and the possibilities sug
/gested will be followed up.
Moving Picture Proposition.
The committee considered a propo
sition made by a motion picture com
pany, of San Francisco, to exploit
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-05-18

but the fame which he has brought
the Islands in other lands.
The wide range of the artist is well
exemplified by a comparison of his
paintings, "Waialua Stream" and
Might" The former is an airy SYM
phony of color, tender and full of feel
ing, shrouding the spectator with the
atmosphere of the South Seas. The
other, representing a cypress against
a cloud effect, Is solitude and sombre-
ness typifed, reminding one of Boeklin
in this respect. It is remarkable for
it's coloring and original handling and
exceedingly well done.
Another work OF special mention is
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-05-18

Hawaii through means of pictures
taken in the islands. The 1915 Ex-
position Company, of the Coast city,
is preparing to tour the United States
with a train of fifteen special cars,
which will visit 1416 cities, for the
purpose of booming the big show and
Hawaii has a chance to be represent
ed in this through her moving pic
tures-if she is willing to come
across with the cost, which is not
mentioned. Secretary Wood stated
that the train will probably carry an
orchestra, and that his suggestion of
Hawaiian aggregation of singers for
this purpose met with enthusiastic
approval.
May Use Quarantine Launch.
A letter received from Surgeon
General Rupert Blue, of the U. s,
Marine Hospital Service, grants the
committee permission to have one
representative accompany the quaran'
tine launch to meet incoming vessels
from the Coast. 1t refuses like per
mission, however, for vessels coming
from the Orient. .a,.,
