Miss Ethelinda Schaefer's play, al.
cibiades". met with great success on
Tuesday evasing. II was very ambi.
tious attempt for a girl of seventeen,
but, in the hands of this clever young
woman, the play proved charming In
every detail. The parts were taken
with good conception of the Greek
characters and the scenery was most
realistic. No one can appreciate how
hard this young girl must have worked
to bring the different characters into
harmony. and the greatest praise must
be bestowed upon Miss Ethelinda Scha-
efer for her smooth Interpretation of a
classical play. We shall expect great
things Of her in the future, from this
beginning. She has the temperament
and imagination, and an attractive per.
sonality, which will do much to pave
the way to fame. She acted her part
well and seemed to enter into the spir.
1t OF the old Greek atmosphere. All
the parts were very well carried out
and showed faithful study.
We hope Miss Ethelinda will give us
another play, for she has proven with.
out doubt her ability to fill the Opera
House to overlooking with an enthusi.
astic audience, and that In itself Is a
great success, for Honolulans will not
turn out unless they think 1t worth
time, as many a professional company
could testify in the past.
