These were boys from Kamehameha

The next tableaux represented the
discovery of the Star in the East by
the mountain shepherds and the COM
ing of the three kings of the East who
followed the star to the manger, bear
ing their rich gifts.
In the center of the upper lanai was
shown the tableau representing Mary
and Joseph at the manger where lay
the new born child. Their rich robes
made a beautiful picture as the strong
light was thrown full upon them.
The part of Mary was taken by Mrs.
J. P. Erdman, and that of Joseph by
Charles R. Frazier. The shepherds
were Rev. Henry p. Judd, Rev. John

Neither the war department nor

Nature Joins With Artists and
Chorus in Making Unique
Event Success

Between five and six thousand peo'
pie on Christmas Eve attended the
community Christmas tree celebra'
ton in the capitol grounds, an enter
tainment that in beauty and impress
~siveness was as successful as any
ever given here.
Harmony of music and of lights. the
great chorus of trained singers and the
individual soloists, the rich colors OF
the tableaux that showed so splendid
ly, the gay capitol building with the
figures of herald angels standing up
right on its top, and over them the
great glowing star-all these COM
bined to make the entertainment most
impressive.
Down in the grounds of the old pal
ace a cosmopolitan crowd stood about
the huge living and lighted tree, gaz-
ing and listening In silence as song or
tableau was given and expressing ap-
proval of every number with loud ap-
plause when it had ended.
1t was a beautiful night; one in
which nature herself seemed looking
on and listening; white feather
clouds and a waxing moon in balmy
atmosphere.
From the gathering people wended
their way home, humming the old
Christmas anthems again that they
had known as little children. 1t was
noteworthy thing of the entertainment
that in it's beauty and impressiveness
it lost none of the Christmas sim
plicity.
Ellen Beach Yaw, the noted singer
now visiting Honolulu, gave the first
number, a colorful selection of runs
and trills that carried clearly and
beautifully to the fartLest corner OF
the big crowd. She sang unaccomp'
anied from the upper lanai OF the
capitol.
After this came a series Of Christ
mas songs by the big massed choir OF
1900 voices that was arranged directly
in front Of the building. This choir
was led by Miss Jane Winnie with ex-
cellent effect and accompanied by the
Hawaiian band.
Reynold McGrew sang a pleasing
solo entitled Noel" in which his rich
voice carried Iar out over the crowd.
Another beautiful number was
Silent Night" by Mrs. Charles L.
Hall, the choir accompanying her dur
ing the choruses with subdued hum
ming.

angels on the summit of the capitol,

CARTER COLLECTS S342
ON BOARD VENEZUELA
FOR THE RED CROSS

Never idle in the interests of Red
Cross, former Governor. George r.
Carter scored a record on board the
Venezuela in the trip from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu when he persuaded
every living soul on board from the
captain to the cookboy and including
the Orientals to become a member of
the American Red Cross Society
Monday he turned over the sum of
$342 to the local chapter of the Ameri.
can Red Cross Society.
Subscriptions were turned In for SO
Chinese on board, and when the names
were counted, we found one was mis-
sing. The Captain declared he would
investigate and then it was discovered
that there were only SO Chinese on
board, and that the other Chinese was
sick and had remained behind in San
Francisco. His countrymen, however,
had put up the dollar and declared
him in," said the former governor.

THOUSANDS join
in NOISEMAKING
CHRISTMAS EVE

Thousands of persons OF every nAs
tionality rubbed shoulders In a great,
jovial. good-natured crowd in Homo
lulus downtown streets Saturday night
in celebration of the one big annual
occasion where, for the time being. at
least, cares and woes are laid aside
and sorrow and worry turned into
laughter. song and good fellowship
Christmas Eve came to- Honolulu as IN
recent years with all the noise, ful1
and orderly throngs of humanity that,
in the past, have made the event a
thing OF wonder to tourists who Have
left colder climes to bask in Hawaifs
sunshine.
In all America, perhaps, therets no
Christmas Eve celebration as aqae
and interesting as that held In Homo
lulu. But 1t is only the beginning, as
the New Year throngs are even larger,
as a rule, and the meTriment more In.
tense. Up and down Fort street and
King street, and along adjacent
streets the great crowds surged on
Monday evening, and with them all
the noise and racket and laughter and
song that Honolulans have come to
know so well.
Practically every race in the Pa
cific, as we'll as a dozen other races,
were represented in this great kalef.
doscopic picture The Orient rubbed
shoulders with the Occident, and no.
where along the surging lines. Of hu-
manity was there an accident or an
unpleasant incident to mar the quiet
and success Of the occasion. Mounted
and foot patrolmen were on har1 -
keep the crowds in check, yet their
services were hardly needed, so or.
derly were the merrymakers.
The crowds became largest a few
moments after the exercises at the
Community Christmas tree hao
closed, and then thousands OF people,
who had been packed into the palace
grounds. surged out into the streets
to add their bit to the din and noise
The festivities continued until a late
hour, and It was a tired but happy
throng that left the streets.

Collexe-LeClair Funeral.

With all the rooms in the schools
crowded to capacity and with the at
tendance increasing each month, &C
ton will be taken by the members OF
the school board at the next meeting
for providing better accommodations
for the pupils. It Is possible that an
addition will have to be built to the
Kensington Grammar school to solve
the problem.
s, M. Cowles, member Of the
school board in discussing the sltua-
ton this morning, said that every
room was overcrowded. The 1nstruc-
tars were teaching an average OF 40
to 80 pupils. At the present time a
room in the basement of the henSlng-
ton Grammar school was being used
for teaching purposes. Mr.. Co"les
stated that the problem could be
solved by making an addition to the
Kensington Grammar school. This ne
.oid would result in four more class
rooms.
r. has also been suggested to re-
claim the old ledge school. This build
,ne has not heen used in years and 1t
ia said that parents would object to
having their children attend school in
such a. structure, since the modernly
eouipped Kensington Grammar school
Is but a short distance away.
With the addition of more rooms
tho town would entail the expense Of
navine for the services OF a supervisor.
At present this item is met by the
state but as soon as any town has over
81 class rooms it must pay the salary
of the superintendent. The number
