AMUSEME ENTS
aTuE BIRD OF PARADISE"

OliverMorosco's production of Rich
ard Walton Tully's strikingiy original
Hawaiian play ''The Bird of Paradise .
comes to the oregon Theatre on April
Z. The charm of the play lies not only
! in its originality, but it also has the
'heart punch 1t tells the pretty but
pathetic love story OF the poor little
Hawaiian princess, Luana. who, thru
no fault of hers, drags down the young
American physician. who falls in love
with her and marries, and who then
comes to the realization that marriages
between the brown and white race
should never be. 1t is called a play
I of a woman's soul. Entertaining fea-
I lures OF this popular attraction are
/ the Hawaiian quintette of native sing
ers, dancers and playersss who are
credited with having made Hawaiian
music popular in American. Then
there is the truly remarkable scenic
effect at the end of the play, that OF
the crater of an active volcano. Mr..
Morosco is said to have selected an ex-
cellent company. This season he viii
introduce a new Luana in Miss Rita
Romilly whose charms grow upon one
until it seems that no one else possi-
BILE could be a more alluring Hawaiian
princess. Other members of the cast
include Mr.. Guy Harrington, as Doctor
Wilson, Brandon Evans, as the beach,
comber. John Miton as Captain Hatch.
Aside from the Hawaiian players are
Robert Thayer, and Miss Margaret
Thayer as the missionary and his wife.
and Miss Jane Haven, as Diana Larned,
the beachcomber's redeemer. Through
out the play the quaint strains of the
Hawaiian slide-string instruments
wend their plaintive way, and lend
their subtle charm which markes The
Bird of Paradise" one of the most
talked of plays of the century.

republicans objected, and failure OF
these was regarded as certain. The
$S50, 100000 sundry civil bill was an
other measure marked for failure.
Bills shut out in the senate included
those providing for enforcement of the
wartime prohibition and Secretary Lanes
measure to reclaim waste lands for set
tlement by discharged soldiers.
Three more regular appropriation bills,
however, the Indian, diplomatic and mill
tary academy measures, were completed
and sent to President Wilson Final
legislative action also was taken on the
measure appropriating funds for hos

During the night hours, republicans
ard democrats of the senate disputed
responsibility for prospective failure of
the many bills which both conceded would
not be passed.
The democrats asserted that, without
republican opposition, the measures could
be passed before congress adjourns, while
the republicans declared that the legis-
iation should not be passed so hastily,
involving such enormous sums of money
and urged that an extra session be call
ed Immediately. They declared President
Wilson and the democratic administration
must be charged with delay in passage
Of vitally necessary measures which
could be accomplished at an extra ses-
sion.
