"For a year or more l lived on a
diet of milk and crackers and during
that time I did not eat a bite OF
solid food. l could not sleep at night
and | was in a'dread all the time,
though | did not know what I was
dreading. | had fourteen doctors TO
treat me at different times, and was
told an operation was the only thing
that would do me any good.

time, and even after a nights rest
I would feel so tired l could hardly
move.
For long time | could not do a

them are enough extra characters to
carry out a deep plot, and chorus
which rounds out an ejoyable three

Mama and the Captain travel from
San Francisco to Honolulu with the
mutual understanding that the mis-

Hans and Fritz have invented many
new ways of amusing the children
at the Captains expense, and brought
forth a roar of laughter from the
large juvenile audience, as well as
from the grown-ups.
While Hans ana Fritz retired to
concoct- new schemes, the chorus
pranced around the stage in about
twenty musical numbers. They wear
elaborate costumes which are changed
for each number, and sing and dance
well.
One OF the surprires Of the perform
