difficult for me to attend to them
while oppressed with suffering. The
way in which I found relief eventually
was by using Doan's Backache Kidney

DENVER, June 9.-Denver has en-
joyed two Hawaiian quintets during
the past week beginning May 80 One
was headed by Kekua and came here
from Chicago, the other headed by J..
S. Ellis came in from the Pacific coast.
Both quintets are playing on the Con-
sidine- Sullivan vaudeville circuit. Ell
lis was at the Novelty for two weeks
with his four companions and a girl.
Two of his men he picked up in Salt
Lake City.
The quintet boys received a great
reception in the city and were APP
plauded literally at every performance.
1t doesn't seem to me though that
they are doing much good as an adj
vertisement for Hawaii however. They
have but one ukulele and the rest are
guitars and the evening I heard the
Ellis quintet they played but two Ha-
waiian songs. The boys all had fine
voices. l finally induced Ellis to play
a hula for old times sake and as an
encore and it made a better hit with
the audience than anything else he
played. I told him afterwards that if
they would stick to Hawaiian numbers
they would make a bigger hit than
with anything else. He didn't think so
though and said that the objection to
the hulas was that they were all the
same thing, just few bars of catchy
music and then repeat. 1t may be
true but Toni Toni certainly made a
hit. The girl danced the hula with
her back to the audience but she was
given half a dozen encores. Ellis told
me that they put on a hula at Keith's
in Boston and the police cleared the
house. He is well satisfied with the
result of the trip. He and his little
troupe stay at the best hotels and
seem to be making money. Chas.
Clark's son is with the Ellis quintet.
the other boys are from Salt Lake. 1

The following press agent notice"
of one of the quintets appears in the
Denver Post:
To give up home. family, friends,
riches, high honors in ones native
land, and even give up ones own coun-
try, surely there can be no greater
sacrifice than this, yet there is in Den

all these of his own free will to become

land with only four youths of his ma

X. KaIuani. whose father. because of
his high position in the affairs of the
islands before they were annexed by
the United States. now exercises great
influence in Hawaii, was the best per-
former on a guitar in a land where
even children are experts on all forms
of stringed instruments, but all his
skill served only as an accompaniment
for his beautiful voice. One evening
the leader of a band of strolling must
clans hear MIN and persuaded him to
sing with them. and Ka1uani became
infatuated with their life and the
haunting melodies they sang. Finally
there came a time when a big vaude-
Vile manager in the states heard the
quintet and persuaded them TO leave
the islands Young Kaluani's father
was heartbroken to see his son give
up his brilliant prospects, and offered
him a fortune in his own name and
any honor in his power TO remain at
home. But the boys heart was set on
becoming a great musician, and in
spite of pleadings and commands he
set sail for San Francisco.

the Coast. and has finally started on
