KILOHANA ART
LEAGUE DRAMATIC

EDITOR STAR: A few words about
the play 'Pygmalion and Galatea," as
given by the Kilohana Art League
do not wish to enter into a discussion
upon the merits or the dement's of the
actors that took part in this play
but will say that as far as | could see
there were none of them that should
be criticised very much, and there were
others that were as seemed to me eX-
ceptionally good
But | would like to say word about
the object of the Kilohana Art League
and which is of more Importance than
the merits or ability of the actors or
the acting, and which object is to ele-
vate the tone and sentiment of the pub
lie by presenting to them only sucn
plays as will teach them to appreciate
higher ideals, and more of the refine
ments and elegances of life. They
may not succeed to any great extent in
this but no one will deny but that this
is a laudable object, and something
badly needed here. In regard to the
ambition of these actors, will say that
there may be something in that, but
ambition is no great fault. Indeed it
were better to be too ambitious than
not ambitious enough. And bad as
they may be they seem to me to COM
pare favorably with such professional
actors as usually come here, and in
some instance, some of our best local
amateurs, seem to surpass them.
At any rate the plays of the Kilohana
Art League are noted for the high
moral tone, and for the beauty and ex-
cellency of the plays they are in the
habit of presenting to the public, and
which should count for something.
This unfavorable criticism of the Adj
vertiser has had one good effect and
that is to determine the Kilohana Art
League to present, or play only high
class plays which represent high ideals
and a high moral tone.

KOHALA, February 24.-The Ko-
versatility by producing Chas Gabriel's
Operetta Pauline at the Social Hall
on Saturday evening, February goth.
They were greeted by a large and
enthusiastic audience, Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather.
The brilliancy of the costumes and
the general scenic effects could not be
questioned by the most fastidious.
Mrs. J. w. Gum IN charge of the
musical part of the program proved
a host in herself and materially as
sisted in the successful results OBJ
tanned, for the performance was an
artistic success from the rise of the
curtain to the fall.
Mrs. B. d. Bond as Pauline made
quite a reputation, by her good and
careful work, and somewhat surpris-
ed her friends, by her vivacity, ana
clever Interpretation of the part. Mrs.
A. Guild as Kiemi the fortune teller,
certainly looked and sustained the
character, her vocal item demonstrat-
ed voice of more than amateur abil-
ity. Miss Gesell as Guile" and Miss
Girvin as "Cnickle" surprised every
one by their particularly clever comedy
work. The Lullaby" by Mrs. He. Aus
tin proved to be the gem of the even
ing, and we hope to hear more of this
artists fine trained voice in the fu-
ture.
And upon Mr.. E. c. Vaughan as
"Faber," a New York journalists, fell
the onus or the work of the evening,
and he handled it admirably, self inn
portant and happy go lucky he fell
in with the many complicated situa-
tions arising, extricating himself from
little difficulties, and pleasing every
one generally in the end. OF the varl-
Gus songs allotted him none called
for any display OF vocal ability, which
seemed a pity, as this gentleman pos
sesses a fine tenor voice, his clever
acting however made up for any short
comings IN this respect, demonstrate
