At The PLAY.

Although James K. Hackett is one OF
the best known stars on the American
stage, one of the few actor-managers
in the country, and member of the old
clique who worshiped Augustin DAILY.
he was given a frosty welcome last
night at the Grand. The audience sat
stolidly through the first act, remained
so during the second, warmed slightly
during the third, and was ready to
award Mr.. Hackett deserved praise
when the curtain dropped Unlike most
plays. THE Grain of Dust improves as
it progresses. There's room for i'm
provement. It's a dramatfzatiOn by
Louis Shipman of David Graham Phil
lips foolish book which appeared orig
inally in the Saturday Evening Post.
Having watched Mr.. Hackett's mag
nificent acting in the third and fourth
acts, one cannot help wishing he had
appeared in a play giving wider scope
to his abilities. His admirers prefer to
remember him as Rudolph Rassendyll
in THE Prisoner of Zenda" than Fred
erick Norman in 1.-The Grain of Dust. :"
Critics have predicted q dearth OF
Shakespearian actors in the next
decade. Why does Mr.. Hackett conflne
himself to the modern drama?
Perhaps it is receptions like that
awarded Mr.. Hackett last night which
plays partially devoid. of action or
repartee west of Pittsburg. Undoubt-

audience took cheer. Even a verbal

In the third act Burroughs, the ia

ruin of the young attorney who has
married his stenographer- The wife
deserts him. But Norman rallies,
grasps an opportunity. wins gigantic
case. and, in the fourth act. regains his
fortune.
Then comes the feeble, happy. per-

THE FREELY SHOW.
It Is Hammerstein Production and
Ranks as Great Spectacle.

The name of Hammerstein in oper-
attic circles has always meant a per-
Torrance marked with artistry from
every standpoint. In consequence, the
announcement Of Miss Edith Thayer's
coming in new comic opera, 1.-The
FREELY" to the Grand on next Friday
evening, should convince all music
lovers that Arthur Hammerstein, who
acts as sponsor for 1.-THE FREELY" has
made every effort not only to sur
round his youthful star with the best
artists available, but has built one of
the most magnificent productions
from a scenic and costume standpoint
that has ever been presented in COM
edy opera.
This Is the first time since Miss
Thayer's appearance as the protegee
of the elder Hammerstein in grand
opera at the Manhattan opera house,
that she has been given a vehicle
wherein she could not only display her
wonderful range Of voice but her dra-
matte powers as well. Seats were
placed on sale this morning and while
the sale is heavy. there are good seats
yet to be had.
SWhat Happened to Mary"

WAILUKU, Maui, March 90. - a
brilliant affair was the dinner land
dance given by Captain Weeden OF
the &. 6. Manoa or her maiden voy-
age to Maui. The many. friends of
the genial captain remembered in his
generous invitation. Some forty sat
down to the sumptuous dinner 'serv-
ed in the elegant dining room of the.
new vessel, and some hundred and
sixty enjoyed the dance given on the
decks of the big boat. Captain Weeden
was in his usual jolly mood and well
coined his friends on the new boat of
which both he and Maui are justly
proud. The music was excellent, and
the affair from start to finish was
just such an entertainment as Maui
people expected when they heard of
the intentions of Captain Weeden.
At the Kahului Union Church last
Tuesday evening some fifty of the
people of the town came together to
talk over the matter of reinishing
and preparing the parsonage for the
arrival of Rev and Mrs. Howard Har
ris. 1t was decided to appoint CON-
mittee to solicit funds for the purpose
of putting the pretty house in thor
ough shape: It is understood that
generous response has been made by
all the people of the seaport town.
and that no one outside of Kahului
was allowed to assist in the work.
