GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. Ben Lyon and Raquel Torres head a marvellous cast at the Grand Theatre to-night in "Ahoha." Ben Lyon plays a young San Francisco business man, who is in the tropics to learn his father's copra business from the ground up. In spite of his better judgment, he falls in love with Ilanu, a beautiful halfcaste (played by Miss Torres). Ilanu has refused to choose a mate from among the native swains, and is, thereby, an outcast from her tribe. When Lyon marries her and takes her home to his stormy old father and his snobbish sister and their ritzy friend, the story swings ' from drama to comedy to thrills and emotional tempests. The wife — a child of nature, spontaneous, natural, affectionate and joyloving — is to be the aristocratic old family a scandal, a sin, a thorn in their flesh, and not to be endured. She upsets a staid and dignified world and keeps the plot sizzling.
