Ulth. Few dramas produced in recent years have secured as firm a held on the public as "The Itirt! of Para dise." Us popularity is largely due to the spell cast hy the weird and beautiful music, which seems never to lose its haunting spell. It creates the atmosphere of the play and ho- conies a sort of appropriate musical commentary on the pathetic story ot livo and sacrifice that the drama tells. This season the role of I, nana is in the hands of Florence Kockwell, an actress i.-f exceptional emotional ability. Others in tho cast include liobert Mrister, I trait don Kvuns, Spring My lug ton, Kosu Watson, and the native singers from Hawaii. Seats are on sale at the Page theatre.
