bile party in honor of DR.. and Mrs.

A performance is going to be given
in the Opera House on February is
which will be something unique,
at least as far as Honolulu is con-
cerned. 1t is to consist of a series of
tableaux taken from Lewis Carroll IS
immortal works, fAlice in Wonder
land" and Through the Looking
Glass;" with songs between the tab
leaux, the words of which have been
taken from the various poems occurrin G
| in these two books. The music is the
| composition of Liza Lehman, the
| gifted composer of "In a Persian Gar.
| den,' and those who are familiar with
| this latter work will know that mu
| steal treat is in store for them. The
| tableaux will be based on the illustra-
tions of John Tenniel, familiar to all
able supervision of Mrs. Hastings
which is sufficient to guarantee the
success of the entertainment. Homo
lulu will have an opportunity of see
ing in the flesh such old friends as the
Walrus and the Carpenter, Tweedledum
and Tweedledee, the Queen of Hearts
the Duchess, and many other familiar
characters. The music is as humorous
as the words, and the best available
amateur talent of Honolulu has beer
secured. In addition to the music OF
Liza Lehman, several songs from
Rudyard Kipling's "Just So Stories,S
composed by Edward German, will be
/ given. All. this music is absolutely
new in Honolulu and is bound to catcf
on. Twenty-Five or thirty children, a:
well as adults, will take part in the
tableaux, and one of the attractive
features will be a ballet advertisement
The committee consists of Mrs L. Ten
ney Peck, Mrs. Hastings, Miss Schaefe,
and Mrs. Potwine, and the entertain
ment is in aid of Iolani School -Thos,
who have not read the Alices or Kip
hng's "Just So Stories' had bette
get busy before February IS.
