on Saturday night and the Indus
tairl School may congratulate it.
self on scoring a success. The
first selection, Grown of Gold"
was especially fitting in subject,
since the affair was under Her
Majesty's patronage. But the or
chestra excelled in the rendering
of the patrol, Egyptian Midnight
Parade" which was very pleasing
selection, doing itself but scant
justice in the other selections. The
two choruses sung by the choir of
the Industrial School-''Hark to
the Rolling Drum" and the "Slum-
Der Song"-were prettily sung, al
though there was apparently some
timidity felt at first by the young
ladies, who, we hope, may sing
often enough in public to overcome
that drawback. The first chorus
showed perhaps lack of numbers.
Next an appreciative audience lis
tened to DIR. Marcuse's rendering of
"Cavatina," by Raff-not Handels
'Largo'-calling him back to give
pleasing encore. Mr.. Berger and
the doctor INDUCED in very clever
bit of improvisation in this encore,
the theme being furnished by Hau-
ser's "Wiegenlied."
Next g member of the orchestra
favored us with one of our own
ever welcome Hawaiian songs
"Mikioi, "a solo and chorus. A
novel feature of this many-sided
entertainment was a poem by
Her Majesty, pleasingly read by
Mrs. w. L. Hoppe
Miss Holmes sang the old and
beautiful song, "The Palms" The
Kawaiahao girls sang well, as they
almost invariably do, to attentive
listeners. Although seven of the
leading sopranos have welded or
graduated, still the younger girls
who have taken their places have
filled them well. Especial credit
must be given Mr.. Berger for
the excellent accompaniment of
the instruments, bringing out
and supporting by their
subdued strains the girls voices.
The girls were enthusiast
cally recalled, repeating a part
of "Waipio." Miss Nolte as
usual gave much pleasure and was
enthusiastically recalled. Miss
Nolte possesses a beautiful voice
which would richly reward long
course of study.
If one wants to hear good old
fashioned Hawaiian singing, listen
to the Kawaiahao choir. They
prepared and sang Mrs. Haalelea's
compositions with much zest.
Nature has given the Ha-
waiians many pleasing voices to
charm their foreign friends. They
seem to take very naturally to part
singing.
Miss Dale rejoiced the audience
greatly by her solos. The aria of
Handel is a beautiful though
highly flowery piece, and Miss
Dale sang it like a virtuoso, ably
seconded by Miss Wing who man
aged a difficult accompaniment to
perfection. The encore "Annie
Laurie" took the hearts of the audi
ence by storm, and a second recall
obliged Miss Dale to add a verse.
Miss McGrew played the pretty
Polish Dance" with grace and
simplicity and merited her recall.
