E. Il. SOTHERN in
ROMANTIC DRAMA

= IAN enemy to the King" one Of the
most popular of the many romantic
plays produced on the stage, is also
one of the best of the many romantic
themes that have been made subjects
for the camera. At the Bijou theater
last evening this offering was given
its local premier and the consensus
of opinion of the audience appears to
be that it Is one of the finest photo
plays ever seen in Honolulu.
: One of the reasons for the strength
of the offering Is the co-stars. E. H.
Sothern is too well known by reputa,
ton at least to call for any irtroduc-
ton to the followers Of matters dra-
matte. It would be difficult to find a
more able or popular man on any
stage in any country. Sothern has
the leading male role. Edith Billy :
Storey has the leading feminine role
and was chosen for Sotherf1's leading
lady for her histrionjc ability, EVIL
deneed in her many appearances be-
fore the camera ind on the speaking
stage At the age Of "a she has spent
more than fifteen years in the profes
sion and has essayed all sorts and
varieties of roles. -. =,
The Bijou theater should be packed
to the doors during the remainder of
the appearance OF IAN Enemy to the
King" as the offering is worth while,
the scenic effects are unusual. tho
costuming beyond the average and the
acting the best possible.

MOORE
Team A WINNER

While 1t Is usually proper to men
ton the lady, first where starring
honofs are divided between man and
woman there are times when the
mere male is entitled to first hon.
ors. Such case is in point at the
Liberty theater in "A Girl Like That,
Owen Moore and Irene Fenwick ap-
pearing In the leading roles.
Miss Fenwick is delightfully."- clever
in the role Of the daughter of a crook.
Owen Moore has collected not a little
fame through being the husband of
Mary Pickford. As a photoplay star
his great prominence has come
through his wife and it has taken hard
work for the artist to secure popu-
larity through his own native ability.
But Owen Moore has arrived. As Jim
Brooks, cashier, OF the little bank, in
the little Indiana town Of Wheaton, he
has role that calls for a nervous,
bashful young man and for a line of
natural comedy that but few actors
can deliver.
Pearl White in Pearl Of the Army"
performs some stunts in the present
episode that are characteristic of this
actress. A few rough and tumble
scraps, q submarine trip in q diving
suit are ali in the days work with
Pearl. She is well worth seeing.
