JULES WALTERS A SUCCESS
"HOW Hopper was Sidetracked" Wit
messed by Hundreds.
Vaudeville Promises Well-Iuitial Performance
Brings Forth Mirth and Laughter
Players and Their Parts.

1t. IS an assured fact that II the
management of the Orpheum
theatre continues to bring to Ho-
nolulu such vaudeville companies
as that Of Jules Walters, the pa
tronage of Honolulu people will
certainly be continued. The show
is an excellent one having in its
repertoire, plays calculated to
please and to create mirth aud
laughter on all sides. This was
shown Saturday night, when the
Jules Walters Company presented
"How Hopper Was Sidetracked."
The Orpheum, recently enlarged :,
was crowded to the doors. Not a
seat was left aud standing room
was hard to find. The play be
gan promptly and the curtain rose
on scene along the Yukon. 1t
WAS not long before Jules Walters
appeared dressed in heavy winter
clothes, huge fur lined coat, a
tight fitting red cap and heavy
boots. From that moment, the
laughter began.
Jules Walters is certainly an
ideal fun maker. Although the
witty speeches and j,kes in the
play are without end, Mr.. Walters
got in quite umber of his own.
He is very active on the stage,
never losing his cue for single
instant. He makes a speech here
and apother there, a jump aside,
bow, elances in one direction and
another and then disappears
from the stage, leaving behind a
laug audience. That he is
becoming acquainted with II waii
nei was shown ia his two remarks,
"Wela ka hao" and "pilikia," de-
cidedly apropos where be brought
chem in.
One OF the best things on the
program was the "mus,c lesson"
with Jules Walters as instructor
and Louise Llewellyn, the leading
lady, as pupil.
Miss Llew4llyn is perfectly at
home on the stage and did her
part very we'll as Priscilla Keat-
ing Saturday night. In the last
act she sang 81 dreamed that l
dwelt in marble halls" James
Fulton as Donald Gum, the vii
lam, was very good. Geo. Hanna
played the part of tool to Donald
Gum in fine shape. Florence
Webster as the bousekeeper and
Frank Hartwell did their parts
we'll. "a
Myrs Jefferson as Mollie
Murch is a clever little actress.
Her negro songs were very we'll
done. One fact characterizes the
work of Miss Jefferson. She
throws her whole soul into what
she does. If her point IS to as
sumo tough" attitude, she does
it, but refrains from trying to look
"pretty" at the same time.
you're a cheap man." negro
song, was the best thing she did.
There was hint of coon shufflA
at the end. The audience was
rather disappointed that the hint
did not materialize into something
more substantial. The came
might be said in the case OF Jules
Walters when he gave just hint
of jew cake walk"
'IVanhoe" Allen in his "Couldn't
beat Ivanhoe" was most musing
He very clevely picked out people
10 the audience and to the astoDieh-
ment of all present, made up
verses about them and sang along
as it he had com mitted the whole
thing to memory before taking the
stage, Sam Parker, G, s.. Das ky,
G. H. w. Norton, Purser Hayden
OF the Garonne and "two young
men down in front" as we'll as
Others, were picked out.
A very pleasant feature of the
evenings entertainment was the
piano PLAYING of Michael Magel,
musical director Of the Orpheum
Eheater. He is certainly talent
ed player as was shown by his
work Saturday night.
