EMPIRE.

Sessue Hayakawa, the noted Jap
 anese actor will be seen in one of the
 most unusual photodramatic produc- tions ever presented on the screen, namely screen adaptation of Rob-
 ert Louis Stevenson's famous Hawai- ian story "The Bottle Imp' which
 will be seen at the Empire today and tomorrow. This thrilling drama was adapted for the screen by Charles Maigne, and produced under the di-
 rection of Marshall Neilan. | MT. Hayakawa has been seen as a Japanese, Chinese and Hindu but this is the first time he has ever appeared as Hawaiian and in the role of the poor fisherman he plays one of the
 most unusual and best characteriza- tions of his career
 The story of '"The Bottle Imp" has to do with the adventures of a poor fisherman, Lopaka, who seeks a girl of royal blood as his wife The Bot 1 tie grants every wish but yet has a terrible menace. The entire story is
 filled with unusual and startling in- cidents. The majority of the scenes were taken in the same localities about which the story was laid, the Lasky Company sending the star and
 his company to Hawaii for that pur- pes.
 MT. Hayakawas leading woman, Le- hua Waipahu, is descendant of 1 Queen Liliuokalani and is one of the | most talented amateur actresses on l the island. Many of the scenes are 1 filmed on the famous Hawaiian es- tate.
 MT. Hayakawa had a thrilling bat
 tie on the top of a cliff and falls into

PLAZA

'fMcst entertaining from start to fin- ish,' is our opinion of the show that MT. Plaza offered his patrons last eve- ming and we believe our judgment voices the Iecisoin of the ma fority of the crowds that witnessed the first night performance.
 We were especially enthusiastic over the musical extravaganza (with apol- ogies to the press agent for the latter word) which was titled "The Dream Garden and which requires the ser vices of sextet of cha rTning and gifted female instrumenta'ists. They employed a variety of instruments 8 with pleasing effect and the spectacu- lar scenic and electrical investiture V as admirable and appropriate.
 The Four Haynakers won us from the start, that is. their style of sing ing together with their ability to sing formed combination that entertaine d Us to the utmost. The ensemble har- mony was rare and we app1auded heartily, as critics seldom do

MILLIONAIRE IS OVER ACE, BUT
 WILL SERVE US.

Years had whitened his hair and written their record in his face yet they had but added to his spirit which
 was aflame with love of his country l and tlle desire to serve it. From: the federal building to The Stratfield and back again he followed Oh foot the officer at the head of the enroll | ing board of the Naval Reserve force, seeking a moment of privacy with him.
 1T want to enlist" he enthusiastic' ally told him when at last this was 1 procured, 'I'll go in any rating, I'll :. do anything you want me to. l know you have something I can do. but en- roll me right away. You see, l have , two sons in college" he explained
 proudly, "and they're trying hard to get into something and I want to get ahead of them.''
 May I ask how old you are?" the
 officer questioned kindly. l "Sixty-one,'' was the answer. l 'I'm sorry" he said, 'but that is three years above tho age limit" l The man turned away. It was
 more than disappointment which dropped his face and sagged his shoulders as he slowly withdrew down the corridor. It was the shat tering of something very vital to him. l But in a little while he was back again
 "I'm going to do something after all" he said, a remnent of his former enthusiasm quickening his voice, I'm going to put my seven passenger car at your disposal You're to use it whenever you want it and I'm going
 to drive it myself. I'm going to turn
 over my house to you to. It's out in l-mentioning. a suburb-and you
 may use it yourself and quarter any men there that you wish.'' The young officer was deeply touched at this un- usual show of patriotism and thank l ed the older man sincerely for the of fer. The man is one of the wealthf- est residents of this section of Con- ltecticut.
 A workman came, his wife and two young children dependent upon him,
 and the little home for which he had saved many years, still bearing it's
 burden of mortgage, yet he was one
 of the first in Bridgeport to offer his
 services to his country.
 l He came into the headquarters in I the Federal building and made out his | pre-enrollment papers.
 | The OIf1cer Tn command QueSt1OneO him, as is the custom with all appli-
 cants. He was very eager to enroll. He was asked of his work ana h.s wages and he told of them. He had 1 two children, and their mother to supp port. And then it came out that he
 still owed the greater part of the cost
 of his home in mortgage: The of-
 ficer asked him how his family would get along if he was taken to war
 and he said that they had talked it
 over and decided that he should do 1 his bit for his country and that his ! wife and the children would go to i live with her people.
 1 But what of your home?" asked 1 the officer. / l He thought a moment. hesitated and said, "Oh, we'll, I guess that'll have to go." For a moment the of- ficer caught glimmering of the true
 spirit of patriotism. But he was turned down, not because he was in- capable, not because of any physical
 disability, but because his. babies
 needed him even more than Uncle l Sam.

