MAUI NAY SECURE
COUNTY AGENT TO
AID AGRICULTURE
tspeeial stan. BuIistin Correspondence

Especial star. Bulletin coFTespondenes.l
WATLUKU, May S.-The Maui
County Fair and Racing Association
may stand sponso. for a county agent
for Maui. The suggestion was brought
forward by L. r. Mathews on Tues
day afternoon at a meeting OF the
directors OF the association and eK.
cited much interest and favorable
comment. Mr.. Mathews was author
lied TO communicate with President
Butterfield Of the Massachusetts, agri-
cultural college to ascertain whether
or not he could recommend q suitable
man for the place should II be de-
c!ded to undertake the proposition. II
was stated that it would be necessary
to raise about $1,000 to cover salary
and travelling expenses Of the right
kind OF man.
Work Of County Agent
The county agent idea has made
great progress throughout the United
States in the past few years The
Job usually requires the services Of
an expert scientific agriculturist with
more than the usual amount OF exeet-
tive ability and tact. He is supposed
to introduce good farming methods
wherever he can, TO help organize,
farmers, help them market their crops,
and aid them in any other possible
way. The Institution has usually been
a great success where a man of the
right qualifications has been secured.
One Of the directors stated that ex-
cept for the uncertainty caused by
war he would be willing to back the
idea for a years trial himself, which
is indicative Of the way the whole
meeting looked at the proposition

"The Girl from Rector's."

"a treat de luxe in five courses
aptly describes "The Girl from Rec
tors" which the Grand will offer as
it's Tuesday attraction. The produc-
ton gives an intimate view of that
world capital Of gay night life, Broad
way, home of the lobster and of that
exotic American delicacy, the chorus
lady. A wonderful picture is shown
Of the midnight revelry OF the
American metropolis. It has never
been so effectively presented as in
"The Girl from Rector's." When one
sees the inside of Reetor's about 2 a.
M, >one has seen something that can
not be duplicated in the civilized
world and is only approached by Sim
sofare's of Monaco and the world
famed Cafe Los Angeles of Buenos
Aires. +Ti.wiiiIkling feet, sparkling
eyes, roguish smiles, tinkling music
and fluffy lingerie characterize "The
Girl from Rector's," which from all
accounts should prove an exception
ALLY popular and entertaining attrac-
ton.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1917-04-28
Castles for Two"

"Castles for Two" which will be
seen at the Grand Wednesday, tells
the story of an American heiress of
great wealth, who becomes tired of
spending money and decides to take
trip to Ireland, in search of the
simple life. Her old nurse is a ma
tive of the land Of Saint Patrick, and
the girl has been brought up on tales
of the little people" that also in
habit the soil.
Once on the other side Patricia, the
heiress, passes her secretary off as
the lady of the dollars, puts on a
peasants frock and goes looking in
the woods for the fays. She finds
them all right, also a cow, and takes
refuge in a tree, from which she is
rescued by povertystricken young
Irish lord, who is being urged on by
his mother and three sisters to marry
the American. Patricia pretends to
be her own maid, and, as Lord O'Neil
refuses to make love to the supposed
heiress, the fairies reward him by
letting the young man win the real
dollar princess.
The need Of the proper cast to in
terpret such story is fully met by
Marie Doro and her fellow-playe
Miss Doro has the looks and manner
of an American princess; and also the
touch of elfishness which goes a great
way in helping one to believe that she
really saw the Irish Robin Goodfel-
low and his small brothers. The
production is, of the Lasky standard.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1917-04-28
"The Mortal Sim"

