Legion Oriental Ball
Spectacular Affair
Tho American Legion's Night in
tho Orient costume ball at the arm
ory Saturday evening was nn artistic
and social success In overy sense
of the Word.
From tho first dance at S:30 un
til Alnpaki Smith's jazz band played i
Homo Sweet Home, thero was sonio
thjng doing to keep the crowd am
used. Tho feature of the evening was
tho pageant which portrayed as Al
addin told 'ovoryono in the prologue
"The vanished splendors; of tho
East."
Tlio scene opened with Aladdin
on tlio stage and In a short
bit of verso ho introduces himself
and told ubout his wonderful lamp.
He then offered to show tho audi
ence some of tho vanished splendors
of the East and rubbed his lamp
for the genie to bring thorn back.
Aladdin then vanished and at the
far end of the hall appeared the
Spirit of the East on a palaquin car
ried by four Ethcopian slaves.' Shu
was preceded by Seneschal, the ma
jordcnio and an incenso burner.
Two fan bearers one on each side
of thu palequin, completed the pic
ture. Following her were ladles in wait
ing from all the Important nations
of tho E ist India, Egypt, China and
Japan were represented.
The procession wended its way
around tho hall and mado its way
to the stage where tho Spirit of tho
East held court and received all tlio
former rulers of the orient.
The first 'to appear was Ptolmy,
the great, with four Egyptian sol
diers. Ho greeted the queen and
with his soldiers took :v position at
one sido of tho throne.
Genghis Khan, tho Chinese con
queror with his four Mongolians next
appeared and entered with nn arro
gant 'swagger, greeting the queon
Willi lio less arrogance.
Lord Scindia, emperor of Delhi,
was the third and ho with Ilia gen
tlo manner, was quite a contrast to
rtio arrogant Genghis Khan. lie and
his soldiers greeted tlio queen with
salaams of dignity and grace.
Jimu Teno, tho first emperor of
Japan and his four soldiers was
next and after a dignified march,
pledged himself and soldlors to the
queen.
Tho dignified gathering was sud
denly upset by tho entrance of a
British officer representing tlio Brit
ish empire. Tho queen graciously
arose to greet the newcomer hut
ho paid nci attention and usurped
her throne with characteristic Brit
ish calm.
The costuming of the pageant and
its presentation was .absolutely tho
best of its kind that bus ever been
given on Kauai. Everything ran off
without a hitch, showing careful
preparation. Too much cannot bo
said about tlio costumes. ' Not only
were they true lo color detail, but
also correct as to the period tluy
represented. Tho costuming was
done by the Women's Auxiliary and
they certainly should bo congratu
lated on tho excellent work accom
plished. Prizes were given by tho Legion
to those not in the pageant for the
most unique man's co3tume and
tho best sustained character. Tho
former was .won by PJiilip Rico and
