Bird of Paradise at the Majestic Review
The review compares the play to Madame Butterfly with an American and an Oriental marriage. Nila Mac plays the Hawaiian princess, devoted to her American, denying greatness to protect her people and making a sacrifice. Arthur Chatterdon is a pliant husband, Edmund Abbey a sharp beachcomber, and December wedding May brings Joan Storm to help him. Local colors include a native orchestra and magic rites, but staging lacks intensity. The director is urged to heighten incantation scenes and volcano imagery for a stronger finale.
