Orpficum Improvements.
The management of the Orpheum
Theatre are always spreading them
selves in an endeavor to please their
patrons. The theatre has been
closed since Monday evening, and
when it is opened tonight every
seat in the house will be a good one.
.The back seats have leen elevated
so those in "the rear will have just
as good a view a those in front.
But for a genuine innovation in
Moving Pictures, Mr. Thompson
has proved that he is equal to any
emergency when he transferred his
Electric light pictures and all the
paraphernalia to the residence of
Mr. E. H. - Hart last Wednesday
night. Using his spacious lawn for
an open-air theatre; beautifully lit
up with electric light, where a few
friends had met to celebrate Mr.
Hart's birthday, amongst whom
was his father-in-law Mr. Love who
even nt his advanced age had never
Seen moving pictures. It proved to
be a genuine surprise. This ideal
method of entertaining your friends
at your own residence with electric
and interesting- pictures should
prove a strong drawing card in the
social engagements of the people of
Maui. .

ferent men were discussed. W. F.

Plan of Battle of Flowers
The battle of flowers that will end
the big Washington's birthday
Floral Parade will add the last
touch to the day's carnival spirit.
It will be a spirited innovation in
the Floral Parade program, and
likely to be a repeated feature in
other years.
The battle will take place on
Punahou street between Beretania
and Wilder avenues, and will not'
start until after the Floral Parade
itself is all over, the judging finish'
ed and the cars ready to be disman
tied. The entire street from Bere
tania to Wilder avenue will be bril
liantly decorated and space left for
cars to be banked on the side so
that every occupant can watch the
battle as it progresses.
It will be a sort of go as you
please affair, and anybody can en
ter, . whether or not his car was in
the Floral Parade itself, so long as
it is dressed out in flowers or colored
bunting. However, Director-General
Wall is anxious that every
decorated car be entered in the
Floral Parade.
A number of inquiries have been
received as to the program after the
cars leave Alexander b ield. It is
planned to make the awards of
Drizea within a few minutes after
the judges have finished their work
so that all the cars carrying specta
tors, as well as those who have en
terqd the parade, may leave Alex
ander Field at once.
Floral Parade matters generally
speaking are progressing faster than
they were at a corresponding time
last vear. Admission tickets for
th Colonial ball will be placed on
sale within a short time. The tick
ets will be $1.50, each entitling a
lady and gentleman to the privilegei
