Hawaii.

all on tiptoe, awaiting with anxious ex-
pectation the sale of seats Thursday
morning, at MR. Mitchell's Office, No. 542
Congress St., for the performances OF
Messrs.a Emerson and Mitchells operatlc
Extravaganza of Hawaii, which will be
produced at City Hall Dec ID, IA, and
Is, by select corps of performers from
the Athletic Club with elegant ana
new scenery, capital orchestra and
comfortable folding chairs. Those who
have attended the rehearsals say that
Stage Manager James Gilbert is predict
ing a success that will leave injured
(nnocents" far in the background. 10
accomplish this feat will require some
pretty sharp "hustling," for we all Know
how good those performances were. The
ballet that won SO many encomlums
then will be largely increased in Hawaii,
many new and beautiful dances intro
duced under the direction of MIN B.
Gilbert, the distinguished professor of
dancing, and what is more, it is reported
that several of the dancers who will APP
pear for the first time are raving beau
ties, and we expect they will be over
whelmed with bouquets of violets and
roses, and boxes of Huyler's chocolates,
and that some of the irrepressible buds
of society, will haunt the stage door
after once they have seen them. There
is one thing certain. There is going to
be tremendous rush for seats, and those
who wait until the last moment Will
have to stand if they want to see the
show.
