Kowloon folk are promised a rare treat this evening when the popular Star Theatre presents a more than the usual rich programme. Not only will there be two excellent films, but there will be also a Hawaiian troupe direct from Manila Carnival. Irene West's Royal Hawaiians will present '…

Instant success greeted the Royal Hawaiians Troupe at the Star Theatre last night. The piece submitted was a revue, 'A Night in Old Hawaii.' With equal truth, it might have been called 'A Night in Joyland,' for the crowd. Special mention must be made of the fascinating hula…
