Both chaps are old Army men and

crossing the water was near Verdun.

the Hun method of warfare. Both are
extremely strenuous in their assertion
that the Germans can never win. They
say the American method of fighting
is much too strenuous for the Huns.

"HonoIulu Bound" Scores His
When Hal Hoyt announced That his
"AlI Americans" would offer some
thing different" in tabloids in Hon
olulu Bound" we had right to expect
a change from the usual run OF this
popular form OF musical comedies, but
we were not prepared for the sur
prise he sprung with its initial pre-
sentation here yesterday. The skit is
full of clean comedy and is effectively
staged. fulfilling all that was expected
in TAjs line. but the appearance OF
Hoyt himself in black-face was q rev.
eIation. Mr.. Hoyt and his company
enjoy a wide popularity among Hip
podrome patrons. which was gained
largely through the excellent shows
presented on former visits. and it was
evident from the demonstration by
vest erday's audiences that this popu-
laTity bids fair to increase as re
suit of Honolulu Bound.''
In the company this season are An

favorite for many seasons on the

place aboard ship. a dozen specially
numbers introduced has among them
approximations Of stage celebrities by
members of the cast. Hal Eoyt gives
a pleasing Chara cterization OF Bert
Williams.
The show made such a pronounced
hit on Monday that the idea Of con-
tinuiIg the bill for the full three days
OF the engagement was considered. but
late last night it was decided to adhere
to the fixed policy CT the house and
offer q change OF program on WedaeS-
dav. The selection is Somewhere in

offers exceptionally good comedy. AR
