Glr's pay more attention to
your character and not so much
to your outward beauty. and be
sure to have no boys agoing with
you until YOU have nodded a
character that nothing that this
old word can give will ever take
that from you. for if you do not
do this and commence keeping
company with boys before you
are old enough to realize the true

TRIGGERS are today spreading
the word that My Honolulu Girl
AZ the Hippodrome is the biggest thing
that was ever put on the Hippodrome
stage, for yesterday more than that
number laughed themselves seasick
and applauded till their hands gave
out as number after number and scene
after scene was flashed on them and
each one better and bigger and jinglier
than the other one.
With four comedians, any one OF
them good enough to make an ordi-
nary show, hard at work all the time;
with big chorus that filled the stage
and could sing and dance like house
atire; with the Honolulu Girl singing
her numbers in way that Just made
your heart ache, and the Hawaiian
guitars a playin' of stage accompany
ing every number, and the Hull Hull
dancing and crazy, killing caperings Of
little Alice Berry as Ina Mutt. and the
--the-just every thing else YOU have
ever dreamed you would see in mu-
steal comedy in Fairmont and meyer
did before.
Yesterday afternoon the house was
packed TO the doors half an hour be.
fore time for the matinee and fully
two hundred people were turned away.
Inez Rodriguez. as the Hawaiian
heiress, is clever little singer as is
Bella Belmont, although Bella is not
quite so little. Alice Berry had the
house by the ears when she sang
Shooting the Bull Around the Bulle-
tin Boards" and her imitation OF Grand
Opera, while not new idea, was done
so cleverly and such a twist was put
into it that 1t was one OF the funniest
things of the show.

was the star comedy man, with Bert

wailan guitar players were encored
again and again and are real features

So says Leopold Wharton, OF
Wharton, Inc. producer of "Patria. !"
which under the Pathe banner, will
be shown at the Dixie theater here
according to an announcement Just
issued.
THE film 'Patria' presents an ex-
ccptional story.
The time has come In the picture
world when the public demands a
good story. In 'Patria,' for example
we have taken more tim in It's pro-
duction than we have ever been
able to do before. 1t was taken in
Ithica. in Washington, New York.
and California.
I'm 'Patria.' Mrs. Vernon Castle
has shown exceptional cleverness and
versatility. She insists on doing all
the hazardous stunts herself, and will
permit no double doing the things
that look so perilous on the screen.
She takes the thirty-five foot dive
into the Atlantic, and she falls from
her horse just as she does the many
other hair-raising things that one
sees in the picture.
'Patria' has many remarkable
scenes. In one of them the foreign
and Japanese conspirators start a
car of dynamite that has been on a
siding toward the munitions factory.
The heroine. partrayed by Mrs. Cas-
tle starts to thwart their plans. She
jumps into her automobile, races the
car until she is ahead of it, runs
Ter car across the track and leaves
1t there. She jumps behind a tree
for safety, while the concussion be-
tween the car and the automobile
causes the terrible explosion. And
it is real explosion and real car.
