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,
II. B. Warner. and the new photo-play,
The Lost Paradise were little
above even the Paramount service
standard. However, it is not yet too
late to make this statement, which is
a fact. H." II" ......:.. "..@

Now to the cabaret: 1t consists of I
20 numbers, in which the various mem
bers are heard several times, and at
each appearance the majority of them
are called upon for encores. In pick
ing the class" of the bill there would
be considerable opportunity for a di,
yersity Of opinion. However, Miss
Elizabeth Myers can readily be singled
out as probably the most able charac-
ter delineator who has ever appeared
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 SoldiersP
the audience can almost see Sister,
Susie at work; while in 'I'll Do 1t All
Over Again, cabaret-cabaret number,
she naturally is perfectly at home "On

Miss Myers satisfies in good measure.
But for the fact that the statement

complain against Messrs. Blair and
