Richard Walton Tully's romantic play
of the Hawaiian Islands, 1.-The Bird of
Paradise will return to the Belasco
Theater this week. after two years alb
sence, opening tomorrow evening.
The story of THE Bird of Paradise"
deals with the lives of two men and
two women. One man comes to the is
lands filled with high ideals. only to
fall in love with and marry a pretty
brown-skinned daughter of the land.
He gradually sinks lower and lower
through the sensuousness of the
tropics. Finally, he casts off his Ha-
waiian wife. The other man, a human
derelict. is raised out of the mire
through the pure influence Of an Amer
lean girl. and accomplishes what the
other man came to the islands for.
Through it all runs the tragic love
story of Luana, the poor little Ha-
waiian girl.
Oliver Morosco. who has given the
public some of the best plays in recent
years, is the producer of the piece, and
he will introduce a newcomer in the
part of Luana in Miss Lenore Ulrich.
She will be supported by what might
be termed the original Los Angeles
cast. which includes William Desmond
as DR.. Wilson, Mary Gras as Diana. the
American girl; David Hartford as the
drunken beachcomber, Laura Adams
as the nurse. Robert Morris rs Capt.
Hatch. the Yankee trader; James Nell
son as the high priest, John W. Burton
as the missionary. and the original band
of Hawaiian singers and players who
We're seen here during the former en-
gagement, and whose sweet voices and
weird music lend a wonderful charm
to the action of the play.
Manager Morosco has given 'The
Bird of Paradise" an entirely new pro-
duction for this it's fourth tour, and
no expense has been spared to keep 1t
up to it's original standard. The vol
cano scene in the last act is terrifying
in it's impressiveness.
A popular matinee will be given We'd
nesday and the usual matinee Satur-
day.

not only as a statesman of brilliant
achievements, but also as sort OF

The two leading women who share
honors with Mr.. Arliss in the interpre-

Miss Dale plays the role of a spy
working against DisraeH in Russian
interests and Miss Lascelles is a type
of the young womanhood of the Vic
torian era.
