END THEATRICAL RUN

"StOpl Look! Listenl" the musical
extravaganza at the Globe theater
New York, in which eight Hawaiian
youths have been appearing, is leaving
Broadway for tour Of other, cities
and the Hawaiian boys have quit the
show and are starting today for Homo
lulu. This is the latest information
received by relatives of Dude Miller,
leader of the group.
Miller writes that Dillingham;, man
ager of the show, gave the boys their
option; they might go on the road
Tl'h the company or return to the
Islands. And the boys, despite the
big money they have been making IT,
their theatrical engagement and ca
harct entertainments, are homesick

the intense cold. Honolulu s Carnival

aId it has been little more than
the boys could withstand.
