spectators alike. There is absolutely
nothing immodest about the sport, and

About That Joy Ride.
At the Park Theater tonight will be
shown comedy pictures galore, and
laughter will follow laughter when the
first of the Simpkins Joy Ride is seen
1t shows the possessor of an auto, with
but little experience, out for ride, and
tells of the many difficulties he encoun-
tiers. 4 flight for Love- is the pic
ture story of duel with fists between
rival lovers. There is little of the SEN
sational about the series, but an object
lesson to young men that is worth re-
membering. stThe Curse of Gold' is
the history of the yellow metal that has
brought lots Of pleasure, but more mis-
cry, to the thousands who have chased
the rainbow. Ny Friend Dumphy't
and new musical speciality by new
faces will end the program.
The Art.
The management of the Art Theater
has for a long time past been planning
attractions for fleet month, and VITA
this in view has on hand an assortment
of the best films that have ever been
shown in Honolulu In fact, they have
too many on hand, and the feature film
for tonight will be one of the good ones
set aside for the entertainment of the
men of the fleet. The film in question
IL called 'SCohen at Coney Island, - and
it is scream from beginning to end
in fact, one of those good oldfashioned
side-splitters, beloved by old and young
alike. The films depict the diverting
experiences of a typical son of Israel
at the great New York pleasure resort.
He takes in every side-show on the
island and samples the pleasures of the
Midway, with the results which are
guaranteed to cure the worst fit of the
blues that ever afflicted a Honolulan.
The remainder of the program will be
well worth seeing; indeed, there ism t
a film on the bill. that is not of a very
attractive nature. The magaphone will
render popular selections between pic
lures. and the marvellous Lessos, who
are going stronger than ever since their
return from Hilo, will present new Jug
Cling acts. The wonderful rife shoot
ing of Mrs. Lesso continues to draw
crowds to the theater, and she will give
further exhibition of her skilled
craftsmanship tonight.
At the orpheum.
Wise & Milton IS vaudeville company
is proving a strong drawing card, and
the company certainly deserves to draw
1t IS long time since Honolulu has
seen a better entertainment than the
company furnishes, and every minute is
filed with laugh.
People who attended the performance
of Hogan s minstrel troup here several
years ago, viii remember Hen Wise as
member of the company. Wise has
now surrounded himself with com
pany Of more than ordinary ability, and
the performances which the artists are
giving leave little to be desired.
The program which the company is
rendering literally sparkles, and there
is not duh turn in the performance.
The show IS well worth seeing, and it
should draw generous houses.
