FOUR HAWANANS
HIT AT FRISCO

waldemar Young in San Francisco
Chronicle, April 29.-Topping the
Orpheum Bill this week are Toots
Paka and her Hawaiians. AS the act
stands her Hawaiians" are almost
the whole of it-and goodl II Toots
herself could or would only give US
the real Hula, things might be differ
ent.
Toots is a dusky dame with the
languor of the tropics in her eyes.
She appears first in a large white
"mo-mou," which hangs around her at
large distances without even getting
close. To those who don't know
what a "mo-mou" is, I will explain
that it looks like a sister to a night
gown and first cousin to a Mother
Hubbard. And Toots wears one and
stands around and watches "her Ha-
waiians" work. In her act everybody
works but Toots.
'Her Hawaiians" are three in num-
ber AS have pointed out, they fur
nish most of the entertainment. They
do this with Hawaiian songs and
Hawaiian tunes on both native and
international instruments. They work
snappily and play and sing with the
nerve and vim that would send any
act right over the footlights to sue
cess. One of them has an odd way
of manipulating the guitar which wins
him salvos. The others distinguish
themselves vocally and instrument
ally. 1t is all corking good entertain
ment.
Meanwhile Toots is standing around
in her white "mo-mou" looking trop.
ical. She makes an exit finally and
returns for the main event. This Is
programmed as her famous and orig
inal Hula-Hula dance" Her costume
now is gorgeous. The music suggests
the heavy incense Of the South seas
She starts. She dances. She finishes
Nobod is even mildly shocked. The
Hula has been abridged. 1t has had
it's pepper cut ot It is tame beside
the Texas.
Of course, all that is perfectly
proper for perfectly proper audiences
at perfectly proper vaudeville. None
can gainsay it. At the same time
there was some disappointment. that
Toots, after standing around in her
"mo-mou" and watching her Hawa-
iians entertain, didn't tear loose her.
self when her turn came. It is a ter
rible disappointment to prepare ones
self to be shocked and then not get
it. It is like an incipient sneeze that
never quite arrives.
The act is set amid scenery quite
fitting and beautiful, and is, in every
way, a novelty. Toots' company"
however outbid their star for favor.

Lack Of Time Forces Action.
A number Of the members wanted
to defer action until a copy Of the bill
in question could be examined, since
no one present seemed to have ac-
tually seen such copy. Mr. Klamp
urged against this on the ground that
time was an important factor, the
bill now being under consideration by
Congress. Action as above noted was
thereupon taken.

GEORGE BoRUP, ARCTIC
EXPLORER, is DROWNED,

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April U.s.
George Borup, Yale postgraduate stu.
dent, Arctic explorer with Peary, and
about to go north in June on another
trip, was drowned from a canoe at
Crescent Beach, near New London,
this evening. Another Yale man,
Samuel Winthrop Case, a post-gradu.
ate, was in the canoe, and he was
drowned.
The sea became rough after they
were out about three-quarters of an
hour and the canoe was upset. The
bodies have not been recovered.
Case was in the mining engineering
department and Borup was taking
course in geology. Borup graduated
from Yale in 1907 and Case in 1911.
In February of this year 1t was an,
nounced that Borup and D. S. Mac.

expedition, would start on a new Arc.

previous expeditions, really existed.
The trip was scheduled to start this
coming July, and was backed by
number of prominent scientists.

Boss Penr0se Under Fire

A contribution of 25,000 straight from the till of the Standard Oil com pany has been traced to the hands of Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylva- mia, and he says the money was used to carry New York for Roosevelt in 1904. Roosevelt denies the allegation and defies the allegator. No one knows exactly what was done with the money except ex-Secretary Cortelyou, who managed the campaign of that year, and his memory may fail him when he is called to the stand.
 Congress is about to adjourn and it has no time to give to any investiga- ton this summer The matter will be apt to come up in December when the result of the election will be fully known and weighed, and the people will then expect that the powerful Penrose will be investigated as well as Archibald, and that if the former is guilty he will be impeached as readily as the judge who lacks powerful friends. Penrose has long. been a source of machine influence in Ameri- can politics, and the indications are that he has at last been trapped.

The County Roads

The Board of Revenue of Jefferson county has built good roads. Good material has been used, and the work has been honestly done. Upwards of $250,000 has been expended on the county roads this year, and the results are seen and appreciated by the public, but after good roads are made they must be constantly mended if they are to remain in good condition.
 Many of the recently built highways are already needing repair. After a road is macadamized the Board of Revenue shauld! place repair man in charge of every mile and half or two miles. He should be paid to keep the road in thorough condition, and be made responsible for his work.
 Some of the highways within the city limits, which were county roads prior to 1910, are now in poor condi- tion because the city revenues are not ample at this time to keep them up properly. But with the county it is different There is no excuse for having wornout macadam highways in Jefferson.

| From July Bookman
 From all sides comes testimony to | the importance of the literary critic in determining the fate of books. Pub fishers snap their fingers at him and
 authors thrive in his despite. No By ron of these days could complain that any rising authors soul, that very fiery particle, has let itself be snuffed out by an article Authors have died and worms have eaten them, but not of literary criticism-not, at least, within the memory of men now living. It is said that the chance conversation
 of the dinner table has more to do with the fate of a book than a dozen signed reviews. Hence the absurdity of the suspicion that crops out now aud again that reviews are corrupt. They are not corrupt, even when cor ruptible, for the simple reason that they are not worth bribing. A plain oral expression of like or dislike, no reasons given, cheerful ejaculation. a groan, an oath, has more effect on a
 books material success than the unan-
 imous decision of a worlds parliament
 of critics
 Now, such being the state of affairs, there would seem to be a field for a new and very important order of work
 CTS If the offhand comments of ones lacquaintances have so much to do with
 the success of @ book, why not engage
 gentlemanly persons of social taste to | say good word for 1t In a casual way and aid in It's introduction? Every one knows how well this method used to work in the case of certain cham lpagnes.
 The agent, very good fellow indeed, was a member of many convivial groups, and somehow that particular wine was ordered by each group with out any ones suspecting why. As ap- piled to books, 1t seems even more practicable. It would bring much un- used talent into play, creating a new
 class which could readily be recruited
 from reviewers on the one hand and salesmen on the other. Most review
 CTS would do better as salesmen; many
 salesmen would do better as reviewers
 On this intermediate ground of polite l though mercenary, enthusiasm, who
 can doubt that the natures of both
 would expand? They would require of
 course a title of some dignity. We suggest that they be termed literary lpermeators.
