AUDIENCE.

ANoNNi ptVety SoNSio Nico StAoSh-
er's four act Greek drama "Alcibiades,"
given in the Opera House last even
ing. Those who anticipated profess
sional portrayal Of professional
drama we're disappointed. Those ex-
pecting high class amateur work were
highly pleased and enjoyed the even
ing thoroughly.
The drama shows marked talent. The
young ladies taking the leading parts
demonstrated ability to interpret diff
ficult passages and hold the interest Of
the audience in the development OF the
pleasing plot The strong feature Of
the evenings entertainment was the
remarkably smooth course Of every de-
tail. The young ladies showed by their
work that they had heen trained in
manner that left no opportunity for
criticism. Each part was letter per-
feet. There was no hesitation, no con-
fusion, no untoward incident to mar
the even presentation or distress the
sympathies Of the audience. The stag
ing and costuming was characterized
by the same degree OF perfection.
The Opera House was crowded with
one Of Honolulu's most fashionable
and most critical audiences. II was an
assembly before which professionals
might appear with considerable appre-
, hension. The fact that some of the
young ladies were known personally
to most Of the audience did not lessen
the burdens which the Interpretation
Of a stage part places upon the ANA
teur. Each member Of the company.
however, gave that studied attention
to the work in hand with the ease of
manner and excellence OF speech that
can only be accomplished through hard
study under a most capable directress.
Aside from Miss Irmgard Schaefer.
Miss Lorna Iaukea easily carried the
honors of the evening. Her stage
presence and graceful manner were
| particularly attractive.
