success one does mind the work, for
the result is gained, and more
successful entertainment has not
been given by the Waimea school
lchildren than the one last Saturday
night, June eth You were asked to
come at 8 o'clock, but long before the
time the hall was filled by an ex-
pectant crowd. eager to take 1t all
in. The hall was nicely decorated
with fern leis, cocoanut leaves and
flags. and when the first piece on
the program-there were eighteen in
all-began with a flag drill and a
song. Beneath the Flag" a hush
fell on the audience. 1t was pretty
and so were all the others that fol-
lowed. for when you take into con-
sideration all the different nationali-
ties, the result seems wonderful.
The No. dialogue was amusing.
The Honey Bee song was pretty with
all the little girls dressed like Japan
csc maidens. No. 6 was song; the
melody was pretty and melodious and
the children sang 1t well No. s on
the program was farce in two acts
and Mrs. L. Nahum was the instruc-
tress, and 1t was splendidly done.
Our dear American girl is tired of
the same old thing. and she wants to
go in search Of something new, so
with her mother and an aunt she
travels to the Sultan of Sulu, who
wishes a wife. The scene is anus
ing. particularly when the graphic
phone is brought In and to see how
little the Sultan and his attendants
enjoy the modern ways of amusc-
ment. The makeup was cleverly
done. But the hit of the evening
was Romeo and Juliet" sung by
two little brothers. They were en-
clored, and sweet they looked, while
they most unconcernedly sang their
little piece.
The Broom Drill was splendid,
and the little commander surely felt
the Importance Of the situation. as
he stood on his high place.
In "The Minstrels" you were taken
to the Darkest Of Africa, and 1t was
certainly fine. for the performers en-
tered into the spirit of the piece with
all their hearts and soul. and the
bandmaster seemed to have led the
band all his life. The, Visit" was
cute. and when the little caller lisp
ingly said, well. dood-bye. have so
many tails to make" you could not
help laughing.
One OF the most impressive pieces
lon the program was the last one. a
Calisthenic Drill with a song. It-was
beautiful. The little captain intro
duced the children as the Waimea
School Flag, each child representing
by the color OF Its suit part Of the
red, white. and blue. and each color
coming to the front and then at last
taking their places with the little
ones nearest the stage. The idea was
taken from drill In New York,
! where 1000 children represented the
: flag. But when these SO children
sang the last song to the sweet mel.
ody Of Mai Poina De Ia'u." you felt
you had enjoyed every minute of the
time. The money raised will 60 tc
