ing OF the 18th of November, the
East Maui Seminary gave a
Thanksgiving" entertainment in
its large hall in Makawao.
There was present a goodly-sized
audience representative of natives
and foreigners of this side of Maui
which enjoyed much the excel
lent programme of music, tableaux
and rhetoricals.
1t was not this time a "Gypsy
Queen" operetta nor a cantata
from Mother Goose, but it was of
miscellaneous character of a high
order of excellence and most anus
ing.
Some of the events deserving
especial praise were as follows ::
The shadow pantomime "Silver-
locks and the Three Bears" which
caused much laughter; the well
rendered chorus FAIRY Moon
light" another shadow picture, ga
Thanksgiving Dream" in which all
the tempting viands of New Eng
land dinner danced before the
dreamer; the dialogue "Keziah's
Engagement" which was we'll act
ed and caused great amusement {;
the chorus" Larboard Watch, "by the
whole school which elected much
applause the exercise in primary
geometry which was unique, as the
children spoke the lines they FORM
ed quickly and prettily the figures
mentioned and the chorus Ave
Maria" which merited many COM
pliments, the far-away echo in
creasing its effect very much. All
the tableaux were beautifully and
artistically costumed and most
effectively presented. The excel
lent sandwiches and coffee, cake and
candy, all being productions from
the seminary kitchen were much
enjoyed. The audience was unan-
imous in praise of the entertain
ment and thought it fully equal to
the high standard of former times.
