Six vaudeville artists arrived this
morning on the Manchuria to open
the remodelled Empire theater tomor-
row night, at which time the altera-
tiCns will have been completed.
Among the new people are the glad
stone Sisters, whose acts are said to
he of exceptional interest and highly
entertaining. There is sleight-of-
hand performer whose mystifying acts
are equal to anything ever shown
here, and he has large number of
features which have never been seen
in Honolulu.
The theater will be ready tomorrow,
although there is much work to be
done, to transform the interior into
one of the most attractive in the city.
The stage is enlarged and will be
equal to any dramatic production
which Manager Scully may wish to
present. The walls have been tinted
and the seating arrangements have
been changed. Only opera chairs. are
rsed in this house.
The gallery section has a large
number of additional seats which were
put in after the moving picture cabi-
net was removed and placed further
back over the ticket office. A new
machine is to be installed so that the
pictures will be projected on the
screen as nearly perfect as possible.
