The following explanatory remarks
may not be amiss:
The word hula in the Hawaiian
language means dance, and ''huia-
hula" a dancer. The hula-hula dance
presented in this act represents the
dance of spring flowers. or the celebra-
tion of the first flowers of spring.
The "ieis'' or wreaths of flowers
worn about the neck by the Hawaiians
and women in Hawaii A special sig
nificance of friendship is shown by
presenting one a lei or wreath of
flowers. When Mr.. PiXley returned
from Hawaii, where he went twice to
secure material for the first act of
this piece, he was presented with
eight leis by admirers as he went on
board the ship.
