cans in the same character two de-
cades since.
Miss Bertha Young, one of Alexan-
der Young's accomplished daughters,
makes her first appearance in opera to-
night, and she will surprise her friends
Her voice is pleasing, and, for a first
nighter, she has confidence and an ex-
cellent stage presence. At the dress
rehearsal last night she received great
praise from other members of the COM
pany for her capital rendition of the
part of IneZ.
William Levers, who sings the part
of Manrico, was heard here in the
Mikado several years ago, and gave
great satisfaction. At that time he
sang bass, but through the skillful
handling of Mrs. Turner, he has devel-
oped high tenor voice. Mr.. Levers
will be best heard in the duet with Mrs.
Turner.
r. G. Monteagle's rich baritone voice
will be heard to excellent advantage as
Count De Luna. There is but one
opinion as to Mr.. Monteagle's voice
and acting, and it is not an exaggera-
ton to say that there has been MOTH
ing but praise for him, not alone from
Mrs. Turner, but from every member
of the company and those who have
attended rehearsals. He has sung in
many gatherings in Honolulu during
the past few years, and he is pleas
antly remembered for the assistance
he rendered in <the "Mikado'' when it
was produced here.
George Smithies is we'll known as
tenor singer Of ability, who has done
excellent service in the choirs for years
past, and who added materially to the
cast of the "Mikado." Mr.. Smithies
has pleasing stage presence, and
knows how to act.
Ernest Ross is at once the tallest
and the possessor of the most won
derful bass voice in the country I'm
til Mrs. Turner took him under her
tutilage, he was not recognized as a
singer of more than ordinary merit,
but his talent has been developed to
excellent advantage. Mr.. Ross inher-
its his talent as singer from his moth
er, Mrs. George G. Ross, who has been
the leading alto singer in a church
choir here for years. When he renders
his solo tonight, he will receive an
ovation.
The orchestra will be under the di-
rection of Prof. Berger, and to him and
the members of the orchestra, Mrs.
Turner feels grateful for the assistance
rendered at the rehearsals.

her the best amateur singers in the
city, and after a consultation it was
decided to stage Verdi's I'll Trova-
tore" The extent of the undertaking
cannot be realized by anyone who has
not attended rehearsals, for while
majority of the members of the chorus,
both male and female, had some mus
zeal ability, there were others whose
knowledge of music and harmony suf-
fered by comparison with the volume
of their voices. To these her careful
attention was directed. The result, as
shown at the rehearsal last night, will
be satisfactory to the audience as it is
gratifying to Mrs. Turner, rejecting,
as it does, such credit upon her as
their teacher.
Mrs. Turner left here for Eu-
rope to study, and her debut was
made after several years study
with Wachtel as the Queen, in
''The Hugenots," at Edwin Booths
Theater, New York, in 1876. In the
cast was the famous American tenor,
William Castle, the beau ideal of the
operate stage. Her success was as
sured from that night, and she decided
to adopt the stage as profession. She
is known throughout the United States
and Australia, where she was always
a favorite, as the Hawaiian Nightin-
gale" Her appearance tonight will be
welcomed, not only by her Honolulu
school mates, but by many who were
her admirers when she was singing
with the celebrated opera companies.
The part of Leonora will be sung by
her with the same feeling and express
sion as it was fifteen years ago, for
her voice has not lost one whit of its
sweetness.

