SPLENDID CAST FOR
"LITTLE ITALY"


Alice Brady will be seen here to-
night, opening a two-day run in
Little Italy" at the Kenworthy Thea
tre
This play, which offers Miss Brady
most colorful role as high-strung,
intensely emotional Italian girl, is the
second of a series of foreign roles in
which the star is being presented by
Realart. The first, "The Land of
Hope" showed the star as wistful
Polish immigrant girl, and like Lit
tie Italy," was written especially for
Miss Brady by Frederic and Fannie
Hatton.
The story Of Little Italy" concerns
the life in thriving colony Of truck
farmers who live near the great New
York market, carrying on brisk
trade in garden produce and growing
wealthy, but remaining aloof from the
American life all about them, and re-
tanning all their native customs, be-
liefs and fueds.
Norman Kerry plays opposite Miss
Brady, while others in the cast are
George Fawcett, Jack Ridgway, Ger
trude Norman, Luis Alberni, and
Marguerite Forrest. More than two
hundred extras, all Italian, were en-
ployed to give color and life to the
big scenes

ARE THERE ANY DECENT MENq

Helga Larson, an 18year-old girl,
whose birth place was quiet vii
lage in the beautiful land of the mid
night sun, unfolded a pitiful story in
court of demostic relation. She
accused Peter Martinson, rich and
prominent man. Her story of mock
marriage was denied by Martinson.
She was unable to prove her as
sertions as the supposed to be min
lister and witnesses had all myster1-
ously disappeared shortly after the
ceremony.
Martinson fatty denied any knowl-
edge of the girl and prepared to
swear that he was not the father OF
her child Like a flash, she was up
on him and snatched the bible from
beneath his hand. Stop! He must
not swear" she cried. HE is the
father of my child, but rather than
see him swear his soul away. I will
be called a wanton. | withdraw my
charges What becomes of this girl
and her nameless child? See THE
Woman He Chose" at the Liberty
Theatre, tomorrow and Wednesday.

Cuts Hand on Razor.

Mrs L. e. Torsen sustained
severe injury to her right hand this
morning in most peculiar way. The
sharp blade of a safety razor in some
manner became concealed in a bluing
bag and when Mrs. Torsen started to
squeeze the bag the blade sank deep
into the fleshy part of the hand, max
ing a bad cut Her son had been
shaving and it is supposed had laid
the razor blade on the bluing bag, or
some place where it became enangled
in the bag.

ROYAL Carriages Go Cheap.

Honolulu, T. H.-Royal relics may be
tinged with the rosy hue of romance

Queen Liliuokalani, last of the native
monarchs, were sold at auction for
Sc and So, respectively.

TESTS OF CIVILIZATION

Sir Auckland. the British am

three essential characteristics o.
Ia genuine, progressive civiliza
ton, 1t possesses love o.
beauty. a desire for the truth and
spirit of service. In othe'
words. il cares for art. knowledg
and altriism.
These are certainly useful and
Illuminating tests to apply to an,
nation. Some critics may dues
tion whether the third quality is
really essential to nation. but
the history of the World War
ought to dispose of any doubts
