Prologue Spirit Fine Feature.
A revival OF the early Hawaiian pc
riod to the coming of the missiunar-
les was depicted In a prologue with
which the pageant action began. The
prologue spirit, depicting the spirit Of
education, was ably represented by
Miss Ethel NJ. Damon In this cpl

him the great Kapunahou lands. Then

Following the distribution of the
lands came the period Of 1920, which
was of historic Importance because Of
the fact that, in that year, the pioneer
missionaries arrived in Hawaii TO be-
gin their monumental work OF pro-
mitigating Christianity throughout the
islands. This episode was. enacted
chiefly in pantomirne, and showed the
effect produced by the appearance Of
the missionaries who were the first
white men to bring their wives with
them 20 the islands
The third episode depicted the
transaction which finally, in later
years, led to the opportunity for
