UNIQUE ROYAL FEAST GIVEN IN

Once Week the Ruler Feeds A
His Subjects Who Care to At

One.

The new Negus OF Abyssinia- Ike
his predecessor on the throne before
him, gives public dinner to all OF his
subjects once a week, when they may
feast to their hearts content. On the
three annual festivals this "gheber"
becomes a spectacle probably I'M
equaled In the annals OF court dinners.
An Italian traveller who has been priv
ileged to be present describes 1t In
letter to the "Corriere."
The background OF the barnlike
structure which serves as dining room
is all but filled with the famous throne
bed which the French republic had
presented to the late King Menelek;
the present negus. on the occasion of
the state dinner, sat on the edge OF 1t

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
Satisfied With Miss Rockwell

1t can be safely postuIated that II
the production of a piece or the work
of performer or singer, pass muster
| in Honolulu, it is a badge of success
elsewhere, not only because merit is
recognized by cultivated audiences any
where throughout the world, but that
| the standard of merit is fixed high, and
none but the deserving are rewarded.
1t is gratifying TO refer here to the
career of Miss Maude Rockwell, the
girl who sang herself into the hearts
of Honolulans Monday night at the
| operahouse, when she rendered just two
songs She seemed to watt into the
| local atmosphere with instantaneous
favor and now all Honolulu is talking
of her sweet ways and beautiful voice.
! Miss Rockwell is endowed with high
clear soprano voice of great range, fexi-
bility and volume. It's tonal beauty and
expression have been the theme of
numerous press notices, as well as of
large following o. ardent friends all
over the United States.
| While Miss Rockwell has had thor
ough operate training, and has APP
peared in several operate organizations
with signal success, she inclnes toward
musical comedy and along these lines
| she has scored the greatest success in
| her career, thus far, as by temperament
and personality she has the magnetism
and presence to sway her audiences at
| will. Not only these, she has an IN
| stinctive feeling as to just what Will
| suit her audiences best, and she often
| changes her selections and songs at
| moment s notice in obedience to this
| happy presiding monitor. But this is
not all that Joel Cohen is offering IN
