GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. Ben Lyon and Raquel Torres head a marvellous cast at the Grand Theatre in "Aloha." 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 lovs with Ilanu, a heautiful half-caste (played by Miss Torres). Ilanu has refused to ch'oose a mate from among the native swains, and is, thereby, an outcast from her tribe. When Lyons marries her and takes her home to his stormy old father and his snobbish sister and their ritzy friends, the story swings from drama to comedy to thrills and emotional tempests. The wife — a child of nature, spontaneous, natural, affectionate, and joy-loving — is to the aristoeratie old family a scandal, a sin, a th'orn in their flesh, and not to he endured. She upsets a staid and dignified world and keeps the plot sizzling. The cast includes — besides Ben Lyon and Raquel Torres — Robert Edeson, Alan Hale, Thelma Todd, Marian Douglas, T. Roy Barnes, Robert Ellis, | Otis Harian, Donald Reed, Dickie • Moore, Marcia Harris, Rit Rey, Addie MacPhail.
