Ladles and gentlemen this is the

Kauut," ("What's that guy filling us
with" some one from the back ot
the room calls out) "and we ure
going to enjoy a musical concert,
right here in this room, that Is be
ing played at the Star-Bulletin broad

mice), the man is listening to tLe
box with a phone that is attacheu
to it. "Madame Ulank is now sing

in another plug and, lo! from out
the horr, clear and distinct, Madame
lllank's voice can be heard. "Dm
you say that was coming from Ho
nolulu';" some one shouted. "Yes,

From Makaweli Plantation News)
As someone said after the high
Jinks was pau, "It was was one con
tinuous laugh; before you stopped
laughing at one stunt you bad to
start laughing at the next. You just
couldn't stop!" ThiB is the way ev
eryone felt, attending the show held
in the Community House on the 13th
of last month and there sure was
a large crowd.
The program opened with a mov
ie weekly which was followed by
the Walmea high boys on the trap
ezes. They sure could do stunts on
the bar. Johnny "Grape Nuts", tho
world's strangest man," next enter
tained the crowd with feats of
strength which was "spoiled" by a
prop boy removing the weights be
fore the curtain rung down. Gen,
Doi and Kitsuwa gave a roaring com
edy impersonating a Chinaman, Jap
anese and Turk. It sure raised the
roof. The next, by many considered
the best on the program, consisted
of exhibition fencing by Rev. Tama
yose and N. Nasu, men's wrestling
by Oklnofune, Nlshinoruni, Takase
qawa and Azunogata, boys' wrest
ling by Takeo Fukil, Masashl Ueno,
Sadao Tatonet and Minora Isuni,
and a blind fold fencing bout. It sure
ly was a splendid exhibition of two
of the chief athletic activities of
Japan. A one ring circus with box
ing, and pillow fighting was the
next number staged. Salamankiro,
