PROGRAMS OF THE
BEST THEATERS

Honolulu's cosmopolitan population
derives much entertainment from the
theaters, that is, those conducted by
the Honolulu Amusement Company
which concern furnishes the only
means Of theatrical entertainment
here-that is, clean, legitimate enter
tainment
The theaters under the manage
ment Of the Honolulu Amusement
Company are the Biiou, Empire, Sa-
voy, Park and Orpheum. The first
two give nightly performances of
vaudeville and motion pictures (Sun-
days eXcepteD, whilst the Savoy is
opened on Saturday evenings only.
The Park, located outside of the great
white Way" is only opened on rare
occasions, or, as the management But
it, whenever the general public
sees fit to support it. The Orpheum,
the company's most elaborate theater,
insofar as stage settings are con
cerned, is known as the house of le-
Ultimate drama and is only used for
stock companies and straight vaude-
vile acts. At the present time the
Orpheum is closed. Companies on the
way to Australia and the Orient or on
the way back generally stop off and
stage a season at the Orpheum.
The policy of the management in
running only two theaters nightly is a
very wise one, as they are able to put
up the very best at these theaters in
stead of having a number of poor
acts. At the present time the gen
eral manager is on the mainland re-
cruiting the best talent available, a
fact that has been recently noticed by
the theater-going public, as at the
present time the class of entertain
ment it better than it ever was, and
will keep improving as Mr.. Magoon,
at present in San Francisco, has a
number of fine acts engaged, which
he will send down as soon as they
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-10-21

finish their engagement there. That
Mr.. Magoon is determined to get the
best is evidenced by the fact that he
has secured the services of Miss May
Taylor, a celebrated singer known
from one end of the Eastern circuit
to the other. This well-known woman
arrived on the Sierra yesterday and
will open her engagement at the
Bijou on Monday night.
Whilst the genral manager is away
securing for talent, Manager Congdon
is watching the boats from Australia
and the Orient for good material, so it
can be readily seen that the Honolulu
Amusement Company is doing all
within its power to give the people Of
Honolulu all the entertainment posi-
Bile. Congdon scored a three-stike
when he secured for his company
Lucia Lottie Collins, who was going
through to Vancouver and only stop
ped over after being offered a very
large inducement to do so. Miss Col
Inns is without doubt the cleverest
woman seen on the local stage.
Both the Empire and the Biiou
have very good programs for tonight.
and it goes without saying that the
usual Saturday night crowds will turn
out. In order to accommodate the
public the shows start earlier on Sat
urday evenings, and they give three
instead Of two performances, so that
everybody can be accommodated.
The Biiou's vaudeville program for
tonight consists of three strong vaude-
vile acts-Tom Kelly, Early and
Fitch and Michael Braham and his
dog Bright Eyes" AS a glance over
this program will show variety and
spice; as a matter of fact, a program
that will please the most fastidious
Braham and his canine appear in an
act entitled Michael Braham and His
Silent Partner" The curtain is

note from Rraham's partner. who is
unable to appear at the show and so

some hesitation, he decides to try the
dog and use him as a stage partner.
They then begin the rehearsal which

The sister team, Early and Fitch
are two California girls who, have
made host Of friends during their
short engagement by the nice way in
which they conduct themselves on
the stage. Everything about their act
is refined, which goes to show that
the slang, "Oh, you kidd" and the like
is not essential to making their songs
a success. Their rendition tonight Of
the Glow Worm is well worth hear
ing.
Tom Kelly closes his engagement in
Honolulu tonight and will no doubt he
given rousing reception. Kelly's
season at the Biiou has been a very
successful one and he has been en-
cored time and time again nightly
ever since he commenced. Whilst
some of his songs were Old. he put
that Kelly swing" to them that made
them very successful He will be sue
ceeded by Miss May Taylor who will
make her debut on Monday night.
Miss Taylor is from the East, where
she is well and favorably known as a
sweet singer. She was for long
time on the Eastern circuits, and as a
critic put it, she has a fine voice and
is a very pretty girl" She arrived
by the Sierra yesterday and is al
ready fascinated with Honolulu.
The Savoy tonight will present as q
headliner Lucia Lottie Collins, or rs
she is generally known, Lottie Col
Inns, whose successful opening on
Monday night is still the talk Of the
town. This clever woman has been
admitted by all who have seen her to
be the best attraction Honolulu has
had in a long while. That her songs
are popular is shown by the fact that
the ones she sang on her opening
night are being humed and whistled
all over town. Her songs tonight will
be "Corsican Maid and will He
