COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Belasco.

The Bird of Paradise Richard Wal
on Tully's American Hawaiian drama.
which begins an engagement at the Be
.asco Theater tomorrow evening, is de-
scribed as beautiful and profoundly dra-
the mystery of the Pacific Islands with
their centuries of unwritten history and
the fascinating chronological speculations
Of the tropic world and the tragic and
insoluble problems of intermarriage of
the races. Probably its most important
and interesting feature is it's faithful re-
production of life and atmosphere of the
Hawaiian Islands. This is accurate,
for Richard Walton Tully spent many
months there with this play in mind. All
the stage properties and much of the
scenery were brought from Hawaii to the
United States. Seven members of the
company are real Hawaiians and their
wildly sweet music is all of Hawaiian
origin. One of the play peculiar touches
is that which contrasts the eloquent real
ity of their lovely, unhistorcal songs with
that of a familiar hymn.
The company to be seeIa in Washing
ton is, almost without exception the
original company that introduced. the
play to the Pacific coast and carried it
through it's run of five lnon.hs at the
Maxine Elliott Theater, New York.
The. title role of Luanae is played by
Bessie Barriscale, who male a name for
herself several years ago in the widely
different role of Lovey Mary in Mrs.
Wigs of the. Cabbage Pate H." Prominent
in the cast besides Miss Barriscale are
Guy Bates Post, Lewis g. Stone, Mar
garet Langham and a score of others.
The play is in three acts with five beau
tiful and spectacular scenes all laid in
''the paradise of the Pacific" The final
scene shows kilauea in eruption, and is
a remarkable reproduction of that ia
nous volcano.

another accident with his motor, while

who are coming home from boarding

There is also milliner, Daphne, who
has been teIephoned to bring the mate of
the destroyed hat. and she turns out to
be an old flame of Harry's. A muddIed
situation follows, fraught with farcical
humor. Throughout the action the love
story of the Quaker maid and her worldly
bachelor sweetheart develops with many
a pretty love scene.

edy, The PerpleXed Husband, John
Drew takes up the cause of the suffering
male. Naturally enough, though unusual
as between a star and dramatist, MI
Drew is quite in agreement with Alfred
Sutro. who thinks that it is time for
woman suffrage to be discussed in terms
of satire. Mr.. Drew plays the role OF a
husband, who returns after long trip

has welcomed into the home several lead
ers of novel thought. She refuses to
meet him at the train and on his arrival
