BERNARD MAKES
GOOD in HURRY
AS MOVIE STAR

Poor Schmaltz," the vehicle used
by the Famous Players Film Com
pany to introduce Sam Bernard to the
photo-play fans of the world, was
shown for the first time in Honolulu
at the Liberty theater last night. A
typical Liberty audience, which well
filled the big house, greeted Sam,
comedian, judging from his initial Of
fering, who is likely to become equal
ly as popular and famous on the
screen as he has been fer many years
on the speaking stage.
What little plot there is to Poor
Schnaltz" is u3ed merely to accent
uate the eccentricity CT this prince CT
laugh makers Bernard is cast in the
title role, Herman Schmaitz being
German wig maker who manages TO
set into and extricate himself from
prcverbial peck OF trouble with the
utmost ease.
The producers aver that this role
will rank with the popular star 3 great
est comedy creations and be recorded
as one of The foremost trdVesty tTi~

NEXT ||'..| WEEK
Romance of Ireland" One Act
Play, Will Be Staged with
Edna Kelley

Allen Doone, the young American
actor who, is now known as the
Chauncey Olcott of Australia" arrives
tomorrow morning from Sydney on
the Makura, and on Monday evening
will begin an engagement of one week
at the Bijou theater.
Doone is accompanied by the lead
ing woman of his company, Miss Edna
Kelley. Both were here about four
years ago and played to packed
houses for a week. The Hawaiian
trip is vacation for Doone, and after
his Bijou engagement he will travel
to the other islands, see Kilauea and
climb Kaleakala.
His appearance at the Bijou will be
in a one-act Irish sketch called "A
Romance 7 of Ireland" in which Miss
Kelley will assist him. Doone will
sing a number of his famous Irish
melodies, and will play the Irish bag
pipes, which, he says, differ from
Scotch ibagpipes by sounding like two
yowling cats, instead of like only one
The Doone act will follow a one
act musical sketch, THE Tourists"
by the Teal Company. Moving pic
lures will be eliminated from the bill
at the Bijou next week.
Probably Miss Dorothy Harris, a
well known soubrette in the Doone
party. will sing between the acts.

new TEAL SHOW
fine ANTIDOTE
FOR MELANCHOLY
Nifty Costumes, Whisky Songs,
Plus Much Fun, Make Bijou
Laugh Headquarters

Plenty of fun, coolies of whistly
songs and charming new costumes
which made the feminine portion Of
the audience sit up right away and
take notice, featured last nights ini-
tial performance of The Time, the
Place and the Girl at the Bijou
| Raymond Teal and his associates
put the amusing comedy with music
through in breezy, clever style. The
Ducklings were present in eye-filling
quantities, and their songs and dane
es went over" to such an extent that
encores were the rule rather than the
exception.
1t is leap-year, and The Time, the
Place and the Girl" must have been
designed in view of that fact. The
plot is complicated to a fascinating
degree, but everything ends happily
and the men win the girls their hearts
are set on. -. '
Homer Long started the applause
with his song, BLOW the Smoke
Away" He gained a couple of en-
cores. Pansy De Lacour followed it
up with a snappy rag, "He Winked
At Me-" and from the encores she
received the bald-headed row must
have done it, too.
Get Three Encores. .....
LIE Roy Kinslow pranced through
novelty song, Jonah Day." in a
mile-a-minute manner, but the aud
fence wouldn't let him go with one
encore. Hazel Lake really sang
Don't You Tell l Told You So with
Homer Long helping her not to tell.
The audience wouldn't let the show
proceed until after three encores.
When Madeline Rowe sang Honey
moon" she captivated the audience.
This song has refrain of the type
described as haunting" and Miss
Rowe sang it as it should be sung.
A great deal of the productions
wholesome fun was contributed by
Claude Kelly, whose "'rube" character
ization was one Of the rib-tickling
parts of the show. He was the best
example of stage "hick" seen here in
many moons, and his singing and
dancing in Down Home Rag" awak-
ened applause which probably was
heard half way to Waikiki.
The show is clean, clever and, fine
'ly staged. 1t should attract capacity
audiences tonight and tomorrow be-
cause it's an effective antidote for the
blues. .... ......:. r.

Paris, Dec. 16.--One hundred
thousand men, under Gen. Mangin,
participated in an assault which yes
terday resulted in the French ad-
vancing two miles on a siX-mile front
at Verdun. 1t was planned by Gen.
Nivelle, who has just been made
cOmmanderin-chief
Latest advices Indicated that near
ly 5000 prisoners were taken. Gen.
Niyelle had been preparing for the
attack ever since the last great
stroke, which recovered much lost
territory 1t is believed the Germans
diNnt expect the attack because of
wes, misty weather.
Terrific artillery preparation fat
tened German defenses before the
attack, then artillery threw curtain
OF steel back of the German trenches
forwt rd from Pepper Hill to beyond
Damloup.
Tho Germans fought determinedly
at places, but, as Nivelle's disposi-
tions We're well made, they were gem
orally towerless to stem the tide,
even momentarily. One after ano-
ther, VaNherauville and Louvemont
villages, Chambrette farm and Har-
daumont aud BesonvauX works, fell
without ths defenders having time
to carry away guns or material.
After the Fr.och took Vacherau-
vile and Pepper IIill, the Germans
started an orderly retreat. The
French soon appearedTn the rear on
the Vacherauville-Beau road,
however, and the Germans bolted,
throwing away rifles, knapsacks and
pouches. Soon afterward troops
which took Pepper Hill we're Joined
by formations, which started from
Haudremont wood. Louvemont was
stormed and large number Of pris-
oners taken. The French then push
ed on past Handremont works to
BezOnvaux, where the advance ended.
Germans Fought Desperately.
The Germans fought desperately.
Eighty captured canon were counted