The work connected with the wiring
of the house has been under the per-
sonal supervision of Theodore Hoff-
man, General superintendent of the
Hawaiian Electric Company. This
gentleman was at one time Chief En-
gineer of the Electric Improvement
Company of San Francisco and after
wards filled a similar position with the
same company in San Jose, California,
from which place he came here little
more than two years ago. Since his
advent in Honolulu, Mr.. Hoffman has
revolutioniZed the system of electric
light wiring, and has rewired nearly
all the dwellings and buildings to con-
form with the rules of the Board of
Underwriters. He has also wired sew
eral of the Inter-Island steamers, and
will probabl wire the rest of the fleet.
He is a young man, but is admittedly
thoroughly competent in his profess
sion. Through his kindness, the Ad
vertiser is enabled to furnish the data
and information, as given above.

tropical trees and Towering plants.
From the branches of the tallest OF the
trees beautiful vines trail toward the
ground. In the center of the picture
and winding through the trees is
placid stream, on which boat, con-
tanning a party of young people on
pleasure bent, glides with the wind
and tide. One youth is engaged
in blowing bubbles, while others try to
catch them as they float away.
In the background stands the Palace
of Truth" an architectural gem, and
painted with an effect as to distance
that the building seems so far
away that there is but little be-
tween it and the azure blue of the
sky. The tout ensemble of the picture
is such that the eye will not weary of
it. no matter how often one sits before
it. A drop curtain such as the Pal
ace of Truth is, would tempt even an
old-timer to attend rehearsals for the
sake of getting an extra view of it.
A story is told of the late Dion Bou-
cicauIt and his idea of the drop cur
tain as an attraction.
MY friend he said, with his rich
Irish twinkle, they've a new drop cur
tain that's all cupids and lovers sit
ting on rock, with a stream babbling
past, and the audience would rather sit
on the rock than see me-"
The drop curtain at the New Hawaii

even to the old theater-goers.
Mr.. Porter tells very pretty lit
tie story in connection with this drop,
and it relates to the way in which he
received his inspiration and proves the
statements made that it is dreamy"

when 1 was working on the scenery in

severe attack of pleurisy, and could
not get my breath. In those days, if
you remember, bleeding was the chief
remedy for anything from corns to ap-
poplexy.
when l became unconscious, the
paint boy in the theater ran for the
man who did 'cupping, bleeding and
leeching' while you wait and brought
him over to the theater, and the man
began sticking a knife into my left
arm, but nc blood came, then he
switched over to my right, and out
came the particularly blue fluid with a
rush. / have considered since then

had a dream or saw a vision In the

of Theatrical Per-
fOrmanceS in Honolulu.

The San Francisco correspondent of
the New York Dramatic News, who
appears a perfect encyclopaedia of
theatrical events, contributes the fol-
lowing interesting bit of stage history
to the Alta California of June 27, 1881:
The Royal Hawaiian Theatre, Homo
lulu, after an interesting existence of
over thirty years, has recently been
demolished to make way for a more
substantial structure. 1t was dedicat-
ed July 18th, 1S48, the performance in
Guiding a Highland Fling by Henry
Macfarlane, and the comedy of "She
Stops to Conquer" with an amateur
cast which embraced Charles w. Vim
cent (stage manager), John S. Town
send, H Macfarlane, NJ. r. Harvey,
John H. Brown, Charles G. Hopkins
and Henry L. Sheldon. Mr.. Hopkins
personated the female characters. Mr..
Hopkins was for several years editor
of the old Polynesian, which was one
of the first newspapers published in
Honolulu. He afterwards occupied

Mrs w. w. Dimond, the Azucena of
the cast, has been considered since the
production of the "Mikado" seven
years ago, the best contralto singer on
the Islands, but the real extent of her
ability was unknown until she began
singing for this production. Her reg
lister covers easily three octaves; her
lower notes being marvelously well
taken and held. And what is not al
ways found among those on the lyric
stage both Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Di-
mond possess-dramatic ability. The
ater-goers of twenty years ago, in the
United States, will recognize in Mrs.

tague (Mrs. Charles Turner, that the
most appropriate manner of opening
the theater would be by a musical and
dramatic festival, covering a number
of nights, in which the best amateur
talent of the city would take part.
She mentioned it to Mr.. Irwin, who
approved Of it and gave the heads of
the departments connected with the
building instructions to supply Mrs.
Turner with anything she might re-
quire in the way of special scenery or
stage effects. She then called about
