is looking forward eagerly to Car
men," on Thursday and Saturday
/ Many theater parties have been plan
| ned and representative gathering will
undoubtedly be present. The vivid cos
i TUNES of the play and the brilliant
/ spectacles of the opera win have hard
| work to vie against the modes of the
boxes and parquet.
| Aside from an unusually large num-
| Der of musical amateurs who are actual
I producers Honolulu society itself prac-
| tically constitutes a musical cult with
/ tastes of no mean order and the COM
| bination of performers and listeners
| has helped to make possible such per-
| formances as mariana" and Car
men" which, under Mrs. Annis Mon
| tague, Turner's effective control, pre-
sent the double charm of presentations
pleasing alike to the eye and ear.
| Carmen, with it's romantic story, its
voluptuous wealth of music and vigor-
GUS action set with the scenery and
| costumes of Spain, is a powerful at
| traction and the performances to be CIV
! en- bid fair to do all credit to Mrs.
| Turner and her associated amateurs.
1 Inc long weeks Oh WOAA
| by chorus and principals alike have
| now come to an end and the entire cast
| has achieved the confidence that be-
| tokens success. One more rehearsal to-
morrow evening and the players will
don the costumes of Old Castillo and
familiarize themselves with their
romantic trappings in a final dress re-
| hearsal on Tuesday after which all
| hands will rest until the curtain rises
on Thursday.
| Mrs. Annis Montague Turner's in
| dividual work is too well known to
need recommendation and many Of
| the singers have already endeared
| themselves to the music loving public.
| Some make their bow for the first time
| locally but the, night will prove the
| abilities of all.
! Mr.. Jocher, at the head of the clever
| Symphony Orchestra, makes in Carmen
| his farewell appearance to Honolulu
| and will be greatly missed after his de-
| parture. His sincere and effectual
work as leader will contribute no little
! towards the success of Carmen. w.
D. Adams, as stage manager, has also
been indefatigable in his department
and has rendered very effective share
| in infusing dramatic force and action
into the singers.
| Mrs. Turner has throughout been
very fortunate in her coworxers and
the triumph will be largely a collective
one. The presentation is practically
under the patronage of all the social
leaders of the city.

been held at the home of Princess Ka-
wananalzoa to decide upon an opera.
The decision will be arrived at this
week and active rehearsals start at
