.INSULTED GIRL
FILES COMPLAINT

A young Hawaiian girl, who ap.

but who said that her name was Mrs.
Abbfe Hale-that she was married
appeared in the police station this
morning to swear out a complaint on
charge of assault and battery
against Clarence Essex, Company c,
End Infantry, who, she said, had dis
gracefully insulted her on Hotel
street on Saturday night. 49,.
According to the story related at
the station, the girl was walking
along Hotel street She passed the
soldier. he bumped into her, showing
her along the sidewalk. She resent
ed the insult, whereupon he broke
into a filthy TRADE. ..-
He suggested, she declared, that
her occupation might be immoral and
used language in speaking to her
that was vulgar and insulting. u
This is not the first case of this
nature which has come to the atten-

of the city, it is reported, men are
openly seeking the company of baw-
dy women, and take no pains to
discriminate against innocent young

VAUDEvILLEIEAM
SCORES BIG HIT

Conjuring up "reminiscences OF san
Franchises Orpheum and Seattle's
Pantages. where only the cream of
vaudeville topliRers is offered week
after week, Rene Dietrich and Horace
Wright, clever entertainers and mu-
sicians, opened at the Bijou theater
last night in an all-too-short sketch.
but one which instantly endeared
them to an appreciative audience.
There is one good American word
that describes Wright and Dietrich S
sketch probably better than any 9th
err That is Bully This is their
second visit. to Honolulu, and the fact
that they ale playing a brief engage
ment at the Buou offers an oppor-
tunity TO local theater-lovers to see
something worth while in the way of
high class vaudeville Their 20-min-
ute entertainment will never satisfy
a local audience. Judging from last
nights reception, they could remain
on the stage for an hour, two hours,
and at the end of that time the APP
plause would be just as generous.
Possessed of remarkably fine
voices, and knowing how to use them
to the best advantage, Wright and
Dietrich hold their audience in sort
of hypnotic spell. Wright has one
of the best male voices ever heard
in Honolulu, vibrant and clear as a
bell and he uses it equally as well
in popular air as he does in an aria
from some choice bit OF grand opera.
Miss Dietrich's voice would be hard
to equal anywhere, and is apparently
the result of long and careful train
ing. incidentally, Miss Dietrich
walks UP to the big Steinway grand
piano and makes it talk" while
Wright just leans over the instru-
ment and sings his audience into
open-mouthed amazement
They sang several of. the latest
popular airs last night, and Miss Diet
rich, by request, rendered I've Hal
Experience in her own inimitable
way. Then, for one of many encores,
they brought out ukulefes and, after
singing isles of Aloha" a sobbing
little melody written by Miss Dietrich,
played several Hawaiian pieces which
were we'll received.
"The Payment" Triangle film,
featuring Bessie Barriscale, is far
from up to the usual standard of pic.
lures shown at the Bijou. The plot
is weak and the picture as whole
is Iifeless, and last night it only
served to make an -uninterested au-
dience more eager for the appearance
of Wright and Dietrich.-H. D. c..
