ADJUSTMENTS
Personnel of Pollards.


Now that the Lilliputians are near
" through with their dates here and
have made such another brilliant sue
cess as they did during their last visit,
theater- goers are beginning to talk
about the Pollard aggregation that is
to show here next month.
The company will be composed of a
bunch of the best that have graduated
from the Pollard school of training,
and that means that they have been
bred in stagecraft ever since they were
little, teenv, weeny kiddies.
Many of the members of the new
company will be remembered by thea
ter goers here Teddie Mcnamara will
graduate from the ranks of the Lilli-
putians next Thursday night and after
comedian. with all his young expert
ence to help him and the friendly help
of the older members of the company
to put him wise to the game.
The leading lady parts will be under
taken by Eva Moore, well-known for
her own successes as leading girl with
the Lilliputians for many years pre-
vious to 1903, when she graduated to
a senior company, but also carrying
much prestige as the sister of the ia
nous Carrie Moore, the English ae-
tress who created the Dairy Maid, the
Cingalee and the Sandow Girl.
Willie Pollard and Alfred Goulding
will alternate in the male leads. Gould
ing, as everybody knows. was the orig
inal comedian of the Lilliputians and
has been stage director ever since he
graduated. Willie Pollard was the Lii
liputian comedian when they first Wis
tied Honolulu. and will have many
friends here to remember him.
Jack Pollard, who has been playing
the title roles in the Williamson PAN
tomimes in Australia, is another Lii
liputian graduate who will take come
dian parts, and Fred Bindlos, whose
sweet singing made great hit with
the audiences at the Opera House four
years ago, will be one member of the
company whose voice will certainly
please.
The combination of an American
company seems to be a
great idea, and the fact that the mem
bers will meet and show for the first
time in Honolulu will place the local
theater-go on the same plane with
the almighty audiences of New York
and London where piece is made or
marred in one night.
Overend Will Manage fe-Theater.
Robt. M. Overend, president of the
Empire Theater Company, is the pro-
motor of the new cafe-theater PROPOSE
ton which is to be started on the Can
ton property, Hotel street, opposite the
new Empire Theater. Mr.. Overend is
now in San Francisco engaging at
fractions for both of these amusement
places, and it is understood that the
Coney Island scheme has not been al
together abandoned and that circus
company may also be included among
the number of surprises that he may
secure
1t is promised that what Mr.. Over
end secures for Honolulu will be first
class in every particular, his genial
manner ands straightforward way of
doing business having wen for him
many new friends, who, added to the
host of oldtimers, all of whom know
Bob Overend, makes him very pop
ular manager and promises well for the
future of clean entertainment in this
city.
The new Empire Theater is being
pushed ahead rapidly and will be
something very fine. 1t is understood
that both of the new enterprises will
be operated under the same control and
