applauded, to equip any ordinary three act show In fact, when the first curtain had gone down to d salvo of applause the remark heard was: They cant keep the pace they have set. They must have crowded everything into the first act. I'm afraid the finish will be tame--iJ cant help being after such a first act send-off.' Yet the pace was kept mp without falter to the end and as a result Little Memo crossed the line winner not only at the first act finale, but the second and the third and last, to hearty and we'll deserved plaudits. It was fun that was funny, comedy that was comical, humor that was humorous, with q trio of mirth provoking comedians carrying it through in Messrs Cav thorn, Kelly and Van"

 The well known Irish Actor Andrew Mack, who will be here Wednesday and who has just returned from a tour of the world, while on his tour played an engagement in Honolulu which he was not booked for but which was forced upon the popular actor by the enthusiastic citizens of that city, and which proved to be a success in every way. MT Mack tells of the engagement in the following manner:
 We left San Francisco on the Oceanic steamship Sonoma on March 7, 1907, in a terrific rain storm. Of course at the dock I had number of my friends to see me off, and l can assure you it was very enthus- iastic leave taking, because we were all Irishmen, and if the Irish are anything they are enthusiastic eff they like you.) So I paid my re- spects to my friends on the dock in cheers and au revoirs. The only thing of note that occurred between San Francisco and Honolulu was the thought where I was going to be on the 17th of March. looked all over the boat and found number of Ger mans, a number of Englishmen, some Americans (and I thank God) seven teen Irishmen. So I dismissed the thought and said it's all right. we will have the green water all around us. with seventeen Irishmen and my self, some Americans and enough Englishmen on board to make it interesting. After five days we got to Honolulu and I might say here that it is the garden spot of the earth. We arrived in Honolulu early ! in the morning and we were sched- uled to leave at 530 in the after. noon, as they only take off and put on freight there. So I got a motor car and went out to visit all places of interest and I hiked me to Wau. kaka beach, where I enjoyed the pleasure of surf-boat- bathing. They put you in a little canoe and take | you away out where the rollers be. gin on the coral reefs, say mile ol a mile and half on the crest of the waves, and talk about a sensation : It is new way of shooting the chutes. In the midst of all this oul boa tman told us that somebody wa! waving frantically from the shore and I said it cant be for me; the boat don't leave until 5:30. Int boatman brought us into shore where was surprised to find my manager who said:
 You want to get out of the wate as soon as you can, for we will giv' a play here tonight.
 Play here tonight" I said "Wh. I was not booked to play here an,
 how can we give a play when W,
 have no scenery and the boat leav

 'I said How do they know ar here?" "I don't know, he said. but W

 We can't play here" I said, w

 We will use the stock scenery i the theater" he replied,
 How about the costumes" l ask , ed?"
 '"I have had some taken up frol
 the boat he replied.
 We have no music, l said "'I have arranged for all that h answered The greatest trouble have had is in finding you. Well, the curtain went up 2 6:30 and sure enough we gave th
 performance, and they held the boG there until 10:30 at night, and or receipts were something like s1,90 3 with one of the finest audience have ever played to. You can in 7 agine how pleased 1 was to feel ths r somebody away from home was
 kindly disposed towards me and m l stage Irishmen as to- complfmnet n : to that extent. I found out afte ) wards that in Honolulu they haN r got division of the Ancient Ord' 5 of Hibernians and to them l am il debted for my successful debut /, Honolulu"
