AT HARRISBURG PLAYHOUSES HAWAIIAN LOVE PLAY ENJOYED ! "The Bird of Paradise" Pre sented at Orpheum; Ap pealing Story Xo one who saw "The Bird of Para dise" at the Orpheum Theater, last night, can question Richard Walton Tully's originality and the appeal of the wonderful plot he has developed in this play. A gripping story of native love and superstition of the early nineties, whiuh led to the sacrifice of a woman to Mount Pelee. a volcano of the Ha waiian Islands, is presented in an ap ! pealing maijner by Oliver Morosco i That the play was enjoyed last night by the large audience is certain. A fascinating romance, presented by a I capable cast, is always welcome. But "The Bird of Paradise" was more ,lin that. There were many lessons in its lines to show how a man, who has gone to the lowest depths, can re deem himself, and to show how an other man. with nothing but the brightest to look forward to. can sink to that same level. The scenic arrangement was de- j lightful. The story opens oil the beach on the Puna coast. Island of Ha- j waii. Here an American medical stu- I dent and a young woman, who in- 1 tends to help him in his search for a cure for leprosy, meet a number of I Hawaiian natives. The student falls j in love with a beautiful Hawaiian | girl. His companion tinds a beach- > comber, asks him to give uo his evil < life and redeem himself. He leaves with her, and the medical student re- j mains to marry the Hawaiian girl. In the second act the interior of a | native house is shown. Two years j have elapsed and the beachcomber re- ! turns a new man and persuades the j medical student and hirt Hawaiian j bride to leave for Honolulu. In leaving her home on the Puna ! beach, the girl,arouses the ire of a priest of Peiee,who makes the "prayer | of death" against her. l,ater, she re- i turns and sacrifices her life for her native friends. Miss Helen Carew. as the univer sity graduate accompanying the young doctor: John Warner, as the doctor: Miss Celete Scudder. as Igu ana, the Hawaiian girl lie marries, and John Waller, as the beachcomber, are tiie leading characters in the cast. The Hawaiian music and songs arc ex ceptionally good and are an entertain ing feature of the production. MAX ROBERTSON. fCapt. !

Howe's | Mimirri Our Travel Festival be- I Super- cause of its distinc- OrefKlnniigM* tion, dignity and dif ference from posed I films. Mr. Howe's exhibition, which ! comes to the Orpheutfi to-morrow and i Saturday, with daily matinees, can al ways be depended upon to broaden one's mental outlook, but his new pro duction promises to do so la a pecu liarly vital and timely way. For it conducts spectators aboard our super dreadnaughts, stripped for action "Somewhere in the Atlantic," and so gives every spectator a new and fresh conception of the activities, dis- I cipline and maneuvers of our "senti i nels of the deep" under the stress of | war. The films radiate the" atinos ! phere of grim realities, not of pomp j or pageantry, and every foot teems 1 with vital interest to every true .American. Then, too, the l\ S. Naval i Academy, at Annapolis, Md., con j tributes many stirring scenes from the strenuous and varied training | given the splendid corps of "middies." i Their tactical exercises are of absorb ing interest. Another feature breathes the spirit and life of our great West as it has never been depicted before, jlt shows the many tense moments during real bronchobreaking contests, and hair-raising episodes occurring j It reveals what the West considers ! roughriding, as compared with the j comparatively tamo sort seen in the effete Fast. There are many other subjects, such as the perils of climbing I Mt. Blanc, the highest mountain in i the Alps: a tide over the Continental Divide via the Great Northern Rail way, etc. At the Orpheum on Monday and [Tuesday. November 12 and 13, the Hpbart-Jordan I "Whnt' Your Company will pre i Husband Doing?" sent "What's Your Husband Doing?" | a farce founded on fact by George V. , Hobart, author of "Experience," Zieg i feld Follies, etc. The cast will be a I brilliant and especially organized one I for this engagement prior to its New York run. Mid Includes: Hale Hamil ton, Virginia Hammond. Charlotte Ives. Clara Maekin, Alice Lloyd, Jane Cooper, Jed Prouty, Walter Lewis, Jos. Connyers. Thos. Clarke and others. "What's Your Husband Do- I ing?" is not a moving picture, but an I elaborate and effective stage produc tion in which all of the stars men tioned above will personally positively ! appear.

I An amusing sketch entitled "Duffy's I Hise." Is also included on the bill.

At.other American, a young man, by the loan of his auoto inoblle, also help:) the Russian girl. When the Germans seize the town the two Americans are held tor complic ity, and encounter many thrilling ex periences.

FARM DRAINAGE MAKES LAND PAY State Expert Talks on the Im portance of Doing Work in the Right Way Thousands of of the best agricultural lane; ;n ;:io stale can oe reclaimed at very little expense by undcrdrainage and numerous exam ples of success are pointed to by Jie State Department of Agriculture. For several years Charles G. McLain, drainage and water supply engineer "f the department, has been helping farmers to improve their swamp and lowlands and -he recites an instance in the western part of the state which chows the advantage of drainage. He says: "This swampy land on a farm in western Pennsylvania wis in such a bad condition that it would only 'iy out enough, to produce a fair crop every two or three years. "The drainage was laid oiit, and put in during the fall and win ter seasons, but when spring came mound it was so thoroughly drained that it was plowed during April and tnen planted to corn during the month of May. "I hnd occasion to be in this sec tion during the iirst week in June and N was surprised to tind the corn Up at least three inches and it had been wcrked twice and ready for the third working. During the Saturday that 1 spent there a very heavy ruin fell about noontime and by 3 o'clock the eight-inch main was running al most full of water, showing how soon tho wter percolated down through .■|H;||ll[HI||ll|B|ll||ll||ll||ll|IH|B|ll|llllIIIIBIIIIIIIIBIII|BIIIIllllIIIIBIIIIlllf'llllllllllllllli|.. sfsValillaliilßliilalitlaliilalnlahilaNilaliila'iilalii'aliilalii'aiiilaliilalii'aliilaliila'iilaliilaiiila'iilaliiliirß ifl =4= || "A Different Kind, of a Jewelry Store" jjj We Want to Send You Our R Bjß Sfc || Beautiful Catalogue, Hand- | U somely Illustrated in Colors, ffl Watches .

"Nainrai'y one would expect this amount of rainfall to HO thoroughly so;ik the soil that it would be sev eral days before it would be in a l ond'llon to cultivate, hut'such was not the case, for I met the owiie • a few dtve after and he told me that he started the'cultivators on the fol lowing Tuesday. "it is hardly conceivable that such land could be drained out and pro duce a crop the same season, but I Know that the crop of corn produced was on<> of the best in that section 11' thi country. The next season this torn stubble was plowed during April and sowed to oats and a spljn diu crop of oats was the result." If these results have been obtained !n different sections of the state, why not more drainage, for there is pienty of land that needs it, and if It is done, more and better crops run 'ne raised from the same amou'it of lend. Drained land will produce a great er quantity and better quality of crops from the same acreage T.ith about the same amount of labor. OijßßEft S'lAMnn U|l SEALS & STENCILS V f?
