Norman Friedenwald's great sue

traction played this house last season
and made such a wonderful impress
sion on the vast audiences that at
tended all its performances that it is
still talked about by many who regard
ed it as the best and biggest attrac-
ton ever witnessed here at popular
prices. This year the show viii APP
pear in an almost entirely new dress.
Many new features have been added.
,but all the hits OF last season have
been retained. The enchanting Ha-
waiian melodies and the troupe Of real
natives OF the Paradise OF the Pacific
are featured as prominently as be-
fore. In many respects the show has
been improved. The comedy element
is decidedly stronger and the strinsed
instrument players are even better
than those here before. The costum-
ing has been considerably elaborated
and it would not be amiss to say that
the show is bigger and better than
ever" The engagement is limited to
the three days, but the theatre has
arranged to avoid the crowds at the
box office on the days Of the show
by starting the advance sale Of seats
several days earlier.
