and winding up by a joyous home
coming
The Vitagraph of America, repre-
scented by a company of a dozen
S-artists, men and women, young and
elderly, staged the finale of a photo
play, with the giant liner Tenyo Maru
and the big Alakea wharf figuring con
spicuously in several Of the scenes
A romantic background was found in
the nodding cocoanut palms that
peeped over the horizon of shipping
sand buildings, as the camera installed
from considerable height recorded
the pantomine of an arriving trans
Pacific liner at tropical. Honolulu.
Is Perhaps one of, the most photo
ygraphed men in the business is M
sCostello, who was easily recognized
by the delegation of port officials who
awaited the arrival Of the Tenyo
sMaru from San Francisco this morn
ing, Mr.. Costello, Mrs. Costello and
two remarkably pretty little girls are
all familiar figures TO attendants of
the local picture houses.
With view of adding dramatic
finish to the hundreds of yards Of
film that had been exposed. during
the six day voyage from San Fran
cisco to the islands, special prepare
ton was made for the final setting.
The Vitagraph people were accord
ed many privileges in the arrange
i1tcnt of subtle and vivid setting for
their series of canned dramas"
The company will continue the trip
to the East in the liner sailing at
. five O'Clock this evening 1t is be.
lieved that on. the return trip induce
inents may be offered for 4 consider

''agonized" mother is depicted heart
broken and driven to the verge of a
raVing maniac, over the loss of her
only child, who is supposed to have
fallen into the angry sea.
For the first four days out from the
Golden Gate Old Neptune assisted in
making an animated background for
the moving picture dramatists. The
Japanese liner pIoughed her way
through some rough seas and the first
part of the trip was anything but a
pleasant one.
AS the Tenyo neared the islands, a
change for the better was noted. Cap
tain Ernest Bent is back on the bridge
after a delightful vacation spent on
the mainland.
The Tenyo brought seven cabin pas
sengers who will remain over at Ho-
nolulu for some weeks. The through
list includes Il cabin, 1917 second class
: and 356 Asiatic steerage passengers.
One hundred and fifty railway
freight cars filled with cotton con
tributed a considerable portion of the
cargo that is now serving to settle
the Tenyo Maru down TO her water
marks. The liner is carrying nearly
seven thousand tons freight to Oriental
ports.
A considerable quantity of oil is
being pumped into the vessel during
her brief stay at the port.
Hindoos, Chinese and Japanese
made up the varigated and cosmopili-
tan collection of 0rientas now re-
turning to their native land, all appar-
emily supplied with money.
