SOCIETY NOTES.
Delightful Entertainment 1t Mr..
Glade's.
First Night of "Der Nefe ais
OnkeI" in HOnOIulu---Locai
Stars Shine in II.

The German play announced in
this column last week was given at
lsthe residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Glade
last evening. Der Neffe ais
Onkel " is a popular light comedy
well known in Germany. 1t is
pretty long, and requires careful
study and good acting to bring out
its good points. 1t is therefore
high praise to say that the per-
formance last night was in all re-
spects successful one. The COM
edy is one of errors, and turns up
on an extraordinary resemblance
which enables scapegrace nephew
to personate his uncle and in the
latter. capacity pay his naughty
debts, etc, not to mention giving
the solemn paternal consent and
blessing to the marriage of the
nephew with the uncle's daughter.
The play is full of humorous stu
atoms, the effect of which, how
ever, would have been lost if the
play had been worked up with less
care and fidelity. All the parts
were we'll sustained. Miss Clara
Glade personated a young man who
would not have been so fascinating
in any other hands. The leading
roles of the Uncle and Nephew
were taken by Messrs. Du Roi
and Homburg, of Hackfeld IL Co.,
and both were carried through with
a spirit and energy which showed
that the actors had completely
identified themselves with their
parts. Miss Glade, as Frau Won
Mirville, was more entirely nat
ural than anyone else in the COM
pany. The character of Frau Won
Dorsigny was played with the dig
nifty, grace and vivacity which one
has learned to expect from Miss
McGrew.
Miss Robertson carried the not
always easy role of Sophie, the
daughter, to a successful conclu-
sion. In the tete-a-tete scene with
Lormeuil, she was perfect.
The part of Valcour is almost q
superhuous one, but Miss Hannah
Glade gave it a naive attractive
ness which one would not have
been willing to miss. Herr Pfoten-
hauer played the fertile-brained
Champagne so we'll that one might
be tempted to award him the palm.
Messrs. Schulze and Grau, who had
each double comic role, were both
delightfully."- funny, and added an
Indispensable element to the piece
The company-a select one OF
about fifty-were enthusiastic in
their expressions of applause, and
the curtain arose on a final pleas
ing tableau. After the play the
hospitality of the amiable host and
hostess found a material express
sion in salads, sandwiches and
ices, not to mention fluids of 6
merit which simply beggars de
scription. " Last scene Of alp
behold the floor cleared for dane
ing, with genial Mr.. Berger kindly
filling the empty space with music
which the feet could not resist.
The caste of the play is az
