The bird Of Paradise"

Seldom does a play. especially a
drama. play overtime in any large
cities. and II II does. there must be
something especially pleasing 10 the
theatsrgoers. and this is the case
with Richard Walton Tully's mystic
play OF Hawaii. The Bird OF Para
disc" which comes TO the Rourke
Theater on Friday night. December
22d. This is the first time here and
the sixth road season.
Mr.. Tully seems TO have struck n
popular vein In his story OF the pa
,hetic little Hawaiian princess. Luz
ana, who meets an American, with
whom she falls In love and they
eventually marry. She then learns.
like many before her. that marriage
between the dark-skinned race and
the white, Is seldom OF lasting ma
ture. and when cast aside by her
white husband. she returns TO her
people and makes PREPARATION by sac
rificing herself to the Goddess Pele
TO save her people from the yolca-
nos wrath. He also tells another
story which deals with drunken
beaeh-eombcr. who has sunken as
low as a man can sink through drink
but Is brought back to the light"
through the good influence OF an
American riri. and they 10 out into
the world happy in each Others love.
These four people form the main
theme OF the play. but they are sur
rounded by both American and ma
tive characters that help 10 form
a pleasing dramatic background.
Curtain will rise promptly at
s;l5. Seats are now on sale at the
