LEGION VAUDEVILLE
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Tho American Legion presented to
Kauai the first vaudeville given' on
this island, it was a decided success
as. vas .evidenced by the. .enthusiasm
of the. audience who attended tho
Tip Top theater, Jast Saturday night.
Most' ambitious thing on me pro;
gram was a sketch "Motoring" by J.
Mldkiff & Co. John demonstrated
that the theatrical honors of tho
Midklff family are not held entirely
by Mrs. Midkiff. Those who have seen
this sketch in the states say that
our local production was admirable.
Mr. Midkiff shared tho honors with
an able supporting cast.
The program tstarted with a two
reel news movie which was followed
by, the strong man act of Carter and
Scribner. Their feats of balancing
kept tho spectators mystified , to tho
end.
Next on tho' program was tho
Kauai favorite, Alma Rogers. Sho
successfully retained her place in
the front ranks of the Kauai ama
teurs which sho previously had won
In The Mikado.
And while we arc perfectly willing
to admit that Bill Crawford's speech
as the manager of Madame X was
an act In itself, however this was
not the act. It was the fault of the
audience that Madame X did not
have more opportunity to demon
strate her psychic powers. Only a
few questions were handed in and
most of these were unsigned and of
such nature that they could not bo
answered.
For 'the benefit of those who will
see the show at Makaweli on next
Saturday night the management par
tlcularly requests that no one feel
reluctant about handing in questions,
The object In having them signed
is to prove to tho audience that tho
act is not a fake. Don't ask: "How
old is Ann?" Even Madame X can
not answer that, but if you want
to know If your neighbor is holding
out a bottle of scotch on you she can
give you the real dope.
The Murderers of the Hue Morgue
were fully Justified in their crime
It's a tragic thing to have friends
in this day and ago especially if ono
is fortunate enough to know the
captain on a coal boat. Everyone
agreed with Englehard and Morgan
after they had told the ' world about
it. Tho tense dramatic suspense of
tho opening scene was almost lost
by someone In tho audience being
overcome with hysteria.
Jimmy Bodrero with lightning
strokes of his crayons put Kauai's
celebrities beforo the spectators.
Tho show, which was under the
direction of Charles 'J. Fern, was
well attended and once again satis-
fled the public of the Legion's ability
to do things right.
A
..H. B. Graham, of the insurance de
partment of the Trent Trust Co., ar
rived on the- Claudino last Friday
and is touring tho island in tho in
terest of his company.

Polo Ponies Barred in
Legion Cowboy Sports
Committee Will Even Competition
By Limiting the Mounts to
Cow-Ponies
KAINAPAU TO ENTER ROPING
Last Year's Champ. Will Defend
Title Against All Comers on
the Eleventh
The committee in charge of tho
cowboy sports on Armistice Day
made an important decision in re
gard to the mounts to bo used In
tho sports. According to the de
cision given out by the committee
polo ponies and race horses will bo
barred as mounts in all the cow
boy sports. The committee in charge
of passing on the mounts will be
C. A. Rice, Walter Sanborn and
James Spalding.
The committee is now ready to
receive team entries and it Is not
necessary for the names of the
men on the teams or entry fees to
be given until the morning of No
vember 11th, but the committor Is
anxious to have all the teams that
are considering entering to turn In
their names, at once so that they
may have definite plans In regard
to the sports.
There Is no doubt that tho barr
ing of polo ponies will cause an
added interest in tho events as the
sports now will bo limited to cow
ponies anil every cowboy is per
fectly willing to match his horse
against any other cow pony on the
lslaud, but several teams have de
clined to have their horses compete
against polo ponies.
Entries aro expected from Prince
vllle, Makee, Hananiaulu, Grove
Farm, Kapaa, Waipoull and possibly
Koloa. With tho teams on a more
oven footing thoy are bound to
cause more interest and excitement
than last year, and It Is expected
that the relay race will be a big
feature of tho sports as tho final
outcome will depend upon this event.
In the roping, Kalnapau, who took
the championship last year, is out
to protect his title against all com
ers and all the cowboys who com
peted last year will be entered and
hope to take the measure ot tho
Hanalel man. At least two new en
tries are expected in the steer-
tying contest but 'just who tho two
men will be has not been decided
by the committee. Owing to tho lim
ited number ot entries, anyone con
sidering entering this event is urg
ed to get in touch with C. A. Bag
gott at once.
Another feature from last year
will be tho maverick race. This was
ono ot the big features of tho rodeo
sports last Armistice Day. All tho
cowboys aro lined up and ono steer
Is given a 50 yard start. Tho first
man to get a rope around tho horns
or neck of the steor wins first mon
ey. Tho racing committee has not
made any definite announcements in
regard to tho racing program but It
Is known that there aro several good
races on tho program that will de
light local lovers of tho sport.
Free transportation will bo given
via the Ahukini railroad to all thoso
who desire It. Trains will leave Grovo
Farm, Lihue and Hanamaulu and
will return at the end of the day's
sport.