The soul-stirring story of wlfe,s
sacrifice for her husband IS power,
fully depicted in "The Mortal Sln'
which will be the Sunday offering at
the Grand. A difficult problem IS pre-
sented, in the solution Of which the
author shows that while man may
have wonderfully liberal ana gener-
ous-hearted theories regarding ms at
titude toward his wife under trying
circumstances, those theories crumole
away when confronted by actual con-
ditions.
George Anderson learns that his
wife has become q creature OF "a
wealthy man. She has sacrificed her
self tor the sake of her husband. An
derson is at work on novel when ne
believes will prove masterpiece.
It is to be called "The Mortal Sim"
In the book he deals with the same
problem that afterward contronts
him. He solves the fiction problem
by having the husband forgive the
wife. But, when similar SITUATION
arises in his own life, he puts the
brand of Cain upon himself.
So much for the problem. The
| husband breaches one thing in a book.
He does another in his own life. For
killing his wife he is sentenced to
death. The hour Of his execution APP
proaches. The prison chaplain calls
| him for the march to the Eternal. He
stirs and awakes to realize that the
entire tragedy has been dream. 1t
is a pleasing and powerful finish to a
powerful play.
Viola Dana in the leading role has
splendid opportunities for her emo
tional powers.

The Page Mystery"

An unusually strange and interest
ing story is unfolded in ''The Page
Mystery" which comes to the Grand
next Thursday, with Carlyle Black
well as the star, supported by June
Elvidge and Arthur Ashley. A great
many of the scenes were filmed IN
the Adirondacks in mid-winter, and
are said to be among the most beauti-
full ever projected on screen. One
of the magnificent camps for which
this famous millionaires' playground
is noted was used as the setting for
the interior views, and an exceeding
~ long toboggan slide down which the
players coast is also shown. The
story itself is splendid mystery tale,
and consistently developed
to smashing climax that is utterly
different from the expected.

cellence will be offered. 1t will COM
prise the first showing in this city OF
the official government pictures OF
''The War;" the initial two-reel in
stallment portraying ''The Battle OF
the Somme," and, in addition, the five
part Triangle play, nina, the Flower

filled to the brim with smiles and
chokes and thrills.
The war pictures are controlled by
the Official Government Pictures, Inc,
William K. Vanderbilt, president. In

mammoth fighting machines ever
modified.

CIVILIZATION" SUPREME.
Words Inadequate TO Describe Ence's
Mammoth Film Spectacle.

Civilization" q wonderful exposl-
ton OF the possibilities Of the silent
drama, which was shown at the Gem
Theatre yesterday and will be repeat
ed today, is an imposing spectacle and
carries a message as old as the world
itself. It was written by C. Gardner
Sullivan and produced by Thomas Fl.
Ince. wizard of the screen art. Its
message is to humanity, its theme the
realization of universal peace, and It's
object the betterment Of mankind. 1t
has been described as the greatest
battle drama of all time. 1t is
spectacle for all classes because it is
SO big that it incorporates every ele-
ment of excitement known to the
stage, and at the same time unfoldss
story so simple and yet so vital
that all will appreciate it.
In reviewing this gigantic produc-
ton, the New Orleans Tier. said:
ENTHUSIASTICALLY one of the maste1
pictures of all time, a film that will
! live no matter what the future brings
forth, no matter how many other won
derful pictures may come in its wake.
That, in few words, sums up Civil
zation.' 1t is a production that is I'M
possible to describe, for words can
not reproduce any idea of its signifi-
canoe. You have heard this express
sion used before in connection with
pictures, and it is often true, for the
camera in so many ways surpasses the
spoken word. But it is truer than
ever in this case. There is no series
of sentences that can tell you OF
Civilization. It is picture you
must see for yourself, and picture
YOU should not allow yourself TO miss,
Thousands upon thousands Of peo-
pie were used in this offering, which
was conceived and made under the
personal direction of Thomas Il. lnce,
in our opinion the greatest producer
in the world today. Every one of the
stars of the Ince company, those that
are with him today and those that
have left, are included in the list, the
mere recital of whose names would
occupy almost column of this paper
at is a sermon against the hideous=
ness of war, and the scenes presented
are on a schedule that astonishes.
The modern engines OF destruction
are shown in every deteGnIl There are
the greatest of battle scenes. There
is no definite application in the story
to the present war, but the picture
undertakes to show how the blessings
of peace may be attained without ths
lsacrifce of patriotism.
