fellers and say that Miss Brissac and
John Wray, they owns this theayter
company, you know, had invited all
the Star-Bulletin newsboys to 90 to

the idea. especially after we was told
that 1t was going to be free. Last

about lao, ! guess. made tracks for
the Star-Bulletin Office, where the tel
Ter was g0in' TO give out the passes.

Royalty Received.
Well. about half-past seven, one Of
them fellers in the main Office opened
the doors. and we was herded down
Unto the mailing room. But the gang
got to acting up down there, broke
the steps, and finally this teller told
US to come up stairs. and he called
out our names and we come up and
got our tickets. Then we went over
to the Opera House
Mister Wray, Miss Brissac and one
Of the big bugs in the editorial shop
was waitin' at the, door. and sure ex-
tended us the glad hand-just like
them AID Club fellers did to the Hilo
delegates, although there wasn't no
pirates. Believe lnuh, there was class
to us, too. Gallery seats? Not on
your life. We all had seats in the
skoit coicle, where we could see and
hear the whole works. When they
got inside, the fellers acted mighty
coed, and. watched the people come
in and admired the big picture in the
front There sure was a lot of people
in there, and most of EN- was dressed
fit to kill. Them army officers looked
mighty swell, and two other fellers.
who forget their coats, had come in
their vests with sleeves on 'em, which
didn't look proper to me- Pretty soon
some fellers come out Of little hole
under the big picture, turned on some
li41E down ia 'front.' and began TO
tune up musicaI instruments. The
playing sounded all right but / know
a certain Punch0owl quartet what has
got EN- fadedate gloom. When the
music quit. some more lights come
on, and somebody pulled up the big
picture and the snow was on.
The first act was scene In a
house, and through the winder you
could see the lightin' fashin' and the
rain comm down. There was q girl
and teller outside lookin' in, and
when funny lookin' dame with a
sQueaky voice come downstairs and
opened the door for them, they seem
ed mighty glad to see each other. It
seemed as how the girl was sister
of one of the feller's pals. The girl
was sure good for look, and the guy
was all the candy too,I guess. The
house belonged to the feller's aunt,
and he had come from the city to see
her, while the girl had been riding in
q gasoline wagon which had become
stuck on the road, and she was lookin'
for the house so that she and the rest
could grab some kaukau. The Teller
seemed to take to the girl right from
the first and they was chewin' the rag
like old friends when the rest of the
bunch, who was with the girl in the
come in. The Teller knew
them all, il seems, and they give him
3 knockdown to the skirt. They had
some coffee, and then had to beat it, i.
because the dame with the squeaky /,
voice told them that the feller's aunt :
was gettin' up and that she was some
