TOY SHOP
ONCE MORE
Charmed Its Second
Audience Last
Evening.


Shop at the Opera House last even
ing was greeted by larger and, if
anything. a more enthusiastic audience
than on the first night. The perform.
ance ran smoothly and almost every
musical selection was encored. The
| performers, adult and young, large and
| small, played their parts well and
scored a really brilliant success. The
| greatest measure of the success is, of
course, due to Miss Martin, whose Won
derfuI control of children and her
| splendid instruction gave an element
| of stage work which lacked many of
| the usual amateurish characteristics of
such performances. Miss Martin di-
| rected the orchestra which was COM
| posed largely of Symphony Society
members.
| A new singer in Honolulu made his
| first appearance on the local stage on
| Thursday evening. Mr. Hastings, mu,
sic instructor at Oahu College, playing
the role of the Toy Maker, showed
4
actor He is a welcome addition to the
musical colony of the city. In the
| comedy class, Jamie Wilder, assisted
| by the two Cooke boys and Willard
| Brown carried off the honOrs. The
Cookies and Jamie We're star perform
| ers in the Hasty Pudding Club at col
| Iege, and they sustained their old rep
| utation AS Noah Mr.. Wilder was in
/ his element, and the Cookies and Mr..
| Brown did many comical stunts. Rey-
| mold McGrew Willie Raseman and
| Allen Renton were inimitable as the
| trio of fops, and in their seXtet songs
and dances with the little misses,
| Thelma Murphy, Helene Spalding and
Fannie Hoogs, they made a distinct
hit. Coleman Schwartz was excellent,
both in makeup and in song. Marcus
Monsarrat's imitation of Berger, as
leader of the band, was a. laughable
performance.
Those mentioned after the first per-
formance sustained their first sue
cesses.
The names of the Gingerbread Dolls,
the Candy Dolls and the Bargain
Dolls We're Inadvertently omitted from
the list of characters in the mention
of the play in this paper yesterday
as we'll as in the program. In some
way that of the clown and the baker
were also passed over but the impress
sion their part of the performance last
night made upon the audience was so
marked that there was no overlooking
them this time and they are given below.
Miss Margaret Hopper, who did so much
to bring the musical part of the pro-
gram to perfection, is entitled to more
credit than could be given in the con-
fines of an article on the play. Miss
Hopper's name was one of those on
the copy that was in some way mislaid
and the omission of her name from
both program and newspaper was pure
ly accidental. The additional names
are:
Bargain Dolls-Marguer Wadman,
Juliette Atwater, Alice Hoogs. Helen
Boyd, Adelaide Santos, Agnes Aylett,
Ida Merseberg, Abbie Merseberg, Nor
