Easily one Of the best photoplays
seen in Honolulu IN a great many
months is The Right Direction" the
offering at the Liberty theater which
will be shown for the last time to-
night. Vivian Martin, who has proven
worthy successor to the prestige
formerly held by Mary .Pickford with
Honolulu photoplay fans, is seen at
her best in this play and should u
be missed. Little Jack White as

number Of interesting mine scenes,

FRANK MOSS AND
WILLLEWERSTO
GIVE recital

One of the interesting features Of
! the week has been the announcement;
| of a recital by rank Moss and VIII
| Levers at the Lanai theater on the
evening OF Saturday, June 9. 1t has
been several months since Mr.. Moss
! and Mr.. Levers gave similar even
! ing at the now demolished Opera
House, and the great success OF the
! first presentation and the many re
: quests for more have led to the prom
" Use. of the recital a week from Satur
Gay evening.
The Raven" Edgar Allen Poe's
! best known work. will be given by
Mr.. Levers, with Mr.. Moss al the
piano. This arrangement OF the
/ Raven" is set to music by Arthur
Bergh, one OF the best known modern
) American composers, and mas been
used by David Bisphan. the famous
operate singer, in numbe- OF con
cert tours. David Bispham was the
artist at the first public performance
of the composition, several years ago
and was accompanied by the composer
at the piano.
Perhaps of the greatest interest II
Honolulu people will be the SECOND
part Of the program, when The Bal
lad of Reading Gaol" will be inter
preted, with a musical setting com
posed by Mr.. Moss. The composition
has only been finished very recently
and has not yet been heard even BY
the friends of Mr.. Moss and Mr.. Lew
ers. 1t is a setting which harmoniZes
! perfectly with the spirit OF the poem
which is one of the greatest OF mod
ern expressions in the ballad form.
Debussy, who composed some OF the
most famous operas OF the modern
school, uses in his work the same
tonal scale which Mr.. Moss has en-
ployed in the more tragic part of this
| great poem 1t is the whole tone scale,
and the expression of hopelessness
and despair is perfectly brought out
by its use. In the more hopeful parts
of the ballad, and where the religious
feeling is appealed to, the accustomed
| half-tone scale shows forth the con
trast.
Many who have not studied this
! work of the brilliant Englishman do
not realize that it is not all pessimism,
horror and despair, but carries a great
lesson in winged words. More than
that, it was one of the direct causes
Of the beginning of prison reform in
England, which was one of the last
countries to maintain the old medieval
tradition. of the prison as a place In
which no punishment was too severe.
Neglect and maladministration had
combined to make English prisons un-
equalled for misery, and Oscar Wilde's
presentation of the evils Of prison
life in this powerful arraignment gave
a great impetus to the movement for
reform which was then only the dream
of few Utopian souls.
A surprise has been promised at
the close OF the program at Laniakea,
and fuller announcement will be made
later il the plans Of the artists can
be carried out according to present in
dications. This recital is certain to
be one of the interesting artistic
events Of the early summer, presented
as it is by two of the best known of
local artists.

Detroit Tigers Say Drills Hinder
Their Playing.

DETROIT, March 21.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from the training camp of
the Detroit Tigers at WaXahachie, Tex,
state that the Detroit ball players are
in sympathy with a movement started
by fellow athletes to abandon the mill
tary drills they now are receiving. 1t
is understood that the Cleveland club
already has taken such action.
Several Detroit players have claimed
that the drills have caused severe strain
upon muscles not brought in play on
the base ball diamond and that the
work has hindered more than it has
helped their playing.
The local players have been drilling
with bats instead of guns, and it is un-
derstood that this has been unpopular
with them.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 21-Prospects
of Harry Harper being pitching asset
to the Washington club this season

workout here, nearly three weeks ago.
Treatments Harper has been receiving
daily from a local osteopath, together
with some vigorous massaging by
Trainer Mike Martin and nightly ap-
plication of hot and cold congresses,
have had beneficial effect on his
shoulder. Harper today said the sharp
pains he formerly felt in his shoulder
when throwing have disappeared He
says his arm feels quite sore from the
shoulder to the elbow, and that it is
noticeably weak. but thinks he can
work the soreness out and gradually
strengthen his arm He is much en-
couraged over the way it is mending
and believes if the Improvement con-
tinues he will be in form to take his
regular turn on the rubber by the
time the season opens. He took his
last osteopathic treatment today.
If nothing develops by tomorrow aft

arm Harper probably will be taken
