entirely new music prepared by Prof
Carl Miltner. According to the synop-
sis, Leslie Alden,S an English play
wright, is working on new play. He
falls asleep in his study and, in a
dream, sees the perfection of his plot.
The dream reveals, Lehua, an immor-
tai woman of HaWaii's volcanic reg.
ion, where Pele, the Hawaiian goddess
of fire, is ruling spirit Lehua loves a
man in the upper world who was at
one time immortal, but who was driv-

her lover, and believes he will some.

world of daylight. %-.
Alden, in the dream, sees the lover.
With the magic power of the kahuna,
he passes safely through the fires,
meeting Lehua. The priest leaves Al
den to his fate. Lehua, however, be-
seeches Pele for permission to de-
part with her lover The goddess con.
sents. the kahuna is thwarted-a
dream. "@ ,...". ~:.

cast includes Lehua, an immortal
woman of the volcano; Leslie Alden,
a young English playwright; Jones,
an English butler; pele, the goddess
of fire; the kahuna, and Leilani and Ke-
aloha, Pele's hula girls. Mr.. Doutlitt

Mr.. Roper, in declaring for the discard
ing Of aged employees without regard to

remedy the conditions.
Postmasters, he said, should notify
their employees that they will be kept in
the service only so long as the govern
ment is getting value for its money.
Wage scales, he said. should be readjust-
ed to keep step with the years. II an en-
ploye has worked for the government
faithfully for forty years, he said-in ef-

We did not create this distressing
situation" he said, but we must deal
with it There is no valid reason why
positions in the postal service should be
retained by those unable to ill them"
