KAHILIS DETERMINES
HAWAIIAN RANK

As the knights of Europe had their
banners, SO the chiefs and kings Of the
Hawaiian Islands. before the annexation
had their kahilis; the combination of
| colors and the use of the feathers in the
making determined their rank.
These kahilis form 4 prominent feature
| in one scene of THE Bird of Paradise"
when the girl Luana is told by the old
priest that she Is a direct descendant OF
kamahameha 1. and is entitled 10 tho
throne.
The priest has brought from a seGca
burial cave a chest which contains.
among other things, the yellow feather
cloak, the kahilis. and the token: all OF
which are symbols of royalty. and which
1t Is taboo for any save persons of royal
birth to wear. These are offered to the
girl as proof OF her legal descent.
The kahilis appear to this day on the
coat-of-arms of Hawaii and were collec-
tons of feathers in cylindric form fash
Toned to poles. which were from twelve
to twenty feet in length. At distance
the punches OF feathers appeared to be
plumes and the coiors used designated
the rank of the owner. Those of tho
reiGnins family were yellow. Persons
who had married into the kinEly branch
added red to the yellow Of the kahilis.
Others of lesser rank made combinations
Of red and green, and so on down to the
petty Cnlef VINO USED the gray fealherS
OF the gulls
1t Is a Hawiian belief that it IL pirikea
Dad luck) to take OFT these kahilis in
the sunshine and consequently, even To
the present day. on occasions of cere-
mony or at the funeral of parsonage OF
high rank, they are not taken out unless
the day be cloudy or after shutdown.
The kahilis shafts were usually n,ade
OF highly polished wood in which were
sunken the shinbone or one of the ann
bones of a noted warrior or chief killed
in battle. In the olden days the value of
one of these shafts depended entirely
upon the number of bones OF persons Of
rank inserted in them. At the present
time there are a number of OF ancient
Hawiian priests who are still able to call
by name and In their correct order tho
bones Of dead and gone warriors who
have been honored by being placed In q
kahiiis stan.
1t was the Hawiian custom to secretc
the body after death, so that the bones
and teeth could not be placed In vessels
intended for base use and thus bring
dishonor to the memory Of the dead.
All the properties used In the Oliver
Morosco production of Richard Walton
Tully's drama of Hawaiian life Just be-
fore the annexation are authentic.

PROMISED NEXT WEEK.


Lovers of the drama will welcome the
appearance Of Elsie Ferguson at the New
National Theater next week in the out
cast, the play which has created
good deal OF comment during its long
run at the Lyceum Theater In New
York this season. 1t is Just one year
since Miss Ferguson was in Washing
ton in THE Strange Woman" Few
stars before the public today come more
honestly by stellar rank than she and
few have her large following throughout
the country. Her appearance in a new
play is therefore 4 matter of much
more than passing interest and on the
present occasion the interest is enhanced
through her conspicuous success in "Out-
cast" which incidentally was the SEN
sation of the London season last year.
Mr.. Davies is better known to the Amer
lean public for Cousin Kate" in which
Ethel Barrymore appeared, and THE
Mollusc." His latest effort shows him
in a new light and in London he is ac-
counted through this contribution to
stage literature as one of the most force
full writer's of the day. The scenes of
"Outcast" are all laid In London at the
present day. Charles Frohman and Klaw
& Granger have surrounded Miss Fer
guson with notable company Of Eng
Ish and American actors including
Charles Cherry. Marguerite Leslie, War
burton Gamble. J. WoodaIl Birdie. Nell
Compton. Leslie Palmer. and Gillian

rector of the American Baptist Pubica-
ton Society, Of Philadelphia. says:
After seeing these pictures l must con-
TESS that they are the best war pictures
| have ever seen. We are so far re-
moved. SO detached from the scenes of
this terrible conflict, that We are apt to
have an inadequate view of its colossal
significance. its awful suffering its
enormous destruction of life and prop
erty. But these pictures bring the ruined
cities, the homeless refugees, the trains
Of wounded. and even the battles before
our very eyes. One cannot refrain from
admirinE those daring camera men who
went right up to the firing line to give
us these pictures. i was afraid that n
picture showing scenes of the war would
arouse the belligerent feelings of the
various nationalities, but these pictures
give an impartial view and avoid any
tendency toward a clash OF IDEAS and give
one an insight and understanding Of the
huge conflict that long reading could not
give

in Joint Recital.

