The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-02-05
ADJUSTMENTS.

The dramatic evening to be given by
she Kilohana Art League on February
90, in place of the Mardi Gras, prom
Sses to be a very successful one IN
every way. The entertainment for the
evening will consist of a curtain
raiser, "Washington IS Birthday" and
a three-act comedy, "Pygmalion and
Galatea."
This comedy is one of the very best
Greek plays known, and has been
staged with great success by such well
known companies as those supporting
Mary Anderson and Fanny Davenport.
The action Of the play is good and
plentifully sprinkled with humorous
situations which do not retard it in the
least. The stage setting is being car
ried out faithfully in every detail to
give a correct idea of the typical sculp
tors studio in Athens at a time when
seulptors were more numerous and the
profession of the arts had a larger fol-
3owing than is the case in any city of
today.
The rather "unusual occurrence of
a statues coming to life gives food
for much thought and more mirth, and
furnishes the vital point of the whole
play. Then there's serious side, of
course, and some choice bits of very
refreshing philosophy, and altogether
it's a play that is worth going to see.
Y. M. G. A. Exhibition Tonight.
Some one has said Exhibits are
heralds of progress; they mean action
and action means life.' The adver-
Using exhibition at the Y. NJ c. A. |
today and tomorrow is an indication
of life, and it will be a herald of
progress in local advertising, leading
10 more scientific and intelligent eff |
forts to promote business through pub |
iieity 1t is something out of the
ordinary, and should prove of real |
value. The Y. NJ c. A. has done con-
siderable work to give the business
men something worth seeing, and the |
result of their efforts will merit a |
visit.
The show will be interesting from |
an artistic point of view as well as |
business one, for the calendars shown |
are the best, and form very attrac- |
Awe feature. The novelties, too, are |
full of suggestions.
The Association rooms will be open |
60 the public after twelve o'clock
aoon, and there is no admission |
charged.
Philippine Band Today.
The Philippine Constabulary Band,
one of the finest musical organizations |
in the world, will arrive on the Buford |
today and give a matinee and evening
concert at the Opera House.
The Buford is due early this morning, |
but if she should be delayed for any
reason so that she is unable to dock be- |
fore half-past two this afternoon, the |
matinee performance will be postponed |
till tomorrow afternoon. The concert |
for this evening will be given in any
event, unless the Buford should not |
get in at all today.
In case the Buford should arrive too
@te for announcements in the afternoon
papers, those who hold tickets may find
cut the time of the performance by
calling up either the Bergstrom Music |
Go. or the Territorial Messenger Ser
vice.
There are still few choice seats left |
for early corners today at the Berg
strom Music Co., but the indications |
are that the s. r. o. sign will be dis |
played at the Opera House before the |
curtain rises.
The Empire Theater.
There is to be more room at the En- |
pire TO accommodate the crowds of peo-
pie who patronize that favorite amuse-
ment place. The pictures there draw
the crowds and the management thinks |
Ut is up to the owners to supply seats. |
This will be done shortly, and there
viii be no more grounds for complaint
about not being able to get, seats.
The Gem.
n there is any question as to the
popularity of the Gem Theater, the
doubling Thomases should go take a
Hook in. The place is crowded with
people who enjoy looking at pictures
Shat have life. Pictures which bring
Europe and the United States clear to
Hawaii. The music at the Gem is al
ways good, and with the addition of
splendid program of pictures the audi
anees are satisfied.
