cording to the statement Of the Athte-

This season Schang, who. by the way,
is one of the best receivers in the
business, will be stationed behind the
plate, and Mack has picked up good
catcher in Perkins, who will succeed
Lapp. There are several other re-
cruits around the camp and one OF
them may be kept on the payroll.

Cleo Ridglcy aid Marjorie Daw. in

OBrian and Nora OBrian in The
! Chorus Lady" are proving a popular
pair of artists at the Liberty theater,
| where they will he seen for the last
time at the performance Of this even
ing. Both of these actresses have
been seen in Honolulu at the Liberty
| theater in Paramount pictures on pre-
vious occasions, and each has scored
big success The former is best
remembered for her sterling work in
the leading feminine role of "Hypo-
critics"
In The Chorus Lady" the vehicle
in which Rose Stahl starred for a
number of seasons and one of the
most popular cOmedy-dramas ever
staged, the title role allows Miss
Ridgley a splendid opportunity.
The little chorus girl, large of heart
and sharp of tongue, is ever on the
defensive and endeavors to keep her
little sister from a life behind the
scenes. Nora, however, is 3elfwilled
and heeds not the warning Of >atfi-
eia's experience. Her trip upon the
boards is a big lesson and human ex-
ample to the thousands of stage
struck girls throughout the country.
The story of life behind the foot
lights ever holds a deep interest for
the theater-goer. The glimpse behind
the curtain in this offering is particu-
larly instructive and pleasing.
Neal Of the Navy is thrilling and
presages a most successful finale for
hero and heroine.
