HEBREWS PREPARE
FOR "YOM K|PPuR'
"Day Of Atonement" to Be CeIe-
brated Friday and Saturday
of This Week.

Washington Hebrews are preparing
for the observation this week Of the
Day of Atonement. or "Yom Kippur."
Ceremonies will begin at sunset FRI
dag and will end at sunset Saturday.
This celebration comes as a climax to
the holiday seaDon, which began last
Wednesday.
.Yom Kippur" is the most solemn of
all the days in the Hebrew calendar.
Devout Hebrews spend the entire day
In the synagogue. In fasting and
prayer.
The day proper has four services. OF
these the Mussaf or additional service
contains description OF the atonement
rites as practiced In the ancient days
In the temple at Jerusalem: and the
Neilah service Is understood to be held
at the time when decision IL finally
made as to mans fate, and thus the
Neilah prayers instead Of having the
usual phrase. "Inscribe us in the book
of life," uses the expression: Seal us
In the book of life"
According to Hebrew tradition ex-
pressed in an ancient law book. the Day
of Atonement, when spent In praying
and repenting. will bring pardon for
sins between man and God: but as for
the sins committed by man against his
fellow man the day cannot bring pardon
until he has appeased his fellow man.
This idea is the basis OF the effort al
ways made before the Day OF Atone
ment to bring peace between such
friends who have become estranged and
are on unfriendly terms with one an
other; and In this way, the day Will

PEN WOMEN SEEK
LOWER POSTAL RATE
Would Reduce Tax On Manuscripts
: Of Aspiring Authors.

Lower postal rates for manuscripts
of aspiring authors is sought by the
local branch of the League of Amer
lean Pen Women and an active cam
paign will be begun today to bring
pressure to bear on Congress to re-
duce the rates of postage now
charged on such matter.
The members of the League met
last night at the Public Library and
the most important matter of busi-
ness considered was that dealing
with the high rate of postage.
According to the speakers. the
high cost of authoring" has de-
veloped into real burden. Manu-
scripts are sent out nowadays at
first class postal rates-and returned
at the same rate when they are re-
turned. which Is with remarkable
regularity, according to the authors.
1t Is desired to have manuscripts
placed in a different class and obtain
a much lower rate Of postage. Miss
Jessie Griswold. president OF the
local branch of the league, presided
at the meeting with Mrs. Gertrude
Buckingham Thomas as secretary,
and Miss Dora Simpkins reporter.

ANNPENN|NGTON
IS CAPTIVATING

Petite and pretty, Ann Pennington
has already captfvated the followers
of the motion pictures of Honolulu, as
we'll as the entire country, as result
of her sterling work in Susie Snow
flake" the current feature at the Lib.
erty theater. Miss Pennington comes
to the silent drama from the musical
comedy stage and peculiarly OF her
initial offering is that it deals with
musical comedy life, Susie being pic
ture prototype of Miss bennington
herself.
Susie Snowflake, after successful
stage career, returns to her small
town home and with her brings her
Broadway ideas Naturally, the
piouant little dancer meets with dis
favor in the eyes of the stricter men,
bers of the community society, but
she proves that she has lots of real
character and answering loyalty
when put to the crucial test. It is a
clever and clean bill with clever and
able star.

William FARNUM
IN fine SKETCH

William Farnum, hero of photo
dramas innumerable, prime favorite
with the devotees of the canned" art
from coast to coast and from border
to border, is usually one of the best
drawing cards who come to Honolulu.
and the Hawaii theater management
looks with favor upon the appearance
of this William Fox star. But seldom
has Farnum appeared locally in any
thing that is superior to "A Man of
Sorrow" the present Hawaii feature
offering.
Melodrama is the popular diversion
at the Hawaii. William Fox is easily
the leader in melodramatic produc-
tons and William Farnum is we'll to
the lead as star of melodrama. Con-
sequently 1.-The Man of Sorrow
should satisfy almost everyone who
has the Hawaii habit"
The serial, 1.-The Girl and the
Came" which deals with railroads and
railroading to a large extent, is one
of the most fascinating yet shown.

wood. contralto. Miss Lockwood is
well known in California and also on

Her entire program, which will be pub

Indian songs and ballads. and Miss
Lockwood will be dressed in Indian
costume. This unique feature should
attract many.
Quoting from the New York. Musical
Courier:
Miss Lockwood has the divine
spark that makes the true artist. the
real dramatic fire and sense of values,
without which, no matter how lovely
the voice. success is impossible. But
when these are combined with rarely
beautiful voice of much color and the
warmth of a true contralto, the COM
bination spells success. In the costum-
ing and of her program she is anthem
tic and artistic TO a degree.
Tickets are now obtainable at Cum
