"A DAUGHTER OF TH ESCN" Picturesque scenery of the Ha waiian Islands and its native dancing and singing to the accompaniment of the guitar and ukelele furnish the background and setting for "A Daughter of the Sun," Lorin Howard and Ralph Kettering's latest contri bution to the stage. Intrigue plays an important part in the drama and there is a delightful love story and many of the pretty scenes are be tween the heroine, an Hawaiian girl, and a young American doctor. The plav is characterized by imposing Scenic effects and the presenting com pany is a thoroughly capable one. This drama will be tlie attraction at the Orpheum to-day, matinee and niglit "THE BIRD OF PARADISE"' Richard Walter Tully's beautiful Hawaiian romance, "The Bird of Para dise," now in its eighth consecutive year of phenomenal success from coast to coast, will appear at the Or pheum next Friday and Saturday for its annual visit. Since last seen here the play has been rebuilt and recostumed, and in every detail, the production will be found bright and new and will come up to the high standard Oliver Mo rosco, Its producer has set in the past. Perhaps nearly every person who will see it during its coming en gagement already knows the story, the manner of its development and its principal scenes. Many may have seen it enough to know its lines. It has become a great popular favorite, and is still enticing capacity audi ences in every city visited. Miss Ann Reader is the New Luana. and is said to give a vivid characterization of the innocent temptress who drags her white husband into the depths. Mr. Guy Harrington enacts the role of the white man; Frederick Forrester plays the part of the beach-comber; and' Miss Agnes Cappeline is Diana, the American girl. One of the great est charms of this play is the ever present weirdly sweet music that steals out of the silence, and forces its appeal to deeper emotionalism, giving peace to troubled soul and a sweeter breath to the. island love. Among the other members of the typ ical Morosco, cast are John Milton, Royale Thoyer, Taylor Carroll, Frank Howard, Miss Diana Carew, Miss Con stance Kingsley, Miss Margaret Thayer and Miss Meta Eyfeth.

His engagement for the tour of the Columbia Stellar Quartet necessitated the cancelation of a number of important concert engage ments throughout the country. Mr. Miller wap born in South Carolina and attended Clemson College. For a while he lived in Alabama, and it was there his singing first attracted attention, .doing to New York, he promptly took a high place In the list of young tenors, and in a remarkably short time gained recognition as one of the best schooled artists before the public. He has had three tours with the New York Symphony Orches tra and two with the Chicago Or chestra, and hat appeared as soloist at one time or another with every important symphony orchestra in the United States.

It is the latest play by Roi Cooper Megrue. Those who have seen it in New York declared it to be the best thing tliut Mr. Megrue has written.

LEMOYNE ASKED TO VISIT SCHOOLS Patrons Urged to Investigate Work Done by Board and Teachers Ijenioyne, Pa., Nov. B.—Believing borough residents are not giving any attention to the local school sys tem and criticising the work of the board of directors and teachers when they are not acquainted with condi tions. W. A. Bair, secretary of the board to-day issued a statement to the patrons. In the statement the secretary suggests a few things that board members feel would help the schools to be more appreciated than they are. The statement follows: "I>irectors of the Lemoyne schools want to call attention of taxpayers and patrons of our schools to a few things that we feel would help make our schools more appreciated than they are. We feel that we have a corps of teachers who are working hard, and as a result of their efforts we feel that we have schools which are second to none in the community. "We feel that the citizens of Le moyne do not appreciate the fact that we do have good schools, in fact we can hear more favorable comment about our schools from persons who are not patrons. The reason for this is that the patrons of our schools do not acquaint them selves with the work that is being done in our schools. We must main tain our schools. We must pay our teachers. Then why not help make our schools what they should be by encouraging the teachers and di rectors? "We feel that the parents should visit the schools and find out just what is being done and if there is any real or imaginary fault, go have a talk with the teacher and find out the facts. Do not judge of the work being done by what you see and hear outside the schoolroom. "Too often a teacher is criticised for some act or result by the child's report which is too often one-sided. We again urge parents to visit our schools. If you cannot find time to go through the whole building you surely are interested enough in your child's education and welfare to go spend an hour in the room or rooms to which your children go. "It is your money that maintains the schools and we are trying, ham pered as we are for funds, to give the very best possible. If there is any doubt in your mind as to the standing or grade of our schools, ask the high school inspector, the county superintendent or the super vising principal how our schools compare with other schools in the community. Bear in mind that good teachers, text books, and the neces sary equipment will not give re sults without effort on the part of the pupil and the co-operation of the parents." Better Speech Week Is Closed With Playlet in High School Auditorium The climax of Harrisburg's "Better Speech Week Celebration" was the entertainment given by the four high schools in the Technical High School autditorium. with Mr. Wil- See Kough, Brightbill & Kline for REAL ESTATE & INSURANCE Bell 3902 307 Kunkel Bldg.

Miss Nellie Ard danced with unusual grace before the Princess. Miss Annie Laurie, Miss Ella Ryan and Miss Julia Ryan, of the Edison Junior High School, contributed to the program the sketch called "The Mysterious Thirteen."

The frolic of the mice was led by the dainty Dancing Fairy, Eliza Jane Shupp. Camp Curtin Junior High School was represented by Lavinia Buck waiter, who delighted her audience with the story of "the Minstrel's Music That Pleased the Queen." The composure of the little woman and her pleasing manner and her skill in story telling, impressed her hear ers. The entertainment concluded with the play "Nevertheless," staged by the Sophomore Dramatic Club, under the direction of Messrs. Strawinski and Zeigler, of the Technical High School. The club had the assistance of Miss Mildred Rhoades, a cousin of one of the members. The natural interpretation of the lines by the Boy. the Girl and the Burglar won instant appreciation. The cast —Burglar. Warren Cless; the Boy, Harold Cook; the Girl, Mil dred Rhoads.
