SOCIALEVENTSOF THEWEEK

The Kilohana Art League has found
that it will be impossible to give a
Mardi Gras this year, and, instead,
are planning a social and patriotic
event that will take its place
The Promotion Committee have ac-
copied their offer to enter into the
patriotic entertainments for Washing
tons birthday, and have assigned them
a place in the Floral Parade. As part
of the official program, the League Will
give a curtain raiser and comedy at
the Opera House on the evening oil
February twenty-third The curtain
raiser will be "Washington's Birth
day." a clever and interesting little
sketch. and "Pygmalion and Galatea,
one of the finest comedies that nave
ever been staged.
From a historical standpoint, the
situations, as brought out in wash
ington's Birthday" are exactly as
represented. though they are not gen
orally known The staging of "Pyg-
malion and Galatea" is very ambl-
tious attempt, but the cast are all
working hard and have evry reason TO
hone for a decided success. Members
of the League are greatly interested in
the play, and many others have al
ready asked to have seats reserved
for them. All members are to be in
vited, but the balance of the house
will be sold to either members or out
siders
Some said that the Tuesday even
ing ''Play and Dance" at the Kilohana
! Art League was the best evning ever
spent in Honolulu-others declared
that they never had a better time in
all their lives. The faces started it
all and the supper made a good finish.
A list of the regular patrons of the
Dramatic Circle has been started and
as soon as Washington's Birthday is
over, each moon will see a repetition
of this kind of entertainment, which
though given as an experiment, has
| taken hold and promises to become
one of the most popular forms of To-
cal entertainment The members pro-
mise that at no time will there be
admitted too long a number, one of
the special features of the first affair
on Tuesday evening.
