Whenever any enterprise of
great pith and moment is advo-
Gated by the elite, society never
gets excited, as that would be con-
sidered bad form. Dignity, de-
corum and reserve are at par and
the grand danes simply futter,
and Saturday evening was the oc-
casion of the most recherche hut-
tering. The event was the presen-
tation of two plays at the Opera
House by the Kilohana Art Lesg-
ue's Dramatic Circle and shortly
before eight o'clock the neighbor-
hood presented a scene of beauty
with delicate laces and ermines,
queenly silks and satins. AS Car.
rage after carriage rolled up to
the entresol, fair maidens and
matronly danes, attended by es-
cortsin the full splendor of evening
dress, gave an air of brilliancy to
whilom dreary surroundings and
a feast to the eyes of the crowd of
spectators who fingered near the
entrance. All classes were repre-
sented and by the cream of each
strata of the social world. Reli-
gion, law, the army, navy and the
sciences wore their best fronts,
and the large number of visiting
strangers were convinced that
Honolulu is no mean rival when
put to the test in social amenity
and cordiality.
The comedies presented were
of an exceptionally fine degree OF
merit and were rendered by the
players with an air that did not
require the ordinary indulgence
of regard to amateurs.
The first was "By Way of a
Joke" and the cast was as follows: I:
| Mr.. Bertram...........Mr. Andrew Adams
Jack Dunstan.... .............................
MIR. Alexander st. NJ Macintosh
Reginald vivian. ,...........................
| ..................Majo jor George G. Potter
| Dora Bertram, ,....Miss Adele Widdifield
Sylvia Hartford, Miss Edna Kelly
| Mary, ,.....................Miss Pauahi Judd
Most of the performers had held
up the mirror to nature before
and it was generally known what
they were capable of aud the aud
fence centered on those who were
newcomers. In this rank, Mr..
Andrew Adams was a revelation
as "Mr. Bertrsm" and from the
first showed that he was entirely
at home in the character, not from
the mere fact of rehearsal, but
from nature. He was entirely de
void of mannerisms, cool in his
every phase and apt in the fun
making role that was his. From
the beginning he was with the
audience and the audience was
perforce with the comedy. In
fact every one OF the
cast was good and each
We'd with the other in presenting
an unbroken line of delicate lightt
and shades.
1.-THE False Note" was success
fully uttered and in such man
ner that the audience cashed il
before they discovered any trace
of false publication. This charm
ing little sketch was presented
with the following cast:
Major Judkins... G. Forster
Granville Crawley,. ey,......................
..................Major George c. Potte
Percy Fem, Mr.. Andrew Adam
Miss Judkins,. Miss Edna Kele,
Miss Elizabeth Partridge. .......:.....
....-.....,...Mrs. II. ID. Walbridg,
Alice Carey,......-......Mrs. Il. ID. Tenne,
Lucy, .......................Miss Juliet KIM
In this, as in the first event, th,
listeners were treated to an agree
able surprise in another new
face. Mr.. @. M. V. Forster, al
"Major Judkins," and the judg-
ment in general upon Mr.. Adams
was accumulated in the applause
and recognition given Mr.. Forster
The other characters were tho
roughly sustained and each ant

they may again be called on to re
