ART LEAGUE
MUSICALE

~ HE KILOHANA Art League mu-
sicale last evening was brilliant
Il social success as well as musical
treat of unusual quality. Puuhonua, in
Manoa valley. was thrown open to
some two hundred and fifty guests. and
nothing that could contribute to the
/ pleasure of the occasion was omitted.
Special cars were run between the
hours of seven and eight and again be-
tween ten and twelve. Thoughtful pro-
: vision in the way of a guide for those
+ not perfectly familiar with the route.
was the stationing of Japanese along
i the divers paths to the house. The
CLEAN of their lanterns added much. as
: well. to the picturesque effect.
Even the night was suspicious. A
: refreshing GOODNESS prevailed. There
was 4 lack of the showers that are 50
often the order OF events in Manoa val
/ ley; and a glorious flood of moonlight
made absolute perfection of the view
which, from the approach to the Castle
home, is always of SURPRISING lowell
ness.
| Guests were welcomed at the en-
trance to the reception hall by Mrs.
Henry Castle and Mr.. Geo. Castle;
Mrs. Castle being gowned in a deep
cream crepe made empire with a, sur
plice effect that completed most
graceful toilet.
( Chairs had been placed in the draw
ing room, library and halls for the
seating of guests.
The first number on the program was
Gurlitts Capriccio, arranged for two
pianos, and rendered by Miss Elsner
and Miss Castle, with all that thorough
Z ,s.-t4-
musical taste for which both perform
ers are known.
THE Dream" by Mrs. Annis Mon
tague Turner, was a vocal solo with
violin obligato which followed; and
Mrs. Turner, who was in splendid
voice, delighted her audience.
Music lovers, after hearing the third
number-an instrumental solo by Mrs.
w. l.. Whitney-cannot but feel delight
that such rare musical ability has been
added to Honolulu's talent. Mrs.
Whitney's lingering is delight; and
her Interpretation of LISTS beautiful
"Gondoliera'' was all that, by the most
fastidious, could be desired.
The next number was omitted. Mr..
H. F. Wichman was to have sung MY
Memories" by Paolo Tosti, and it was
a great disappointment to many when
it was found necessary to forego the
pleasure.
"Mignon," a song which always
seems to bring out even more than 9TH
ers, the beauty of Mrs. Turner's voice.
was next rendered by her with unus-
ually pleasing effect.
The last number on the program was
a Sonata OPP. 13 by Grieg for the pipano
and violin, with Miss Carrie Castle at
the piano. There are few to whom
Grieg's music does not appeal. and the
violin in the hands of Prof. J. a. ANIME
made of this number one of the gems
of the evening.

Charles NJ. Cooke, Governor and Mrs
Sanford b. Dole, Mr.. and Mrs. w. Cas-
tie. Mrs. Selma Kinney, Miss Kinney.
