Shown is the Waikiki estate where Princess Kaiulani spent her childhood surrounded by peacocks. production at the Polynesian Palace. The new combo made its debut Sunday, and by the time Andy Bumatal joined Ho to introduce his "opening act" in the finale three things were obvious: BHo is back in a major Waikiki showroom willing to give him the logistical and promotional support he deserves, the freedom to do the type of show he enjoys and a talented and enthusiastic band to do it with. Appraised realistically, the double bill is a positive career move for Krush since they'll be seen by far more people working with Ho in the new early show than as the headliners of the problematic late, late slot. Visitors and residents are getting a show that entertains both groups and patronizes neither.

In fact, the opening night performance suggests this could be Ho's best show since his local-oriented weekend late shows in the International Market Place in 1981. The show opens with Ho alone on stage behind his organ. He sings a song or two, and brings up three popular members of his previous productions Patti Swalie, Angel Pablo and Tokyo Joe. "Tiny Bubbles" introduces the Krush and it is soon clear that the group isn't simply Ho's new band. Hal Bradbury and Jesse Gamiao get ample time up front, and Edwin Ramones comes forward for "My Hawaii." The sense of unity between the band and Ho culminates in a beautiful rendition of Til Remember You," as Bradbury, Gamiao, Ramones and guitarist Wes Aoki join "Papa Don" around the organ.

Another factor in the potential success of the show is Ho's plan to return to his late-show format by featuring qualified guests. It's not clear yet if some of them will be scheduled on a regular basis, but the concept got off to an excellent start Sunday with Michael and James Dela Cruz, Nina Kealiiwa-hamana, Lani Custino and Clay Martinson. Ho said he found Martinson singing in a karaoke bar and asked if he should be added to the show; judging by the applause, Martinson may have a new job. Two other new faces are already part of the lineup: David Kauahikaua (who also works the Palace with Frank DeLima) is contributing his expertise on keyboards and synthesizers; Bully Soares is sitting in on bass as a temporary replacement for ex-band member Bobby Gonzales. Krush members Hemingway Jasmin and Lucky Salvador complete the roster on keyboards and drums.

pectation to make money from the venture. Honolulu author, artist and historian Kristin Zambucka, has written, produced and mostly financed the story of Princess Victoria Kaiulani's short and tragic life, to be told in a one-hour television special filmed in London and Honolulu, and broadcast in Hawaii on KITV in September. The $500,000 production, "A Cry of Peacocks," will be photographed in its entirety by a British Broadcasting Co. crew, and is being co-produced by Zambucka's Green Glass Productions and KITV. The show will blend photographs, 1 paintings, video and an original music score by Kapono Beamer "to convey the emotional and political turmoil Kaiulani suffered through her life," Zambucka said.

PRINCESS Kaiulani was born in 1875 to Archibald Cleghorn and Princess Miriam Likelike whose brother was King David Kalakaua. She spent most of her childhood at Ainahau, a large Victorian estate in Waikiki where peacocks roamed freely. She eventually was sent to a boarding school in England, where she spent eight years in preparation for her reign as a Hawaiian monarch. But upon returning to a more westernized Hawaii, Kaiulani encountered a land she didn't know. She died of a lingering illness when she was 23.

"A Cry of Peacocks" attempts to bring to life significant moments in Kaiulani's life, including the time she received a telegram describing the political upheaval in Hawaii as her half sister tries to console her. In another scene, curious Americans stampede around the princess trying to snap her Khotograph as she tries to rise from er throne. Zambucka 10 years ago published her first book about the Hawaiian monarch, "Princess Kaiulani: The Last Hope of Hawaii's Monarchy." Since then she has written and had published nine other books dealing with Hawaiian history, including pictorial biographies, and what she describes as V7 IN THE NEWS 66 Hawaii is the zenith of Polynesian research." 99 Kristin Zambucka, Producer of "A Cry of Peacocks" and author of "Princess Kaiulani: The Lost Hope of Hawaii's Monarchy' Kennedy Iheatrg In "Eurydice," opening today at Kennedy Theatre, R.

File photo Heather Marsh portrays Princess Kaiulani in "A Cry of Peacocks." World bids farewell to 'fair lady' THE FAR SIDE By Gary Larson person," Hepburn once said.

As a sickly teen-ager in Nazi-Occupied Holland, Hepburn nearly starved to death. Dreaming of becoming a ballerina, she made it to England after the war and became a chorus -v i i girl. Bit film parts followed, until French author Colette spotted Hepburn on a film set and offered her the lead in Broadway's "Gigi." "I can't act." protested Hepburn. Within two years, Hepburn won a Tony for Ondine and an Oscar for her first starring role in a movie William Wyler's "Roman Holiday" (1953) about a frustrated princess who goes incogni Audrey Hepburn spread joy on film and as a goodwill ambassador By Michael Gannett News Service AUDREY Hepburn was the fairest lady of them all. The goodwill ambassador for the United Nation's Children's Fund, had undergone colon cancer surgery last year.

She died yesterday. Hepburn's 40-year film career gave regality a new meaning. Dubbed "The Princess" by Frank Sinatra, Hepburn was indeed of royal lineage: Her mother was a baroness. But the Belgian-bora Dutch-Irish star, born Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston on May 4, 1929, was the kind of royal you see only in fairy tales, where ugly ducklings are transformed into swans and where glass slippers are passports to worlds of splendor. The titles of Hepburn's films resonate with romantic incandescence: "Roman Holiday," "Love in the Afternoon," "Breakfast at Tiffany's." "My Fair Lady," "Two for the Road." What Hepburn brought to these classics wasnt Just a waif-like innocence or wide-eyed sentiment, but a haunting and ironic melancholy, an understanding that love is especially elusive for the lonely.

"I'm a very interior Audrey Hepburn V. to in Rome and falls in love with a newspaperman (Gregory Peck). Hepburn was 24. "I'm no Laurence Olivier, no virtuoso talent," Hepburn had said. "I'm basically rather inhibited." Wyler, a notorious taskmaster, broke through Hepburn's repressions, forcing her to cry during a crucial scene in "Roman Holiday," and she thanked him afterward.

Billy Wilder lit her like a goddess in "Sabrina" (1954) and "Love in the Afternoon" (1957), though he joked at the dawn of her career: "She will make bosoms a thing of the past."
