Kaai's Royal Hawaiian Troubadours have during the past" week been giving entertainments at the Victoria Theatre redolent of the charm and picturesqueness of the Paradise of the Pacific, full of the plaintive cadences of the steel guitar and the native lyrics, or jigging with the irrepressible swing of the hulas. The company does excellent work in ensemble and solos, introduces the favourite ukulele, guitar, man-doline, banjo, taro patch and Gibson guitar and is no less at home in the traps of jazz. The hula dances are rather lady-like, as hulas go, but preserve enough saucy piquancy to make them well worth seeing. Even grass skirts are being worn longer this season, however. The voices of the company are.delightful and their selections are immensely popular.
