Bird'SCarol Program
Very Great Success
Delightful Entertainment Sum
Realized For Belgian Chill
dren'S Nursery

The Birds Christmas Carol, which
was interpreted by local, amateur tai
ent in the Orpheum, Wailuku, Satur-
day afternoon, for the benefit of
Belgian children, drew a full house
and was much enjoyed by all present.
The entertainment was the result of
much study and work, and all of the
participants deserve credit for unusu-
al perseverence-a very large share
rightly belonging to Mrs. T. b. Linton,
the director, who also took the diifi-
cult part of Mrs. Ruggles in the play
Where all did so well, it is difficult
to single out any particular ones for
praise. 1t may be remarked, however,
that the experienced "stagers" in the
list were up to a high mark. OF the
inexperienced "thespianas", Miss
Althea Case, as Carol Bird, meritted
a great deal of praise. Helen How
ell, as element" and Billy White
head as Larry, were, also, quite
pleasing; but the same may be said
of all the Ruggles family
A very good sum was realized, out
of which small expenses will have to
come. The residue. will be forwarded
to Mrs. Emerson, to be added to the
fund for a day nursery in Belgium, to
be contributed by this Territory.
The complete list of participants in
the entertainment is as follows:
Prologue ........... Kathrine Miller
Angel of the Prologue -. Alma Ross

up with her labor memberships until
last night which boosted that dis
trict to the top. Another feaure of
the day was the passing of Wailuku
by Lahaina, the former, which had
held first place for two days, passing
to third on the list. Paia, also, made
big jump and is now closely crowd
ing Wailullu for third place. Gains
were also made in the smaller dis
tricts.
The news last night that Oahu and
Hawaii together had a total of less
than 1900 made Maui's total of
7,776 look good to the workers, and
the latter started out this morning
with a new determination to make
the total 1000, and surely not to
stop below 10000. The Boy Scouts
will be out tomorrow and it is figured
that they will help great deal.
A feaure of the campaign has been
the splendid cooperation of the Jap
anese. When the commander of the
Tokiwa was here he called attention
to the forthcoming Red Cross drive
and intimated to the Japanese of
Maui that they should support it to
the fullest convenient extent. How
much effect this advice had can, of
course, be only conjectured; but GER
tainly there is a wonderful interest
among the Japanese in the cause.
The Japanese papers of Wailuku have,
also, helped very great deal in bring
ing about the splendid results that
are now being realized.
