John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 28 April 1925:<br>HAWAIIAN ENTERTAINERS<br> A VARIED PROGRAMME<br> Kaii’s Hawaiian Troubadours made their first appearance at the Opera House last evening to a large and appreciative audience.… Very soon the company, generally and together, was on the best of terms with the audience, and a successful evening was assured. It was recognised that the troubadours were artists with the ukulele and the guitar, and Kaii himself an exceptionally fine performer on the banjo. Applause was frequent and demonstrative. On the whole the genuine Hawaiian items had the preference, and the song, “Ipo Lei Manu,” by Eddie Kinilau, was a decided favourite.… In Queenio Kaili was discovered a born comedienne.… Her tricks of voice, gesture, and facial expression, all unforced and seemingly unstudied, made everyone in the theatre a friend, and she was recalled again and again.… Four of the troubadours gave some brilliant examples of jazz music, finishing to a perfect tornado of applause.… The entertainment reflected great credit upon its producer, Ernest <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Kaii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kaii</span></a>. Taken in part and as a whole it was unusual, bright, and attractive, and was endorsed last night as an unequivocal success.…<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250428.2.105" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250428.2.105</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Performances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Performances</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/HawaiianMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HawaiianMusic</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/HawaiianTroubadours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HawaiianTroubadours</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 27 April 1925:<br> GALLIPOLI, FRANCE, FLANDERS,<br> AND EGYPT<br> COMMEMORATION OF NOBLE<br> SACRIFICES<br>SATURDAY’S SOLEMN SERVICES</p><p> Ten years have passed since the Landing at Gallipoli, and a little more than six years and five months since there was quiet in reality on the Western Front, but to those who had some hand in the stirring scenes of wartime it seems as if they were enacted but yesterday.…<br> Throughout the crowded, solemn, and impressive services held in <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> and all over the Dominion on Saturday, Anzac Day, the principal theme was the call to service, which was the lesson handed down by those who had fallen in the conflict, or who had cheerfully borne with wounds and sickness in order that a false philosophy and a flaunting bid for world domination might be successfully withstood. Grief, poignant but proud, still evidenced the bitter sense of loss felt by those whose loved ones had been borne away, but withal there was dominant the note of anticipation of that promised time when swords shall be beaten into ploughshares, when the last enemy, Death, shall be overcome, when wars throughout the world shall cease, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250427.2.104.1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250427.2.104.1</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AnzacDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnzacDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Remembrance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Remembrance</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WW1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WW1</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>
