As It Appears in the News | Editor The Star: Will you be so kind as to reprint the pwing item taken from the Post-Intelligencer ?: “By Associated Press, “Honolulu, T. HH.

He was a regular fellow, human, full of jokes, and, as Bill Nye says, “pleasant to be thrown amongst.” And I up and asked him a question: “Why,” I inquired, “did you play the part of a preacher as you did? I have known clergymen all my life, my father was one, and out of the several thousand I have met, I cannot recall half a dozen who were the smirking, Migs Nancy, mincing, reversed- haberdashery, prim, and impossible boobs, such as you made your character out to be.” His answer was: “I had to. wouldn't understand any other kind of a parson on the stage.