Nine Alma Gluck. soprano, and Efrem
Zirnbalist, the violinist. Will be heard in a
joint recital at the National Theater Fri
day afternoon, April 9. at 40 Alma
Gluck Is considered one Of the great So
pranos Of the world. and is a past mis-
tress In the art of legato singing We
repeat that among the younger element
of our vocalists Nine Chuck is the first
TO be entitled to be mentioned In the
same breath with the great singers who
have blessed the musical world with
their genius during the last twenty-five
or thirty years. The world Is full of
good singers. but how pitifully is the
aggregation of singers to whose singing
is brought the art of the musician and
the power OF a personality. Perhaps there
may be dozen such in the world a. 4
time. Mime. Alma Gluck is one of them.
No artist in recent years has won creator
popularity in q short time than Efrem
Zimbalist, the great violinIst Endowed
with an excellent technique, he possesses
a complete mastery of his instrument
upon which he is able to produce n tone
at once fine, and sonorOus and distin-
guished by certain noblesse. This con-
cert will be the last one of the artists
course g%en this season under the man.

POli's-'.Paid In Fuu.-

Eugene Walters first dramatic sue
cess, Paid in Full" will be the OFFER
ing of the Poll Players this week. Mr..
Walter has since written The Easiest
Way" THE Wolf,' The Trail Of the
Lonesome Pine" and Fine Feathers,
but II is doubtful IL he ever wrote a
more human story and one which ap-
peals more directly to all classes of
playgoers than his Paid In Full"
Joseph Brooks and their friend. Capt.
Williams. retired seafarinS man.
Brooks is an employee of a BROKERAGE
firm on salary of SIS week. He and
Mrs. Brooks live in 4 comfortable but
unpretentious Harlem fiat and at the
opening of the play might be con-
sidered fairly happy were II not for
Brooks overweaning envy of those of
his associates who have more money,
Eventually. this envy masters the
young clerk and he embezzles a large
sum Of money, which. by the way,
docs not add a whit to his or his wife's
happiness, though 1t does improve their
material situation.
Soon the day of reckoning comes,
and Brooks is about TO be arrested.
He comes to his wife with the plea
that she go to Capt. Williams. Brooks
employer. and plead for mercy. Cant.
Williams Is believed by Brooks to be
in love with Mrs. Brooks. and it is this
supposed fact which causes him to be-
lieve that forgiveness can be secured.
Mrs. Brooks does go to Capt. Williams
and secures the pardon for her hus-
band, but not as Brooks had expected.
The scene between Mrs. Brooks and
the sea captain is one of the most
virile in the realm Of drama.

Guiding the original band of Hawaiian
singers and players. seen here before,
and who with their weird music and
sweet songs lend an atmospheric
charm to the play.
Special attention has been paid to
the stage settings and each of the
five scenes is a masterpiece of the
stage mechanics craft, opening on tho
island of Puma with the bay in the
distance, from there to the interior
of a native grass hut, then to a lawn
at Honolulu. from there to a noun
tain pass leading to Mount Kileaua,

"BefOre and Aftcr.o

Turning from the dramatic realism
OF Eugene Walter. as exemplified in
Paid in Full" the Poll Players will
be seen next week in the farce Be
fore and After" from the pen of Leo
Ditrichstein. This bit of fun tells its
story in most amusing fashion. The
central figure is nervous irrita BILE
nerve specialist. who is about to col
lapse as a result of overwork He is
visited by the agent of a patent medi-
cine concern which manufactures
mysterious powder that puts every one
in most happy humor, even the
veriest crouch. The agent receives no
consideration from the physician I'M
til little of the powder is administer
ed to him surreptitiously. This pow
der has the additional characteristic of
putting one in such a good humor that
he is prone to kiss the first woman he
meets. From the moment the physi-
clan discovers the magical quality of
the drug the complications follow with
amazing and amusing rapidity.
Before and After was such a sue
cess as a straight farce that last year
1t was made into a musical comedy
with equal success
