ADJUSTMENTS
Art Theater.

All AAEoSO4s
There will be some fine attractions
at the Art today, and many more days
to come, all right. The proprietors of
this favorite amusement resort, being
wise in their generation, know how to
bide their time and to get busy at the
psychological moment.
By the Makura yesterday there ar
rived the famous Lessons, the most
startling and magnificent jugglers ever
seen in the antipodes or in Honolulu.
The two Lessons are male and female.
The Iatter's act is to stand around,
comedy-act and look pretty. The male
is iuggler and balancer of the front
rank. If you have heard of the cele-
brated Paul Cinquevalli, known
throughout the length and breadth of
the world, you will know what is meant.
These are the people whom Bailey &
Lawson, to whom they brought letters
from mutual Australian friends, have
engaged at a cost probably unheard of
in Honolulu theatricals. They will APP
pear at the matinee today, with two
performances every night, to continue
until the sailing of the Mauna Kea
next Tuesday, when they will proceed
to Hilo and appear a week or more
at the new and pretty Gaiety Theater,
also owned by the aboved-named and
enterprising theatrical proprietors
After this they viii finish up with an
other and entirely different act in Ho-
nolulu for the third and last week, and
will take engagement with no one else
in Hawaii
An exceptionally fine program of
moving pictures has been selected for
the opening performances today, the
title Of the feature film being 1.-The
Roue s Heart It is brand new film
by the American Microscope and Bio
graph Co., in perfect condition and
beautifully clear, proving indisputably
that you need not always go abroad
for good films; for not only is the sub
ject splendidly conceived and superbly
staged, but the moral it conveys to the
observer is most wholesome one. The
pictures are the best seen in this city
for many months.
A special stage to accommodate the
new performers has been erected, the
musical part of the entertainment has
had the most careful consideration. and
altogether the patrons of the good oId
Art are bound to show up and fill the
house to overlooking
Remember that there is no advance
in the prices of admission, and come
early. Two performances each night,
and time for all to take in the entire
show.

bers was to capture a toll gate house.
They bound the keeper and his wife and
stationed one of their number, dressed
in the gate keepers uniform, beside the
gate.
Rich Travellers Attacked
Peasants were allowed to pass on the
payment of the usual fee, but when q
prosperous looking traveller came along
a signal was given and the man was
attacked by the bandits concealed In
the house. The victims were bound
and robbed of their cash and then
locked in the attic of the gate keeper S
house or an outbuilding.
After forty persons had been robbed
the bandits gathered together the best
horses and made their escape, but
before they left they shot dead, in
sight of the others, a man named Faint
of Augustomo, who had offered re-
sistance.
The son of the gate keeper returned
late in the afternoon and released the
prisoners.
The German government has taken
up the matter with the Russian au-
thorities.

A wrong impression has been Great

Supervisors were alarmed at the al
legged financial confusion in regard to
the affairs of the City and County.
There is not member of the Board
of Supervisors, nor is the Mayor wor-
rying over the state of Honolulu fin
ances. The only consideration in mind
when Supervisor Quinn last night, at
the Board meeting. suggested that the
City and County go slow in the mat
ter of appropriations and expenditures,
was to have enough money left aside
for the improvement, repair, rebuild
ing and perfection of about half mile
stretch of road between Laie and Ka-
hama, on the windward side of this
island, for the sake of making the
tour of this island by tourists happy
event rather than a bumpy affair in

the job and will remove from the cir
cult of the island what is at present
a serious obstacle in satisfactory pro-
gress.

HUGE SUCCESS

The new Park Theater is going full

glory TO- as great as success as ever
attended an opening visited the Park.
All evening long the crowds came back

satisfied. The illumination of the
trees, fences and interior was unsur
passable. The music was excellent
being in the open air there was certain
spice to- the music which no interior
could give. The pictures were of
superior quality, in all they played
havoc with the critics of the new amuse-
ment. The rendering was perfect, the
pictures plain and not hitch obstruct-

tire is roomy, comfortable and realistic
Mr.. Werners face carried a smile and
he worked with a willing purpose to
make everyone as comfortable as pos

There is nothing tiresome in watch
ing the pictures such as is found in

and no uncomfortableness If the good
work is kept up the Park will enjoy
prosperity.
