theatcr gocrs Is made, that arrange
ments have been completed which will
give to Honolulu first class stock
company--a company that Is not In
any way composed of poor actors, and
whose product Ions are In no way medi-
OGRE or middle class, but company
which, though 1t will play at prices
that are strictly popular, can and does

dian who Is at once its star and owner.
II IL not without interest at this stage
to examine some of the records of the
company anu S'Ill' VI lnf u'ldllN WHICH
are to hand. OF what Is proposed here
details that will be elaborated from
time to time. Mr.. Clarke himself Is
no stranger to Honolulu and IL well
has shown on former visits. His great
reputation both In the city and from
without will insure him a hearty well
come. lie has for some time now been
playing these stock seasons, inter-
spcrsing them with tours of the great
successes with which his name IL con
nected. In the West and Northwest
he Is regarded as the father of the stock
company idea, and his name has long
been one to conjure with. He has had
seasons In Denver which lasted nearly
two whole yoars-to say nothing of
! the seasons that he has played In San
Francisco. Seattle. Portland, and many
other cities that have varied in length
/ from ten weeks to six months.

himself in his tours of what Happen
ed to Jones'" What Did Tomkins Do
and His Absent Boy" But there ~
one feature of Mr.. Clarke's season,
which should not be overlooked. II Il
this: that throughout their course he
stages nothing but the latest and best
comedies From this fact they have
come to be known in the Western coun-
, try as Laughing Seasons" a sobriquct
that In itself is a tribute to their quail
ity, and to the fact that in no play
produced IL permitted any word, action
or suggestion that in the very least
degree bears the faint Of horseplay
/ suggestion or vulgarity. Mr.. Clarke
has established for himself a reputa'
ton for first class company, COM
posed of the best people obtainable, and
presenting the finest of comedies-ar
ity.
The Honolulu laughing season Will
commence Monday, January 20, and
Mr.. Clarke guarantees that he will
come to the city supported by COM
pany of more than ordinary merit

who. In addition to their talents, are
good to look upon, both in nature's
charms and In the creations of th'
drcssmsker. He will present the very
latest royalty comedies from the East
and win stage them with that lavish
hand and attention to detail that gain
