COMEDIAN IMPERSONATiNG HULA
GIRL GETS IN BAD.

One of the laughable incidents that
occasionally brighten 1.-The arduous
working hours OF the motion picture
actor occurred while Eddie Lyons and
Lee Moran were making "The Night
Cap" on board the steamship Yale,
en- route from San Diego to Los An
geles.
In the action of this Nestor Two
reel COMEDY, Lyons and Moran are
captured on board as stowaways and
compelled by the captain to take the
places of two Hawaiian entertainers,
who missed the boat. In order to OBJ
tain the audience of passengers the
director sent word through the ship
that there would be Hawaiian sing
ing and dancing on the hurricane
deck at given hour
Eddie and Lee appeared in Hawai-
ian costumes, Eddie as musician
and Lee as dancing girl, and so
perfect were their make-ups and so
well hidden was the cameraman, that
lIt duultutC Who a. 'hN rh'N'
tainers were anything other than the
genuine article. They received the
applause with bow after bow and the
camera got it all.
The joke nearly boomeranged on
the comedians, however, for when
they made their exit Lee Moran, In
the hulu-hulu dancers costume, was
followed by an admiring male passen-
ger who had imbibed a bit too much,
and who had taken 1t upon himself
to fall into immediate and ardent love
With the supposed hulu girl. His
wife saw what he was up to and fol-
lowed, determined to chastise the
Hawaiian charmer who was Turing
her husband from the straight and
narrow path. 1t looked like an all
around battle until officers OF the ship
led the husband and wife away and
allowed Lyons and Moran to retreat
TO their staterooms in peace.
