These are only a few of sensational

on the telephone and talked to her,
Miss Stewart declares in her petition.

HERE is "THE REASON
Hawaiian Fever in U. S. Caused by
Bird of Paradise Show.

In view of the remarkG BILE popular
ity enjoyed by the Hawaiian fad, when
once the music and picturesque cos
tunes of the islanders were introduced
into the East, it seems strange that
Richard Walton Tully, author of THE
Bird of Paradise" should have gone
so long without realizing what a SUI
perabundance of play material he had
right at his feet for so many years.
Undoubtedly, Mr.. Tully's play, The
Bird of Paradise" has been RESPONSE
BILE for the American invasion of Ha-
waiian musicians. Turnout the East
there has been an epidemic of Ha-
waiian songs, embracing all classes of
music from the dreamy Aloha" to the
synSOpated Bill Bailey and His Uku-
lele" and many other popular melo-
dies.
Seldom has it been known that a
dramatic play was the actual cause
of the biggest musical fad known in
years, but that is unquestionably true
in the case of THE Bird of Para disc"
Seven years ago when THE Bird of
Paradise" was first produced at the
Belasco theater, Los Angeles, by Oil
yer. Morosco, Mr.. Tully brought over
from the islands five of the native
singing boys. They were introduced
in the play to give it the proper at
mOspherie effect.
Hawaiian singers and ukulele play
ers were no novelty at that time in
Los Angeles, San Francisco and other
Pacific coast cities accustomed as they
were to visits of cosmopolitan crowds
| from everywhere. When Mr. Morosco
produced the play in Los Angeles the
native Hawaiians in the cast created
no great excitement in that city.
However, when Mr.. Morosco sent
THE Bird of Paradise" to New York
and later to Chicago, a different story
was recorded. The eastern people be-
gan to grow fond of the dreamy, Ian
guorous music of, the tropics. The
cabarets. always alert for something
new from the legitimate stage, grasped
the idea eagerly. This attraction plays