Urge Workmen To
 Unite Against Kings

Petrograd. March 30.-An appeal to the workmen of the German and Aus trian coalition to rise against the inn perial authority and to establish their freedom, says the Petrograd Tele- graph Agency (the Russian official news agency) was launched at a mass meeting of workmen, soldiers and deputies held yesterday at the dun1a.
 The appeal was directed to the proletariat of the whole world, but it especially designates the Central pow CTS, urging the workmen of those countries to 'throw off the yoke or autocratic rule as the Russian peo- pie have overthrown the imperial autocrat, and refuse to serve longer as an instrument in the hands Of kings, capitalists and bankers
 By a united effort, the appeal de- clares, i've can stop this awful mur- der which is the shame of humanity.

 With the exception of Guy Oliver who plays the role of the drunken sailor the entire company is composed of either Japanese or Hawaiian play CTS.

HISTORY MAKING
 AWAKENING OF
 ARABS FoRESEEN
Great Intellectual Move ment Is Predicted Which Will Prove Boon to
 Dark Asia.

t
 London. March 30.-It is generally s--ssssved Tn England that the close of the war will see the reorganization government, known as Arabistan with the capital in Mecca, and governing a territory about the size of India. Reuters Agency sends out a dispatch which may be taken to summarize British official opinion on the Ara bian question. It says:
 The Arab race is beginning not only to awake but to coalesce. We are on the verge of one of those great Arab intellectual movements which have been turning point in the his- tory of the past both in, Asia and Eur ope.
 '"The Arabs cannot be expected, af- ter being the victims of studied dis integration for 500 years, to have a strong national sense according to European standards, but a sense of race and a desire for independence is growing, This feeling constitutes a menacing factor from the standpoint of the Central Powers, and an im- mense asset from the standpoint of the Entente.
 "For 800 years it has been the pol icy of the Turkish rulers of the Arab people to stimulate tribal, municipal, and political feuds, to support one faction against another and thus hold the people in subjection. During this period, while Arab vitality and intel lect have remained undamaged, the lands Inhabited by the Arabs, once countries of civilization. progress and culture, have become wastes and an agglomeration of ruins.
 The whole situation is now chang ing, and old religious and tribal feds are dying down rapidly. Tn Syria there is a sense of unity and brother hood among tn eArab speaking pco- ples such as has not existed since Tur- kish domination was first inflicted on the country
 Two recent occurrences have done much to promote this feeling of unity. One is Djema1 Pasha's reign of ter TOT at Damascus, which has brought suffering and death into the nob1est of the princely families. The other is the. action of the Sheref of Mecca and his followers in proclaiming theft in- dependence. The 1Sheref has taken the title of King of the Dedjaz. ! Since the proclamation of his kingship, King Hussan has formed al- dances with the other important in- dependent rulers of Arabia, and wherever these alliances reach, the Turk rules no more. The territory thus divorced from Turkish rule cov- CTS a space nearly as large as India. In the United States and South America there are many Arabs, and they have there proved themselves the moral and intellectual equal of the Concession. The great driving force of Arab raciaIism gives grounds for hopes of an independent Arabis tan, which assisted by kinsmen in America should have all the essen tials of progress and stability"
