and unexpected calamities, audiences have applauded vociferously at the end of each act, and Ihe individual members of the cast have been called upon for curtain calls without number. The tinesse of the production likewise shows the ability of the cast to duplicate the success of the original New York castin popularizing the author's ideas. "The Ninth Guest" is one of those creepy, eery plays which hold one in suspense expecting something to happen, in the face of which the "unexpected" happens. Such plays as this are creditable to Honolulu, and the amazing sight of patrons standing in line for an entire block, proves a point in favor of the Queen theater, which has caused Some skepticism about town. Last evening's capacity audience shows without doubt that legitimate stage plays well produced have a place in the medium of life in Hawaii.

"The Ninth Guest" will continue until Sunday evening with matinees Saturday and Sunday. Stage curtain rises at 8:15 p.m. promptly A picture feature is screened one hour pre-, vious. The film attraction this week is the spy-drama, "39 a soda without flavor." "Without WHAT flavor do you want it?" "All right, without vanilla." "Sorry, but you'll have to take it with the Hawaii. It is concerned with the unspoken heroism of test pilots.

"I said the sound of the bells aren't of the mighty project, and the life of the men who blasted their way through solid rock and scaled the wall hundreds of feet above the river is shown in colorful detail.

In a dance hall and cafe he is" about to be ejected as a tramp when Miss Ellis, in the role of a singer at the club, intervenes, buys him food and takes him to her home, where he is welcOied by her kindly family. Inspired by such treatment, Alexander goes to work on the dam, where he saves 4he.liv.es of many of his fellows at rislc of his own.

Eest slogan of a trust company: "You can eat better on 10 per Jessie Matthews, scintillating 'inging and dancing star of the Continental stage, is at her best in "First a Girl," Gaumont-Brit-ish film showing at the King theater. Sonnie Hale, star in his own right, supports Miss Matthews in this tuneful picture filled with humor. "First a Girl" is refreshing in theme and music. Miss Matthews and Hale are-ideally teamed in their dance numbers. There seems to be no effort on the part of Director Victor Saville, or the principals to outdo themselves with sensational dance routines.

They are content to let the light rhythm carry the story, and as such the picture achieves the delightful note. The story concerns the money-making idea of Hale in giving Miss Matthews the role of a boy in an act which features our heroine as a lovely singer and dancer. The act ends with the grand gesture of taking off the wig and giving a he-man bow to the delighted audience. But Miss Matthews falls in love with very English Robert, played by Griffith Jones, handsome fiance of the Princess Miranoff (Anna Lee). It all ends very happily with Robert and his dancing star eloping, and the princess and Hale falling in love.

Gaumont-British's "First a Girl" is not at all the American's 'isual conception of English tf pictures. It is not stilted or boring. It is beautifully costumed and designed with London and the Riviera as a background. The Bird Cage Ballet has been seen in American films before, but in this picture it is made glamorous' by Miss Matthews' singing and pirouettes. On the stage this week are the Fanchonettes, Karels and Denise, Jackie Suders and the King's Music Masters in new skits and dance numbers.

The take-off on the childhood days of the orchestra members is an amusing feature, while Karels and Denise in their waltz number are especially good. M.K. cent but you can sleep better on five."

Ditto of philosophy: 'It doesn't matter what worries you so long st it worries you." Theatrical advertisement: "Next week, Ibsen's Doll House. Don't forget to bring the kiddies." Statement: "You can accuse the average New Yorker of nearly everything and find him partly guilty." F. P. observation: "The average man is above the average." Funniest prizefight note: "All Battling Bill did in the ring was Jkeep the appointment." Biggest laugh in a musical comedy: Spoken by Sam Bernard, posing as Herman the Baker.

Coming home, here is the dialogue with his wife: "You look sad Herman." "I got a right to be sad the Government inspectors was in my bakery today." "Why should that bother you, Herman?" "Plenty, Lena if I have to put apples in the ppple pie I am ruined!" Best of the newest craze, the "What's This?" game: A fellow moving his fingers under his coat a deaf and dumb gent telling risque stories. A critic's play review: "If the show lasts till Saturday it will then be considered a revival." Choicest of bookplates: "Ex Libres. Borrowed and practically stolen from Joseph T. Higgins."

Definition of an exhibition of cubist art: "The glorifying of the unable." "Kibitzers" have started a union. And the first thing they objected to was the calling them "kibitzers" they now term themselves "appraisers."

Every day he made the holes in the doughnuts lirger but the larger he made the holes the more dough it took to around them. The definition of silence: A Scotchman whistling for a taxicab. The funniest character in cartoons: T. E. Powers' pictures of William Jennings Bryan showing a nest full of eggs in the Commoner's hair.

Host laughable of gestures: The pointing of Herb Williams' finger lefore speaking. The run of Fannie Brice when in a scene showing her defending her honor. Miss Brice's biggest howl: "Goodbye, Mrs. Hyers. I'll see you Monday if I live if not, I'll see you Thursday." The most hilarious faux pas.

In introducing the mother of the precocious Jackie Coogan, the editor of Vanity Fair said: "I now want you to meet the goose that laid the golden egg." Ditto unforgettables. In Weber and Fields Music Hall. A poker same scene engaged in by Weber, Fields, Warfield, Collier and Lillian Euisell. After a few minutes of play Joe Weber cries: "There iss cheating going on in this game. I hate to mention names but if she does it again, I'll naff to expose her." Maxims: "He who fights and keeps running away certainly knows the referee and one of the judges." "Any man who says, 'All is fair in love and war' I don't trust in business either." 'When a woman is in love she goes into ecstasy a man goes into details." Best of the depression gags.

The father discussing his four sons: "My boy John is so great a physician that no experiment is tried without first consulting him. My son Wilfred is so important a lawyer that the opposition always wants to settle out of court with him. My boy James is so wonderful an artist that the Louvre is bidding against the Metropolitan Museum of Art for his work. Well, my son Max cf him I'm not so proud. He's on the radio in an amateur hour.

But we're not complaining if it wasn't for him, we'd all be starving to death." By way of contrast, two of the more profound observations. A judge saying to a murderer on trial: "Life IS precious see how you are fighting for yours." Concerning a lover who knows he has a rival. And he asks the lady what his status is compared to the other fellow. To which she replies: "I'd set the Louvre en fire for you but I'd walk through that fire for him." Political observation: "Any time a Mayor runs for re-election it means he hasn't been able to lay his hands en the 'stuff the first time." Also, "Politics makes strange bedfellows that's how learning to sleep with one eye open was invented." With the potato shortage boosting prices as high as $2.50 a hundredweight, the hi-jacking of potatoes has become a new field for gangsters. Truckmen, hauling a heavy crop from Shatter, report an unusually large disappearance of 100-pound sacks of spuds from their trucks.
