BIG TINE IS
PROMISED At
KAAI CONCERT

When the blk plan for the Kaai con-
cert opened at the Promotion commit
tee rooms this morning there was an
unprecedented rush for, seats and in
less than an hours time nearly five
hundred exchange tickets were
turned in, the owners receiving re-
served seats In their places. Mr..
Kaai says there are still seats for
those planning to go, however, pro-
viding they do not wait until the
last moment.
Mrs. Jack Ellis, who will play a
prominent part in the entertainment,
will be the first white woman to APP
pear here in the classic Hawaiian
hula. Mrs. Ellis is noted for her
beautiful dancing and it Is said that
she can give the native hula girls
quite a few pointers when it comes to
grace. Mrs. Ellis has taken part in a
number of singing skits with her hus.
band, the late Jack Ellis. and she has
a remarkably sweet voice.
A group of singers who are sure to
make a hit at the coming perform
ance are the members of the Ponges
Quartette. This aggregation is COM
posed of Ernest Kaai, Henry, Charlie
and ]. Harrison Clarke. These four
young men are known to be sons Of
harmony, and there are few if any
singers here who, can render the Ha.
waiian songs as they can.
The concert to take place on Thurs
day evening at the Hawaiian Opera
house is sure to be one of the great
est musical treats Honolulu has had
for many months.
