the various entertaining events that
led up to a happy denoument. Girls
are supposed to be very much alike
the world over, but that Is hardly q
fact las once In while one finds q
girl like the heroine in Not Like
Other Girls and he knows that bro.
midic philosophy must take a back
seat. It was a. good comedy, and
with its accompanying films Of dra-
ma, story and serio-comedy made q
good evenings entertainment. The
feature repeats tonight, though there
will be complete change of the 9TH

Tomorrow night ushers in the first
showing in Honolulu of that much
discussed film, THE Romance Of the
Utah Pioneers. :, While this may by
some be considered merely an "Indi-

most people who are somewhat fani-
