Oliver Morosco will present The Bird
of Paradise at the BeIasco this week,
the scene of which is Hawaii
The first scene in THIS absorbing drama
discloses a cavern on the Puma coast
with its grass house aftOrding a glimpse
of palms and blue water. Native laboreTs
from the sugar plantation are here as
Sembled, performing most curious haunt
ing and plaintive airs on strange instru-
ments, and lifting up their voices in old
! songs of love. and adventure, relics of
their beautiful barbarism.
All these atmospheric touches seem
spontaneous. Their effect is said to be
A creation of an authentic picture of a
place and people instinct with poetry.
The beautiful melodies that accompany
, the movement emphasize II in a most dra-
matte manner.
The story briefly is as follows: A young
American doctor who has come to these
islands on a philanthropic mission is in
fatuated with the Princess Luans: mar
ries >her; forgets his mission, and con-
fesses that the spirit of the place has
got its fioweT-cOvered fingers into his
brain
Meanwhile, a beachcomber, played by
Guy Bates Post. nerved by the counsel
of a pretty American girl with purpose

mission.
Meanwhile the doctor-husband of the
Hawaiian is growing restless and asham-
ed. He yearns to be a factor in events
that are making history. The brown
skinned wife realizes this. She cannot fit
into the new order and her own people
have turned against her.
Luana becomes A prey of the ancient
superstitions of her race. She feels that
she has been doomed by the lamentations
of the priest. Co. she tells her hus-
band, land be the big white man you
wish to be-" Then, to save souls loyal to
her race. that she believes she has be-
trayed and TO purge her own soul, plunges
into the blazing crater of Kilauea, for
"Pele" is angry with the island and its

THE WEEKS PLAYBILLS
NatiOnaI-JOhn Drew in s.The Per-
picked Husband"

Standardization Drew in "The Per-
picked Husband"
Charles Frohman will present John
Drew in The Perplexed Husband" by
Alfred SutrO at the New National this
week. This fOur-act comedy, which was
the success of the London season when
it was given there this year. repeated its
triumph at the Empire Theater, New
York, this season.
The story Of The Perplexed Husband
has to do with a London tea merchant.
who returns home after a long trip to
find that his wife has been converted to
the cause Of woman suffrage. Two IA
natics on the subject are making a pro-
longed visit and have persuaded her to
fall in with their line of thinking
When the husband is brought up sharp
against this new tide of affairs in his home
he knows not what to do. First he
threatens to kick out the two modern
thinkers. a shrew and a lazy philosopher,
but the wife Tetorts that if they go, she
goes with them.
At this point the husbands sister comes
10 the rescue. She is a practical creature
and sees that she must fight the stu
alton with the same weapons that are
being used by his opponents. Why not
introduce into the home circle beautiful
girl who has been in his employ, and
pretending that he has been won over TO
their way of thinking. go a step farther
and say that she needs converting, also?
The plan meets with his approval, and
as a prelude to introducing the lovely in
truder, would it not be good idea to
read all the books and papers by the
new thought sages? In a remarkably
short time the husband seems as modern
as either OF the two fanatics who well
come him gladly into the fold. Then he
brings into the home circle the beautiful
girl with Greek soul, caring for naught
except the beautiful and harmonious, and
wearing gowns that are soon the envy
of the other two women.
The situation and complications that
ensue are OF a diverting nature, and never
has Mr.. Drew had a more pleasing OPP
portunity to display the fine polish and
natural light comedy manner that wins
him the admiration Of his public.
In the company. headed by Mary Bo-
land, are such weIl-known players as

A Remarkable Recovery

Harry S. Barber was stricken by appen
dicitis last Friday morning and became
so bad that he had to be taken on the
H. II to st. Joseph's Hospital, Philadel-
phia. Before he arrived there the APP
pendix bursted and there was little hope
OF recovery when the operation was per-
formed, but by surprising and superior
surgical skill he is still alive with hopes
of recovery.
The intestines were irrigated thru a
hole i'll his back, thus removing matter
poisonous to the body. Having a strong
constitution with skilIful care and no UNI
expected affliction the prospect is now
favorable for his recovery.
