HIS MAJESTY’S
“A NIGHT IN HONOLULU” With their skill as musicians and dancers, Henry Kaai and his Hawaiian Troubadours are bringing “A Night in Honolulu” to Aucklanders. This is a refreshingly novel entertainment, which took Australia by storm, running for 120 nights in Sydney and 130 in Melbourne. There are 15 entertainers, all real Hawaiians. with more than the natural ability of their race, to bring plaintive music from guitar and ukelele and to sing delightfully. The Moana Jazz Four is almost a world-famous combination Since the last visit of the troubadours their number has been considerably augmented in ability. The dancers seem to put more pep and action into their swaying, whirling, rhythmic motions; the musicians pluck more captivating music from their instruments, and the singers are more in number. There are the numbers essentially Hawaiian, “Adios, Kealoha,” “Alatau,” and “Imi Au la Oe,” which to the European ear are meaningless, except that the music makes everyone wish to know them better.
