Show T H E C I and director of the Civic Theatre in New York. Repertory ALOMA OF THE 80UTH 8EA TO BE PRESENTED AT WILKES South sea love, sensuous music and tropical dances will hold the attention of playgoers at the Wilkes Theatre next week when the Wilkes Players present Aloma of tne South Seas, the spectacular, romantic drama starting with the matinee Sunday afternoon. Here is a play as picturesque as The Bird of Paradise, but with an entirely different motif and story. A Aloma, most beautiful of the native girls who dance at the Blue Pearl Inn Qon Paradise island. Miss Gladys George will introduce some new South Sea island dances, to the accompaniment of lilting South Sea island music provided by a troupe of musicians engaged especially for this production. Director Huron L. Blyden is sparing no expense to mark Aloma of the South Seas a presentation that will be long remembered. Aloma, so the story goes, delights in tormenting her native lover, Nui-tan(Frank Perry, and to get rid of the men who look at her too ardently Nuitane takes them for a sail and then places all responsibility for their loss on the sharks, which prefer white meat to brown, when his boat upsets. Bob Holden, an American staying at the Inn (Ben Erwav), has been drinking heavily because his sweetheart, whom he left behind on going to war, had married his best pal, Van Templeton (Noel Leslie). When Red Malloy (Arthur Loft) a dishonest trader, annoys Aloma, Bob defends her and she swears allegiance to the first white man who has actually fought for her. When Andrew Taylor (Richard Tracy) learns that Bobs former sweetheart Sylvia (Daisy Del Wilcox) is coming to the island with her husband, he sends Bob to his plantation and Aloma insists on going as housekeeper, Aloma sets out to lure Bob and restores him to health by her careful attentions. Nuitane strives to get Bob out of the way, but succeeds only in feeding Van Templeton to the sharks. To go further with the story would spoil it for playgoers, but it is a vivid drama of a native girls love for a white man with a denuement quite unexpected. Others of the large cast will have vital roles in this exceptional play. Many unique scenic effects are required for the production. Aloma of the South Seas will be presented every hight next week, with matinees Sunday, Thursday and Saturday.
