THE THEATERS

New Talent for Honolulu Amusement
Company
The Sierra, arriving tomorrow
morning, will bring a number of new
acts for the Honolulu Amusement
Company's theaters Principal among
the new arrivals will be the Goldens,
high class vaudeville team, the fe-
male member of the team being a ven.
triloquist of exceptional ability, be-
sides possessing a beautiful soprano
voice. Her husband is violinist of
the first rank and renders classic
as well as ragtime selections. These
people were on the Orpheum circuit
when engaged by J. H. Magoon on
the Coast They will make their first
at the Empire tomorrow
night, which theater will feature mo-
ton pictures tonight in conjunction
with Warm and Warm, who are billed
for a change.
On the way are four Russian
dancers who will give a short season
of dancing at the Bijou. They were
with Madame Parova when she made
her phenomenal hit on the Coast re-
Gently. Their dancing will be a de-
cided novelty here. Further an
nouncement in regard to these ia
nous dancers will be made in a few
days.
Cunning, who has been performing
seemingly impossible things at the
Bijou, will put on the "Crucifixion
feat tonight. In this act he will be
handcuffed and shackled and placed
on cross with his hands extended,
much after the fashion of the crucifix-
ion, and will release himself in a few
minutes. Besides this act he will
perform many illusions and sleight of
hand feats. Mile. Edmonda, she of
the mind-reading propensity, will pre-
sent her specially entitled "Karmas. -
All skeptics are specially invited to
witness this act.

her line as her husband is in his. She
has selected Irish folk songs for her
opening program. Pere.ra and his
quintet will render a program of clas-
sic selections tonight. The Grahams
will appear in acrobatic novelties that

KAUAI SOCIAL NOTES.


LIHUE, April 2.-On the afternoon
of the 25th of March there was an in
formal meeting of the promoters of a
new social club at the home of Mr..
to be known as the Grove Farm
Neighborhood Club, to meet once
month in rotation at the homes of
the members. The purpose of the or
gGnization is to promote spirit of
sociability and good fellowship and
prevent the development of lines of
clearage or class feeling So far IS
we have learned there is little or no
organization, no officers, no dues, no
constitution and bylaws, and by one
condition of membership, viz: do
your share and take your turn?"
The hosts on any particular occa-
sion may write limited number of
guests outside the membership of the
club. The membership of the club is
as follows: Mr.. G. n Wilcox, patron;
Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Lydgate, Mr.. and
Mrs. f. Broadbrent, Mr.. and Mrs. F.
Carter, MT and Mrs. r. l.. Wilcox, Mr..
and Mrs A. d. Hills, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
de Bretteville, Mr. de Lacy the Misses
Mumford, Ayre, Jordan, Wells, Roscoe
and Albright.
This is a most cOmmendable new
departure, the influence of which can
! not fail to be beneficial Long may
the Grove Farm Neighborhood Club
prosper and many be their festive
gatherings.
