nurses costume she made a personal
ity felt across the footlights. With q
rich and melodious mezzo-soprano
voice and consistently capable work
in the dialogue she carried through
one of the main burdens of the plot
and did It very we'll indeed. She ia
going to be worth seeing in other
bills.
And then, to keep on with the fem
inc part of the cast, Mildred Manning
Is q stunning blonde with q high. light
soprano voice which was not heard at
its best until near the close. She is.
plenteously endowed with good looks
and in q classic dance was extremely,
graceful and effective. "a
Hazel Lake Is as clever an ingenue
as Honolulu has had occasion to mo-
ttee. she is dainty and daring, sings
well, enters with spontaneous enjoy
ment into the spirit of the evening.
And she has an eccentric song and
dance that Is "knockout" en-
ploy the slang that Fritz Fields gets
across SO effectively.
Corrinne Carkeek as Mrs. Talbot;
has d small part In this performance,
but carries 1t adequately. Il
There is much talent In the mascu.
line division. Here and now may be
prophesied one long series Of success
for Fritz Fields. His comedy work
Is sure, cIean-cut, continuous and the
kind that makes friends for the en-
tire company wherever it plays. In
the opening show he Is Johnny Hicks,
square gambler, from whose ready and
Versatile tongue trips an amazing
flow of slang Frank Adams and VIII
Hough, the two Chicago boys who
wrote the show, are masters OF catchy
slang, and Fields is the man to make
go OF their picturesque language. h

ham falls nsiderably behind the 9th
ers as singer. but he gave evidence
of being able to dance to good effect
and throughout the evening upheld his
part.
Homer Long adds to the talent nm,
mistakably. That familiar song,
when Your Pipe Goes Out, fel1 to
his lot and the man who made If f.,
nous, Henry Woodruff. would have.
complimented Long after he finished
It.
Claude Kelly appears to be very.
CAPABLE character man. In this.
sketch he Is Jasper Simpson, tight
listed, rich old farmer. Many laugh
did he give the audience last night,
Art Phillips doubled as q porter and
q policeman, doing bis share to make
the plot roll merrily on its way.
Flowers went generously across the
footlights on the opening night and q
feature was the presentation of leis.
by the Honolulu EIks. a. number Of
the men in the show are Elks and
there were leis-a special kukli nut
design-for everyone, including Ernest
Wolff, the musical director. BY the.
way, he deserves q special word. The
musical end Of the show runs with
marked smoothness and not q. little
OF the success Of the dances is due to-
the able handling Of the directors

musicians labor $50 81

for some novel but rather effective.

IL the first night Is q criterion this.
company should be made welcome in
Honolulu and assured a good season..
1t is q real relief to find that the Teal
company Is above the knockabout stuff
and Is giving clean, rapid.fire show
full of vim, zest and laughter for ey-.
erybody. II the other bills are as
well done as this, the company Is here
for a long stay.
