theatre Monday night, I'eb. 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.
