CAST MAKES FOR
PLAYS SUCCESS

A strange story, beautifully told and
acted, is written into the feature Of
fering now showing at the Hawai-:
theater, "Dr. Rameau" Originally the
title was given to a novel by Georges
Ohnet, and this lady gained fame
around the world through her work
Realizing the dramatic value of Oh,
Rameau," William Fox, president OF
the Fox Film Corporation, secured the
picture rights and as photo-drama
DR. Rameau" has proved equally sue
cessful as in its previous form.
Much of the credit for the success
of the pietuFiZed version of "Dr.
Rameau" is due to the talented corps
of artists cast in the drama by Fox.
They include, besides the principal
star, Frederick Perry, Jean Sothern,
Stuart Holmes, Dorothy Bernard and
George Alison. Each one fits admir-
ably into the cast and each lends that
personal touch which makes the whole
perfect. Perry has but recently joined
the ranks of picture actors, having
starred in number of recent stage
successes.
The plot of 'Dr. Rameau" is a most

The great drawback 10 the "C0ast-

LIBERTY DRAMA
STIRS AUDIENCE

"The Cheat" the offering at the
Liberty theater for the first half of
the present week, is billed as 'the
most talked of play this year" Such
being the case, it will probably be
more talked of in Honolulu than in
any other place ii has ever been shown
for the reason that it is a most dar-
ing theme, which involves a white
women and Japanese man. 1t might
well be termed a problem" play, and
last night when the ascendency in the
problem" swung towards either the
man or the woman the applause was
most vigorous from the various admir-
ers of either. In the title role Fannie
Ward is excellent, while Sessue Haya-
kawa, the prominent Japanese actor,
is perfection itself. -.
There are several thrilling scenes in
The Cheat notable among which is
that in which the woTan visits the
mans apartments at night to pay-as
he thinks-''the price. for loan of
$4,000 which he has made her. In
reality the woman comes to cheat"
him out of her side o. the bargain"
and to repay the money. The man be-
comes Infatuated and literally tears
the woman's clothes from her shout
ders, hauling her around by the hair
of her head and branding fler on the
shoulder with white-hot iron-he
brand being his private Japanese
mark. The woman seizes gun and
shoots the man. Her husband appears
on the scene shortly afterwards, finds

schools have conferred with members OF
Congress regarding a movement to IN

with the policemen and firemen. are ex-
cluded from the proposed measures Wnicn
would increase salaries OF government

The janitors say that they must have
special qualifications for service, includ-
ing a knowledge OF steam engineering.
Despite this, they say that their salaries
are little higher than the District pays
for unslilled labor
Special attention has been called to the
pay Of janitors' helpers, classed as labor
ers, who receive IS and so a month. The
laborers under direct employment Of the
District receive $55.
Last year the janitors received In

CARD GAMES ARE NOT
CHRISTIAN, SAYS divine
Rev.. John Campbell Ball Decries the
Cheapening of Spiritual Life.

"A Christian cannot paste the portrait
OF Jesus on the back OF the ace Of clubs
and call It a Christian game" said
Rev. John Campbell Ball, pastor of the
Metropolitan Baptist Church, preaching
on How Good Should a Man be to be
a Good Christian" yesterday.
The Christian cannot dovetail the play
house and the prayer meeting; must be
good enough to have his religion in his
own name; to be fruitful and not fitful;
gospelful and not gossipful: faithful and
not fateful. He must aim to bless rather
than bruise and grow in grace and not in
disgrace. He must serve his fellows
from missionary and not a mercenary
motive. said Mr.. Ball.
One of the great dangers of church life
Is the danger Of over emphasizing the
social and oheapening the spiritual, he
continued There is too much talk and
too little prayer, he said.
