"A new star, new photo-play and
new cabaret blll'' was the promise
made in advance by the management
of the Popular theater for Saturday
nights performance All of these
Il 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,
| H. B. Warner. and the new photo-play,
! The Lost Paradise" were little
| above even the Paramount service
standard. However, it is not yet toe
late to make this statement, which is
a fact. a- y. =: " -: Z.
! The Lost Paradise" is a pictured

and labor and the struggle, which
opens up a world of possibilities for
discussion, is ably portrayed. How
ever, no suggestion is made for a set

Now to the cabaret: 1t consists of
90 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 d.
versity 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-
sbers-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 audi-Hce can almost see Sister
Susie at work; while in "FH Do 1t ALI
Over Again." a cabaret-cabaret number,
she naturally is perfectly at home. ''Onl
the Steps of the Great White Capitol, 4
one of the most difficult numbers that
could well be imagined, calls for the
ability of an artist in its rendition and
Miss Myers satisfies In good measure
But fortthe fact that the statement
is made that Miss Kathryn Costello
has been suffering with severe cold /
ever since her arrival in HONOLULU
there would be reasonable grounds to
complain against Messrs. Blair and
Bredhoff because she is not heard in
song more frequently. Miss Costello

soprano voice. has pleasing. stage apsl
pearance and chooses ballads that are
trifle different" from the regular
cabaret numbers. 1t is to be hoped /
that before the close of the cabaret
season lovers Of this class of enter
tafnment will be given an opportunity
to hear more of this sweet-voiced sing
er.
The Misses Clifford, Taylor, LIE
Claire, Lawrence, Bennett and Leach
all appeared in worthwhile numbers;
Mss Lawrence scoring a hit with
English Rag character number of
merit, and Miss Leach by her clever
dancing throughout and the character
song, We'll. I'll Swan" Miss LIE
Claire's best number on the present
bill is Il Like to Have Flock of Men
Around Ne. in which the girls are all
provided with parasols from the tips
of each rib of which sparkle yari-col-
ored miniature, electric lights.
The ciosh4s number, Cali 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 rnore respect to the
Stars and Stripes. Old Glory surely
comes into its own in this number,
which dismisses the audience with
high opinion of Paramount features
and cabaret performers.
