Thousands of New Zealanders would like to visit Honolulu, but unfortunately it requires money to get there ; those, who do not possess ample, cash, however,, need not despair of gaining at least an impression'of the life and music of Hawaii. Mr Kaai and his Troubadours bring “A Night in Honolulu” to Ne,w Zealand, opening amidst beaut’ful palm trees, tropical flowers, and moonlit shimmering Honolulu beach. The whole- theatre will, be transformed into a beautiful island setting, of the Sunny South. Love;rs of a good entertainment should not miss tins most unique theatrical novelty of the year.
