HOMES FOR CHILDREN.

Orphans and other destitute children of Maui are not to be left
homeless and without care by reason of the failure of the children
home project as it was at first planned. The proposal IS to be carried
nut after all and a need which Maui shares with all the Islands OF the
group is to be relieved here at least.
Not discouraged by the failure of the first plan, Father Justin
has never given up the project of finding a place for homeless little
folk. and in his determination he has not been alone for others, irres-
pecive of sect or denomination, recognizing the urgent need for such
an institution have also stayed by the ship" which now appears to
have weathered the storm and to be making for smooth waters.
1t is good news that tells of plans for a home for the girls and
smaller children up Makawao way and for the boys in Waluku where
the inmates can attend ST Anthonys School. That the homes are to
be in a sanse sectarian will not hamper their usefulness, the beneht
which they will be to the community, for it is not expected that the
doors of the institution will be shut against any little one, no matter
what church his parents attended. 1t may be expected that the need of
the child will be the occasion for the services rendered.
AS it is now, orphaned children, left with none to care for them
have to be sent to Honolulu and placed in some institution there
Honolulu's own charges and wards. With a home here, Maui chill
dren need not leave this Island. There are others who are wards of
the welfare board but still cannot be given the care they need, not
meaning by any means all those who receive such assistance from that
board, but enough to warrant mention. No place has there been for
them O Maui, but there will be. Where religious differences DO not
conflict, there is no reason why the county should not commit such
unfortunate ones to a fostering institution such as will be created
here. Those who have been engaged in welfare work on Maui at
all, those who have observed conditions, those who have leant their
ear to the gront, who have watched with open eyes, they can cite
scores of instances where the need for a home has appeared and it
is for that reason that it may be expected that the proposed orphan
age will secure the financial support that it may require

WATER SYSTEM INADEQUATE

During the period of winter rains there was little cause for COM
plant as to lack OF water for personal and domestic purposes in Wal
luku but with a cessation OF rains and added use of water for iri-
cation purposes it is again evident that the system is inadeoquate. The
morning and evening showers at home become a "tricke bath" while
water pours out upon lawns and flower beds. 1t is not, say officials

Behind the Scenes
With the Operator
OF Stage Hurricane

A visit backstage at the Astor Theater
during the tropical storm in "The Blue
Lagoon" is something like a course
in mechanics. The master stage me-
cnanic creates the hurricane by oper-
ating a signal board very much as an
organist plays q symphony on a
fourmanual organ
One hundred and sixty-one cues, dis
tributcd over 210 seconds, are re-
CURED to operate the storm scene.
These cues are directed by T. Gatenby
Bell, general stage manager of the
production, who stands at specially
constructed signal board and who
sends them to his assistants and me-
chanics in various parts OF the stage.
Mr.. Bell has to work rapidly. He can
have no assistant at the signal board
rs confusion and an attendant loss
OF time would result. He has thirty
seven light signals to fash, some call
ing for forked lightning, others for
thunder effects, still others for the
roll and crash Of waves upon the shore
and several for the roar and whistle
o. the wind. Then there are the vari-
Gus sirens to be sounded as an aid in
stimulating the tremendous fight Of
the wind through the forest. Bird
cries must also be given and an i'm
preston Of teeming rain be made.
1t speaks volumes for the technical
equipment of the American theaters
and their stage crews that only three
and one-half weeks were necessary to
make "The Blue Lagoon" ready for
presentation, whereas in London ten
weeks were required. The Astor crew
worked day and night during the final
week of the rehearsal, and on the
opening night not minutes delay in
TIE operation of the spectacular scene
was observed.
Mr.. Bells cues are flashed to forty
two different positions on the stage.
4 special bridge, fastened By cables to
the roof and to the flies. has been
constructed directly over the island
o. THE Blue Lagoon" 1t is not dis
cernible to the audience On this
bridge stand four men who operate
the forked lightning effects and create
much of the strong wind that blows
over the island. They receive their
signals from an automatic switchboard
that in turn is controlled by the key
board operated by the stage manager.

the workings Of Ell Gallo's brain while
in the ring. One day the signs are
favorable and his daring makes the
spectators gasp. Another time some
incident tells Of i'll fortune, and he
trembles as he faces the bull. His
blood turns to water and the great
matador fees in terror. If you have
read Blood and Sand the portions
which deal with the fears OF Ell Gal
lardo before a fight will give you
clearly an understanding of this psy-
chology Of fright.

fortunes inflicted, charged the torero.
FL Gallo, waving the muleta, swaying
from his hips, but never moving in his
tracks, just escaped the bull, whose
heaving tanks brushed his clothes.
The bull turned and Ell Gallo, with the
GOODNESS of ice, kept his back to the

the animal passed him. The people go

By Arnold DAILY

Since my announcement Of a season
of repertoire, many people have asked
nc for my reasons for supposing that
such q repertoire .theater can be sue
cessful in New York. BY success, Of
course, is meant a financial success,
since in this way only can a privately
financed enterprise continue its-at
frst-tenuous existence.
My answer to them has been, frank
~ That | don't know about the fnan-
cisl success of a repertoire theater.
That remains to he seen. The case is,
perhaps, analogous to that OF tho Joke
writer who offered an ancient jest to
the late lamented "Puc,s.' On being
told that it was old he remarked calmly
that he knew it. but stated that it had
always given satisfaction. That. in
part, is the ground on which roper
toire theater stands. Take one hand
full Of good plays which lave been liked
before, add sprinkling of new plays
which should be liked because they
are coed. stir slowly, dropping in
, one by ore--a company of favorably
known and competent actors, and per-
nit it to simmer until an unusual
activity at the box Office indicates that
its presence in New York is not un-
welcome. The basis Of all this, you
will notice, is the handful of good
plays that have always given satsfac-
ton.
That's the tangible thing the roper
toire theater has to build upon. Given
few plays that can make money, as
proven by the fact that they have
made money before, the repertoire
theater Is able to experiment with new
material, material which should be III
teresting to an intelligent public but
which is as yet untried. Being theo-
retically certain OF a percentage Of
profit on the revivals, the repertoire
theater 10 able to venture upon plays
which the ordinary producer. who must
stand or fall on each enterprise, might
be afraid to handle, afraid to handle,
that is, not because he has any doubt
about the worth OF the play, but be-
cause he is in doubt as to whether
there is public for it.
How Loss and
Gain Are Eyened Up
A producer CT one play stakes his all
upon the chance. If he loses there is
no comeback. the repertoire theater,
if it loses little on one play, is quite
apt to get it back on another, end if
the losses are not 80 much that they
staggger the financial hacker badly it
is triumph for art.
All Of which, Of course, is simply
beating about the bush. The problem
we have before US is whether roper
toire theater can be a success in New
York. am certain that, financially,
we stand good chance, but when
pressed for my reasons | must beg off.
1ou cannot reason yourself into pos
sessing busy box Office in this city.
AS an instance of that, please consider
the appalling mortality list that the
current season has already brought
forth. Wouldn't you suppose that
these seasoned producers, who in the
course OF their time have each pro-
duced hundreds Of plays, would know
by now what the public wsnts-would
know by now what makes a success {?
These men have had a better chance
than any one else Of finding out what
the public wants yet pr every success
