The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-05-14

wAmUKU, May 1S.-Mrs. Jarley's
wax works we're presented by the
Women's Aid Society of-the Wailuku
Union church last Friday evening at
the wailul1u town hall. The affair
was most successful and greatly en-
joyed By the large audience. The
first part Of the program was a short
musical. Miss Mary Hoffman play
ed a piano solo. w. H. Field, who
sang in public for the first time in
many years, was encored on his Bells
Of St. Mary's." He has a good voice
and it is hoped he will favor the Maui
public again. The next number was
Miss Carrie scholtz's solo, 20 Beau
teous Night" Her voice is well
known for its clearness and sweet
ness. She was accompanied by Hugh
Howell on the violin. Robinson CRU
soe," funny piece, by Hugh Howell
was loudly applauded.
D. H. Case was Mrs farley He
filed the text with his usual dry re-
marks that kept the audience laugh
ing through the whole evening. He
was dressed as Mrs. farley should
be dressed, and his costume was much
admired. His voice was indeed fetch
ing. He was capital at showing off
the figures. Messrs Rose and Weick,
representing George and John respec-
lively, were the property men. They
were dressed for two fat negroes, and
perfect actors they were. 2. ]. Walk
er of Kahului was Blue Beard. His
Moorish costume was perfect. His
wives hung UP in the dark chamber
were Mesdames Warner and Dodge,
Misses Scholtz and Pratt. The Maid
Of Honor, Mrs. Judge Kingsbury, took
her part exceptionally well. It was
difficult to be sewing constantly in
the most jerky sort Of fashion with
her great needle. H. B. Penhallow
was Captain Kidd, and he made fine
one, looking quite savage with his
long saber.
Mrs. farley then showed in rapid
succession DR.. Gall &C. c. Clark, who
was most doctorf1ed; Eng, Siamese
Twin, who was played admirably by
J. ]. Walsh; Patriotic Group. in which
Mr.. Washington's part was taken by
Enos Vincent, and Georges part by
II. A. Wadsworth. It was an excellent
group. Josephus was typical in Mr..
Rodgers, Policeman No. 2049 seemed
Just off the beat as VIM. s. Mount
castle was brought on the stage, while
roars of laughter greeted e. o. Born
who took the part Of Mermaid. He
mechanically combed out his long
tresses made of yards and yards of
rope falling down over his shoulders.
Signorina Scriecherini (Mrs. D. H.
Case) acted just like a machine, for
she took no end of winding up to go
at all. In the middle of her song she
broke dow IN and the singing ended
abruptly.
VIM. Penn (E. G. Warner) and Ma
poleon &C. E. Copeland) seemed to
have stepped right out of the history,
while Samson wv. H. Engle) was very
wild with his big jawbone in his hand,
end his tiger skin over his neck.
fudge Mckay made an excellent King
Cophetua, and was rugged out in most
striking regalia, while the beggar
maid mrs Frank G.. Crawford) was
as pretty as a picture Alfred. Martin
sen as Telescope made lots of fun and
Charles j. Schoening was perfect
politician. He YVES rugged up with
enormous electric lighted studs and
rings that, made him the flashy poll
tlcian ne represented. The last group
scene was that Of Othello and BESIDE
mona. Mrs. e. o. Born took BESIDE
mona's part and was fine. No one
would know w. Leslie West as Othel.
10, he was 80 disguised. His part was
well taken. Mrs. farley got off a long
spiel about the last piece, which was
the Gladiator, represented by Rev.
r. B. Dodge. He was built out with
a long Roman nose and tremendous
muscles.
This presentation was easily the big
gest stage performance ever given in
Waikiki by local talent. The com
mittee composed of Mesdames H. B.
Penhallow, o. ]. Whitehead and w.
Fl. Field worked hard Several pub
lie rehearsals were held. The appre.
citation of the audience was a good
incentive for further amateur work
of similar kind
The Boston Singers.
The McWatters quartet Of Boston,
that has been so successful in the
concerts given in Honolulu and Hilo,
stopped over on Maui last Friday
