''This skit, Success TO Crime is GO
ing to be free from anything that
would bring any but joy weeps; it's
been made as a laugh promoter and
the little local talks, in which 1 take
part, would breed envy in the heart of
a San Francisco tot. Yes indeed, it was
written with a purpose and without a
plot. Manager Dougherty has arrang-
ed with Chief Thurston to have a hose
wagon at the Elks hall every night of
a rehearsal simply to be ready in case
the woodwork should take fire from the
flashes of wit that jump out at close
intervals. Yes indeed, it will be great
attraction to the people of Honolulu
who enjoy, what shall I say, refined
enjoyment? That expression is odd,
don't you think?
''All of the old favorites who have
