OPERA HOUSE
UNDER
new MANAGEMENT

Having assumed the manage
ment of the Opera Housein this
city we extend our heartiest
greetings to all our new friends,
and we hope to become speedily
acquainted with each and every.
one. With many needed i'm.
'provements we intend making
this house one which you will
be proud to call your own and
which you can with pride recon-
mend to your out-of-town visitors.
In few days we will have in
stalled new furnaces for steam
heating, and a complete new set
of scenery, including a screen
for the stage, increasing the at
tractiveness throughout.
For your approval, we propose
presenting at least once a week,
the best theatrical attraction of
the New York circuit. And with
the high class pictures which we
will use we are confident you
will be pleased with our efforts.

MANY MILLIONS CANNOT READ
onATenth Of Population Of the United
States Over Ten Years Are
llllterate.

according to the best estimates"
says writer In Eyerybody's for July,
"about 100000, or more than one
tenth Of our population over ten years
old, cannot read or write English-a
number greater than the whole popu.
lation Of Canada; greater than the
whole population Of the South In the
Civil war; greater than the combined
populations Of is Of our states. And
Of this number, fully half can neither
read. write nor speak English. In
some cities, such as Passaic, N. J., or
Fall River, Mass, these strangers num-
Der a sixth or more Of the population.
If this enormous population, alien
in speech or literature or custom, were
merely a population, merely living
among us, that would be one thing to
think about. But all of this 10000
600 are also working among us, trying
to build some kind Of life for them
selves. And in 80 doing, they have
brought themselves into a closer re-
lationship with us than we are often
willing to admit, even IL we are aware
Of 1t. More than SO per cent of the
people who make our steel and iron,
more than " per cent Of those who
make our clothes, more than s. per
cent Of those who refine our sugar,
are foreign-born. And nearly all Of
them cannot read or write English,
and at least quarter Of them cannot
read or write their own language. Six
hundred and twenty thousand Of the
million who mine our coal are foreign
born, and 465,000 Of these come from
non-English-speaking races, with but
the slightest ability. IL any, to read the
English language"

The idol is supposed to be that of XII
hawahine, the Undine Of Maui myths.
Her haunts are the springs at Pauku-
kalo. the Kauaha pond, and the match
less pools in the wooded glens
around Pilholo, Makawao.
The legends about her compare with
those of the German fairy folklore,
and around the charms Of her person
as she sits combing her wealth Of
golden tresses at the edge Of some
bathing pool is woven many a half
forgotten Maurl folk tale. #
In some Of the latest ones she Is
reputed to have lured two haoles at
different times on merry chase only
to see her disappear in one or another
of the deep, clearwater pools among
the wooded glens of Pilholo. One, q
doctor, ended his aimless wanderings
to her glenwood haunts by becoming
paralytic, the other, a woodcutter,

cynical, disillusioned actresses are
no good" he once said at a dinner.
II remember an actress of mine some
years ago who fell down badly in q
part I'd given her.
Look here ] said the morning
after she fell down, all the critics say
you don't show half enough emotion
in the scene where your husband
leaves you never to return
"The cynical, disillusioned creature
gave tart laugh.
"'Oh, don't. don't II she sneered.
Well, look here, Mr.. Hammerstein,
I've had six husbands leave me never
to return, and guess I know how
much emotion ought to be shown ID
such circumstances as well as any
hodyt"

FAMILY MARKED BY oDDITY
London Newspaper Tells Of Strange
Fate That Pursued Group Both
In Life and Death.

There lived at Ipswich in the reign
Of William III family known as the
"odd family" a most appropriate
name. as the following facts prove,
London Answers states:
Every event, good, bad or indiffer-
ent. came to that family in On odd
year or an odd day of the month, and
every person was odd in manner or
behavior or appearance. Even the
letters Of their Christian names al
ways amounted to an odd number.
The father and mother were Peter
and Rahab; their seven children (all
boys) bore the names of David, Eze-
kiel, James, Jonas, Matthew, Roger
and Solomon. The husband possessed
only one leg and his wife only one
arm Solomon was blind in his left
eye and Roger lost his right in an
accident; James had his left ear torn
off in quarrel. Matthews left hand
had but three fingers.
Jonas had a stump foot, David was
humpDacKed and Ezekiel was b feet
inches at the age Of nineteen. Every
one Of the children had red hair, not
withstanding the fact that the fathers
hair was Jet black and the mothers
white.
Strange at birth, all died as
strangely.
The father fell into deep sawpit
and was killed, the wife died five days
after from starvation. Ezekiel enlist
ed, was wounded In % places, but re-
covered. Roger, James. Jonas, David
and Matthew died in 1713 in six diff
ferent places on the same day; Sclo-
mon and Ezekiel were drowned in the
Thames In 1928.
