new cabaret bill' was the promise
made in advance by the management
OF the Popular theater for Saturday
nights performance. All OF these
things were forthcoming. but the man
agement had omitted - possibly
through modesty-to state in advance
that the cabaret performance would be
longer and stronger than any of its
predecessors and THAT the new star.
III. B. Warner, and the new photo-play.
"The Lost Paradise" were a little
Il above even the Paramount service
!, standard. However, it is not yet too
late to make this statement, which is
d fact.
j The Lost Paradise lie q pictured
story Of the struggle between capital
and labor and the struggle, which
i opens up world of possibilities for
discussion. Is ably portrayed How
ever, no suggestion is made for set
Element or solution of this great bat
tie, which has been fought throughout
the ages Nevertheless, the photo-play
is one of the finest of the Blair Great
er Photo-play offerings thus far shown
here.
AS an actor ii. B. Warner has few
,superiors. In his role as the defend
er of ''down-trodde labor he is SPLEEN
did and is supported by meritorious
cast.
Now to the cabaret: 1t consists of
| 90 numbers, In which the various mem
bers are heard several times, and at I
he
are called upon for encores. In pick-i
ing the Glass" of the. bill there would
be considerable opportunity for d.
|versity Of opinion. However, Miss
Elizabeth Myers can readily be singled
out as probably the most able charac-i
ter delineator who. has ever appeared I
in Honolulu. Miss Myers shows excel
lent taste in the selection of her num-
bers they all appear to have been
written for her particular and pecu-
liar ability. When she sings Sister
Susie's Sewing Shirts for Soldiers
the audience can almost see Sister,
Susie at work; while in "I'll Do 1t All
Over Again, cabaret cabarH number
she naturally is perfectly at home. .0nl
the Steps Of the Great White Capitol,
one Of the most difficult numbers thatI
could we'll be imagined, calls for the
ability of an artist in its rendition and
Miss Myers satisfies in good measure.
But for the fact that the statement
is made that Miss Kathryn Costello
has been suffering with q severe cold
ever since her arrival in Honolulu,
there would Be reasonable grounds tot
complain against Messrs Blair and
Bredhoff because she is not heard I'M
song more frequently. Miss CostelioI
is the possessor OF q rich dramatic-j
soprano voice. has a pleasing stage ap-l
pearance and chooses ballads that arel
q trifle different from the regularl
cabaret numbers. 1t is to be hoped
that before the close of the cabaret
season lovers Of this class Of enter
tainment will be given an opportunity
to hear more Of this sweetvoiced sing
er.
The Misses Clifford, Taylor, lie
Claire. Lawrence, Bennett and Leach
all appeared in worthwhile numbers;
Miss Lawrence sc0fing hit with
English Rag. character number of
merit, and Miss Leach by her clever
dancing throughout and the character
cong, Well I'll Swan. Miss lie
Claire's best number on the present
bill is 4 Like to Have a Flock of Men
Around Me-" in which the girls are all
provided with parasols from the tips
Of each rib of which sparkle vari-col-
ored miniature electric lights.
The closing number. aAll Aboard
Goes Jack the Sailor by Miss Taylor
and the entire company scored big. es-
pecially in view OF Inc fact that there
has been considerable recent agitation
for the showing of more respect to the
Stars and Stripes. Old Glory surely
comes into its own in this number
which dismisses the audience with q
high opinion of Paramount features
and cabaret performers.
