are all ambitious and the chorus is
merely stepping stone to the goal
which every entree into the theatrical
business looks forward to.
Joel Cohen was unusually fortunate
in getting together such an aggrega-
ton of girls for the background of
his principals but he accomplished it
through remunerative means and
strategy. In fact they are the kind
of girls that theatrical managers are
always looking for but very seldom

UP FRONTAGE
TAX PETITION

In businesslike shape that might
well be adopted as model by prop
erty owners Of other districts is the
petition TO the board OF supervisors

Laimi roads, Nuuanu valley, under the
frontage tax law.
According to their reading of the
law the petitioners define the district
Tor frontage tax purposes in the
premises, stating that they are own
ers OF more than 10 per cent of the
area designated by them. Neverthe-
less the petition is held up by an
opinion of Deputy City and County
Attorney Weaver, on the ground, it
is stated, that more than one road or
street cannot-be made the subject OF
action under the frontage tax law.
From this opinion two attorneys, one
OF whom drew the petition, strongly
and firmly disagree.
What is requested in the petition
is the improvement of the total length
Of street described, which is 2275 feet,
''by grading, draining, curbing with
cement curb and macadamizing with
asphalt macadami A detailed esti-
mate made by Jas. T. Taylor, c. E,
one of the petitioners, places the
cost of the entire work at $635S, the
various items being set forth in the
potion.
A schedule Of the proposed assess,
ment to cover the cost, giving the
respective frontages, at $1.40lthe front

Brigands at = Ball.

There was most startling scene
at a ball given not long ago at the
residence of Baron Remondini, at
San Vito, Italy. Dancing had just
commenced when half dozen arm
ed men marched into the ballroom.
They posed as detectives come to
arrest famous brigand, Alberto
Sunni, who, they asserted, was
among the guests. The wanted man,
In the guise of noble, was speedily
located and surrounded. But just
as they were pretending to hand
cuff him the self styled detectives
suddenly drew their revolvers and
leveled them at the astonished
dancers. In double quick time the
latter handed over their iewelry
and other valuables, the booty thus
secured being worth upward Of
%, 600. They were, Of course, brig
ands Of the band whose chief they
had come to arrest.
