AT luncheon at the University

told reporter for the Star-Bulletin
her pialik. for the formation Of q
-Children,s Players Company for Ho-
nolulu, an organization modelled after
the plan of the children's theater es-
tablished in several cities on the main
land.
One Of the principles of the scheme
rs the uplift of the children, to train
them morally and to give them an
idea OF Independence; democracy
would, perhaps. better describe it, for
there is to be nothing savoring of
charity As Mrs. Day expressed 1t,
Democracy viii stand at the portal
waving charity aside with one hand
and with the other opening the door
to opportunity. Knocking will not be
necessary"
Mrs. Day is enthusiastic over the
prospects and she has confidence in
her ability to carry to success her
ideas. II Is not q fad with her. One.
could decide that after a few minutes

object in which she has put years of

at the beginning, but the success
which followed her efforts was great
enough to cause her to forget the
rough road which led to 1t. Her idea
was to teach the. foreign children
Americas standard of morals and
democracy. In the spring of 1914 the
chiidren's theater became reality.
1t had gone beyond the dream stage
and from the receipts from perform
