VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

a local theatrical promoter or mana
ger must contend with, shall discuss
the SHOW" as we see it upon the
stage here.
At one of the show houses there is
at present a number which we would
gladly take our wives, our daughters,
our sisters and our girl friends to
hear but on the program of the same
house are two acts, one of which
might possibly be endured, while the
other would cause a considerable
blush, to say the least, to us and to
our company.
That our Shows" are subject to
censure all who have not yet been
perverted by them must admit, and
it is this that 1 desire to deal with
here. The fact is that rarely is there
performance in any of our popular
"theaters" which has not an act or
two that is "off-color." 1t seems ap.
parently inevitable that some of the
songs, acts or stunts presented must
be coarse and vulgar, and often worse
than that That the performers are
as coarse as their performances is APP
parent the moment they make their
appearance or open their mouths
They are not such people as we
would be proud to count among our
friends. They have no legitimate
right before the public and, apparent.
ly recognizing that they lack attrac.
tons and merit, endeavor to make up
for it by appealing to the baser and
coarser instincts Of the audience.
Their influence is destructive, espec.
ially so to the ignorant, the young,
and the impresslonable A constant
repetition of this character of per-
Torrance coarsens the community
1t is with this as with other disagree.

A FLEET BOY
WRITES HOME

Canton Ullinois) Register, February
ID: Mrs. Bella Montgomery Eggie.
ston has received an interesting letter
from her son, Arthur Eggleston, who
is on board the bEttleship West Vir-
,ginia flagship of the Pacific fleet, now
stationed at Honolulu, II. ].
The letter says that the feet was
expected to leave Honolulu for San
Francisco January 6, but later orders
were received which postponed sail
ing indefinitely, and the report when
the letter was written was that the
fleet would remain g month or two
longer at the islands, where the citi-
zens were doing everything in their.
power to make things pleasant for the
visiting sailors and officers.
Mr.. Eggleston tells of a trip to the
Island of Hilo, where Is situated the
Kilauea, the largest active volcano in
the world, the crater of which is three
miles in diameter. The party reached
the island December 20, and on their
first visit to the crater the molten
lava was about $50 feet. from the
rim; on the third day it had boiled up
to within 80 feet of the overflow mark.
Mr.. Eggleston and others went down
inside the crater, on the windward
side, to within 10 feet of the boiling
lava, and had the wind shifted, they
would have been scorched. Mr.. Egg
gleston says that it was the most
wonderful sight he had ever seen and
the strangest experience, to feel the
earth boiling and shaking beneath his
feet, the lava in places spouting up
so or 60 feet, like a geyser, from the
surface of the molten lake. On De-
cember 2 the overflow Of lava came
within mile of the city, but there
was no danger, as the flow tends al
ways toward the sea. However, Mr..
Eggleston says he would not care to
live there.
Mr.. Eggleston is leader of a quartet
on the battleship West Virginia, and
the organization has heen invited Ito
eight dinners. The natives like music,
and the boys never refuge invitations
when it is possible to accept. They
also have sung in all the principal
theaters of Honolulu.

able and Objectionable things that one
first oudurcs, then tolerates and I'm.
ally embraces them.
what, then, is the remedy For
such a state Of affairs in my judy
ment, certainly demands n remedy. I
recognize that from the promoters
standpoint numerous difficulties must
be met. Not being a philanthropist lie
must make financial success or close
down. His peculiar problem lies FIRST
in the fact that he must depend for
patronage upon a heterogeneous pop.
ulation, not wholly conversant with
English, and consequently he must
appeal to the eye as much as to the
ear, Subtle humor naturally makes
no appeal to this mixed population, so
the entertainment must be along less
delicate and more apparent and blunt
lines. Moreover, the c9re-free lethar-
gic attitude instilled into all by our
island climate creates no energetic
counter demand for more solid pabu-
lum. The promoter knows this and
knows that his success lies not in
plays (borne out by the Clarke ex-
perience) with plot which the audi
ence must follow, but in short acts
and stunts with plenty of action-in
something akin to vaudeville.
Having met and solved this prob
lem he is confronted with the second
one-that of securing talent" High
priced talent he can not very we'll af-
ford, for he must present frequent
changes as Honolulu is small, so he
confines himself to something within
his reach and eliminates large groups
OF performers. He is willing, and in
fact anxious, to get the best he can
get for the money, but being far from
the source OF supply he can not per-
sonally attend to the matter. When
he has signed his contract with his
! performers and paid their transporta-
ton down here he must keep them.
Recognizing this, there still is a
plain remedy against vulgarity upon
the stage. The few managers who are
in control of the local houses can
readily force their performers to so
modify their performances that they
will be unobjectionable. In many
cases but a slight modification will be
necessary, and will not interfere with
the real character of the perform
ance, for these vulgar touches add
nothing, and can never make a poor
act good. This would be the simplest
and best method of meeting the stu
alton and of raising the tone of our
shows, something which is sadly
needed. Alternatives would be cen
sorship committee either appointed
by the managers themselves or, by the
proper legal authorities.

THE THEATER SITUATION.


Editor Star Certain reflections
anent the theater situation in Homo
lulu constrain me to an utterance.
The public discussion of the Harry
Corson Clarke charges against Homo
lulu a day or two ago are still fresh
in the minds of all of us. can not
help but agree with him to a great
extent.
While Clarkes company could not
be rated as a first-class one, still 1t
was better than anything we have
had in the past ten years or more;
and the plays it presented were the
standard lighter comedies and not the
worthless blood and thunder melo-
dramas we have been surfeited with
in the past. 1t is unfortunate that
this company presenting this class Of
plays should have been such a fail
ure. l can not attribute it either to
the fact that these plays have been
presented before by poorer companies
or that the prices charged were too
high, we having paid far more for 10.
cal amateur productions, but rather to
the fact that Honolulu has become
welded to the cheap show, and, in
the abundance of this variety, has
lost much of its appreciation of the
legitimate play.
One thing clear. is that Honolulu
must always remain content with in.
ferior things and need never expect
and will never have first-class com.
pany such as Honolulans see when
they visit the East, and such as rare
ly comes as far west as the Pacific
Coast.

basis and at the same time consider.
