Pleasing Vaudeville at Empire.

Vaudeville of type that will doubt
less please Honolulu theatergoers will
be introduced at the Empire Theater
starting tonight, when in conjunction
with many new and interesting moving
picture films Miss Anna Gallon and
the Kalaluhi twins will make their mi
tial appearance at the popular Hotel
street playhouse.
Miss Gallon, who has won fame as
a prlna donna and concert singer, at
though on a pleasure trip around the
world, has been induced to accept
short engagement at the Empire where
she will doubtless add to her long list
of successes.
The Kalaluhi twins are coon singers
and melody makers of high class ana
should please those who enjoy popular
and coon' songs.
The Empire has recently undergone
extensive alterations and now possesses,
excep ing the operahouse. the most up
to-date stage and electrical appliances
of any theater in Honolulu.
\ marked improvement in the SUBJ
jects of pictures has also been made
and without advance in prices of ad-

Retailers Meet and Hear Reports of
President and Secretary, Which
Showed That the Organization Is
Doing Good Work in Mississippi.

The Fourth Annual Convention of
Mississippi, met at the Auditorium last
night with good attendance from all
parts of the state. The convention
was called to order by President w.
e. Laird of the local association, who
called on Rev. J. N. Mcmillan to open
the convention with prayer. Then
Judge John R .Talley delivered the
address of welcome, acting as a sub
stitute for Mayor Donald, who was un.
avoidably absent. Mr. w. d. Watkins
the secretary of the association re-
sponded to Mr.. Talley after which
President Pigford delivered his annual
address which was as follows:
To the Members of the Mississippi Re-
tail Merchants Association.
Gentlemen:-
We have come to another milestone
in our history, and when we adjourn
will enter upon the fifth year of AS
ISOLATION work in this state. During
that period there has never been a
time when We could look backward
with more pride or satisfaction or lock
forward with greater confidence and
enthusiasm than now. 1t is true that
We have just passed through one of
the worst financial periods in our
history. Yet we feel that this has
been an impetus rather than a hinder
ance to our work. | wish to state
that our work for this year has not
come up to my expectation, yet much
good has been accomplished. About
the only drawback the Association has
suffered since our last convention was
that of the loss of our state organizer
from some cause or other our National
President deliberately took Mr.. Foster
away from us and put him to work in
his own state. However, there has
been some work done in this line
since our last convention. which will
be covered in the report of the sec
rotary. l am truly glad to see these
many retailers attending this conven-
ton, it goes to show that the standard
of the live merchants of our state are
setting new pace in retail lines, that
they are progressive, and that they
realize the value of organization. The
most progressive retailers of today
are found among those with the abil-
ity to organize local associations for
