SHUTTING DOWN THE
LID TIGHTER ON GRAFT

Paris, Jan. 29.-Gen. Gallieni,
the war lord of Paris, is shutting
down the lid tighter and tighter on
graft. His latest decree prohibits
officers of the army from filling both
a military and civil function The
order is a side issue of the Dalbiez
law, which DEGREES that every
Frenchman should be serving his
country in the way that he is best
fitted, but it has brought confusion
among the directors of three of the
state subventioned theaters. Thus
Thespis, like Mars, is mobilized in
Paris.

ACCORDING POLITICAL
RIGHTS TO DUTCH WOMEN

The Hagusg Jan. ga step in
the direction of according political
rights to Dutch women is taken in
a bill to amend the Netherlands

The veiled threat of the Pacific
States Lawn Tennis Association to
break away from the National Asso-
citation and establish a rival organ
ization, has aroused considerable
feeling amons the members of the
parent body anu he coming annual
meeting is likely to bring forth some
frank expressions of opinion upon
the subject. The controversy comes
at particularly inopportune time
since the U. S. N. l.. T. A. has
gone on record as favoring the rails

gested by the recent conference of
sport governing bodies In this city
under the auspi es of the /. C. A.

Fortunately tennis has reached a
point in popular interest in this
country where action of any group
or even a national governing body
will have little effect, if any, upon
the game itself or the thousands OF
players who participate in the sport
for the pleasure and exercise that
tennis gives. Tournaments and tour
nament players will be the sufferers
and a split will have the effect of
curtailing the entries and the CLAM
or of intersectional and all-star
court battles.
With the possibility of interna-
tional or Davis cup matches out of

NATIONAL SHOW
fine SURPRISE
Two Hiqh Class Vaudeville Acts
and Fine Films at Hotel St.
Theater Opening

One of the theatrical surprises of
the month was the high standard
which p. j. Byrne set for the new Ma
tional theater with his first show last
Saturday night In the crowd that
filed the small playhouse TO capacity
comment was generally expressed
that If the proprietor can maintain
the high level this first show has fixed
he should achieve a success limited
only by the seating space of his build
Ing.
First. il appeared on opening night
that Mr.. Byrne is seeking to create
an atmosphere of refinement which
will appeal TO the fastidious as well
as ordinary mortals Two demure
part-Hawaiian girls in dainty frocks
of black and white, serving as ushers.
helped some in the effect. These, by
the way, are an innovation here,
though feminine ushers are employed
very successfully in a few cities on
the coast and quite generally in mo-
ton picture houses throughout Aus
tralia.
Mr.. Byrne also has good orchestra,
new motion picture machine, and
has dressed his establishment nicely
and in good taste.
Good Vaudeville Acts.
But by far the big feature is the
show itself. Herbert Winter, comical
English monologist presents a high
class act. 1t, like all the rest of the
bill, is clean, and his dry humor kept
his auditors chuekling throughout his
turn" The Musical Goolmans wrnng
some remarkably beautiful strains
from weird and unusual Instruments
to such success that at the end. they
were recalled four times, finally stop
ping from sheer exhaustion.
OF the film features 1t can be said
safely that no better or higher class
drama has been shown in Honolulu
than The District Attorney" drama
tization Of Charles Klein's big play.
And j. Rufus Wallingford, the new
serial, is brilliant. A third film was
shown, but II any criticism of the en-
tire program can be made il is that
this should have been eliminated. 1t
not only did not fit with the other
high class acts but it made the show
longer than performances OF the kind
should be.
The same program will be shown
tonight and tomorrow night

Despite the seeming indifference Of
Honolulu To the very good grand
opera being presented here, the De
Folco Grand Opera Company is going
bravely ahead with plans for the sec
ond week OF the engagement, during
which a more richly varied repertoire
than that OF last week will be offered.
la Gioconda," the bin for tonight,
will be an even more ambitious and
elaborate performance than was
Aida" last Monday at the opening OF
the season. Madame Vergeri is to
sing the title role, and the cast will
include other principals who have won
high favor here
Tomorrow night Faust" will be pre-
scented, with Kristoffy as Marguerite,
Wanrell as Mephistopheles, and either
de Folco or Poggi as Faust This will
be followed. Wednesday by "cavalleria

Thursday by a repetition of tonight's
opera and cast; Friday, la Tosca"

No Poor Performances.
Though the De Folco company has
not given one poor performance In Ho-
nolulu, the public continues apathetic.

audiences last week Saturdays

peated ia Traviata," drew only a
corporals guard. and Saturday night,
when Kristoffy sang second time in
aida" there we're only SIS people
downstairs, and proportionate hand
full In the balcony and gallery.
A. l.. Benson, Signor de Folco's Sec
rotary, has been at several Of the
schools and colleges in the city, and
has aroused great interest by his talks
on operas. and the offering Of special
students rate tickets in book form
for several operas. IL is understood
that several hundred of these have
been disposed Of, and that a realiza-
ton of the educational value of opera
may lead to an even larger attend
ance from schools In Honolulu.
Aida" went well Saturday evening
so well that the very small audi
ence raised several storms of APP
plause which. by the sound. might
have come from a packed house.
Late Arrivals Seated.
Several minor Incidents were to be
regretted, notably the seating of about
eight late arrivals during Kristoffy's
first big aria when she had the stage
70 herself In the first act, and the fact
that two members Of the organization
walked back and forth on the left side
aisle during Kristoffy's big aria in act
three. Also q small corsage bouquet
for the prima donna was not given to
her when she responded to encores,
but was pitched unceremoniously on to
the floor OF the stage during a crowd
ed ensemble

viously In these columns. Surely the
management can restrict all coming
and going TO the periods between acts.
De Folcos continued absence from
the stage is matter of keen regret
to those who heard the tenor when
he was here with the Lambardi COM
pany three years ago, and to those
who listened to his fine singing as
Rhadames last Monday. 1t is to be
hoped that he will soon be in condi-
ton to resume the handling of his
roles. Luigi Poggi, meanwhile. has
been doing valiant service, and has
