THE AUTHORSHIP OF A PLAY.

Honolulu. Aug. 81, 1914.
! Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
Sir.-In yesterdays edition of the
| morning Advertiser ! observed in an
article entitled. Sailor Boys to Help
| Big Show" that the authorship of
! the Spirit of Hawaii is credited to
VIII Sabin. and to correct any erro-
neous impression the reading public
may gather from the article in cues
ton, | take this means of stating the
facts that the public may judge for
itself.
To begin with, it is immaterial to
me to whom credit should be given
1t is not credit am after-but results.
may say in passing that l have, am
now, and will continue to devote
great deal of time and considerable
money in the production of this sketch
from which l hope the business COM
munity and the general public will
ultimately reap benefit as an adver-
Using medium of value to these
islands.
But, as to the authorship of the
Spirit of Hawaii" In either Octo.
Der or November. 1918, in the course
of general conversation with Mr.. Sa-
bin, suggested that he devote his
efforts toward writing typically Ha-
waiian sketch for theatrical reproduc-
ton, having in view at the time the
demand on the mainland for Hawaiian
features. Mr.. Sabin was at the time.
and for quite while previously had
been. out of employment, so | offered
him 500 if he could write sketch
which would be Hawaiian in its ma
ture, and at the same time tend to
create on the mainland a favorable
impression of these islands, rather
than lowering, as is the case in the
Bird of Paradise" l may say right
here that nothing came of this CONVEX
sation for the reason that Mr. Sabin
was unable to formulate any original
ideas as a basis for a sketch, and
there the matter would have rested
had it not been for the fact that |
conceived the scheme myself and sub
mitted the plot to him. Thereupon he
went to work on the sketch, the copy
of which was submitted to me from
time to time. Not only was the orig

wise it could not have been produced
with success on any stage. Not only
this. but the entire sketch was ar
ranged by me so as to make ii an
authors dream which was not con-
tanned in the original conception.
When the sketch was finally complet-
ed. ! was dissatisfied with it, and, &C
cordingly rewrote an entire scene
thereof which materially strengthened
the sketch and made 1t susceptible OF
easy comprehension by an audience.
In accordance with my verbal prom
Use at our first conversation, have
long since paid him 800 for the work
that he did not do; $50 of which was
paid by my personal check, and the
other $50 was paid to him in gold

tunate accident might add that |

was amply sufficient Under these
circumstances I considered and do

which the people Of Honolulu and the
Territory of Hawaii are welcome.
/ do not claim credit for the verse
in the sketch, for that was written by
Mr.. Sabin, although. the sentiment in
the same was furnished by me.
In conclusion. l beg to state that |
do not wish to detract in any way
from another mans labor, but having
paid amply for that which was fur
nished me in the sketch, fail to see
how the authorship Of the same can
justly be attributed to Mr.. Sabin.

put an end to an incident which is
to me, and which cannot
prove of any benefit either for promo
