WIRELESS FOR SCHOOL.

Preparedness has been felt in the school department and as result the pupils of the Vocational High. school are to be taught the rudiments of wireless teleeraphy. As young men with knewlodge of wireless are at a premium it is seen that the move is one backed by good common sense. One of the instructors, who is we'll versed in the subject, will set up the wireless when 1t is received but until such a time as the government re- scinds the order that private parties must not use wireless instruments until the international crisis is passed, the parts will be the only thing ex- plained. When the right time comes they will be made acquainted with the workings of the instruments.

The Squaw Mans Son." written as
a sequal to the great drama, "The
Squaw Man." that was seen here some
time ago; is the feature attraction of
the new bill at the Liberty theater.
The picture is a gripping photo-play
full of life and action from beginning
to end, and ranks we'll with the orig.
inal story which was one of the most
successful ever put on the screen. 1t
is another Paramount production.
The story centers about Lord Effing-
ton, the Little Hal of The Squaw
Man." and the leading part is played
by Wallace Reid whose qualities as
an actor of dramatic power are we'll
known to Honolulu theater goers. In
the production the star is supported
by an excellent cast which includes a
number of famous names, among them
Anita King and Dorothy Davenport A
fact that is not generally known is
that Dorothy Davenport of the picture
in real life IS Mrs. Wallace Reid.
In addition to the feature picture.
the new instalment of the Billie Burke
serial, 'Gloria's Romance" carries
that interesting narrative forward
through a series of pleasing scenes.
The weekly Pathe news pictures also
are part of the program.

Well he is here and an adjutant in

quite chat every evening and he
says that he is going to make a pleas
ure trip to the islands after the war.

as We are we'll Quartered we do not
mind 1t in the least, with the excep-
ton of the early morning rising part.

SURAT7 STARS
INNOTED DRAMA

Valeska Suratt, who has hosts OF
admirers among Honolulu theater-go
ers, never before played to such ad'
vantage as in the William Fox pictur'
ization of Rider Haggard's celebrated
novel, She" which is the main at,
traction of the present program at the
Hawaii theater. Notices that heralded
the picture as one of the greatest pro
ductions ever presented by the Fox
studios have been found to be fully
warranted by the quality of the pro
duction.
AS a novel She" long since became
world famous after it had been trans.
lated into every civilized tongue. All
of the great qualities OF the story are
retained in its screen version and in
the part of "She-Who-Must Be-Obey-
ed" it may be said that Miss Suratt
rises to new heights.
In lighter mood Charlie Chaplin S
absurd picture, "One A. M" held
over from the early part of the week,
is a decided hit. Chaplin is the only
figure on the screen throughout the
picture, but he holds the interest OF
all in portraying the experiences Of a
man who arrives home in the early
hours Slightly spifflicated." It's a
riot.
Included in the program is the be-
ginning Of a new red-blooded serial
of adventure that few will want to
miss. 1t is called The Fighting

LIFE FOR JOAN

What an inspiration, Joan OF Arc,
the martyred maid OF Orleans is TO
the French poilus, may be CLEANED
from witnessing the production now
showing at the Bijou, featuring Ger
aldine Farrar in Joan the Woman" "
The story opens with a trench
scene somewhere" in France with
the British commander calling for a
volunteer to bomb a German trench,
feat which, If successful. means GER
tain death. A young lieutenant re-
turning to his dugout after hearing
the call. discovers a rusty old French
sword imbedded in the earth. He
pulls it out and examines it and then
drops off to sleep. The memory OF
the sword comes to him in sleep and
harks back to the days Of Charles
VII and the Maid of Orleans. Pictur-
ing himself as Count Eric, an Eng
lish commander, the whole story OF
Joan of Arc is pictured.
Awakening the young lieutenant
finds himself so imbued with the
spirit of self-sacrifice as represented
by Joan, and SO eager to make some
remedy for the wrongs done her by
his countrynen in the days Of old,
that he insists on the assignment
which means death.
The battlefield scene at night,
showing the German searchlights
playing on the dead, is wonderfully
striking Darling in and out among
the dead and wounded the British
Tommy makes progress but finally
the Boche searchlight spots Hm and
the next instant a dozen bullets
bring him to earth. AS he dies the
spirit Of Joan of Arc is seen solaciIg
him who had sacrificed life in repair

side of a better Honolulu" when he
sentenced Juana Rivera, arrested on
a charge of vagrancy, to six months in

remarking that she had just as soon

In that case," said Judge Irwin,

The judge then went on to say that
all future cases will be similarly dealt
with.
