(AD Hawaiian troubadors. the wandering musi cians who once filled the island nights with the melodies of the olden days with voice nnd ntrlng- ! eel instruments, have traded their ukelelea nnd banjos for saxo- phones nnd are making "the night j hideous with thi'tr walls." This is the statement of Charles i K. King, former territorial sen j ator and composer of mnny Haw. jnliiin tongs, who in taking an I active part in a movement to re vive the ancient custom of sere nading by night with ukuleles nnd other strjnged instruments. "People want to hrnr tho old songs,' Senator King said. They want to ftfir.iv, too. nnd can dunce to nothing that has rhythm. Hut there Is nothing ?n th world which ninkes lovier dance music than the songs of the Islands, which provide k wide var iety of time and rhythm - so any sort of modern dance music can be achkvid. The tendency new, simply- because people do not discourage It. Is to play noise. The dance orchestra today, using largely the saxophone, do not produce melody. Sometimes the men who plsy the wnnophorrc do not hn:w either their instru ments or music. Hut they are OLD IViELODIES; slzod amusement room with fire place. The exterior walls are white cenient plaster, troweled smooth, with thatched roof of varlgated colors. With hardwood floors through out, linoleum in kitchen, bath tile, hardwood trim, balance In pine to pulnt, it Is estimated that this at tractive home can be built, exclu- jsivo of heating and plumbing, foi from ?l(!,uoo to. $12,000. natural musicians 'ntl ao pick out their own way of4- playing, with the result that an orchestra sometimes is led by a group of two of three -saxophones all play.-; ing the same air and producing tho effect of all noise and no music. "The great harmony nnd mel ody in Hawaiian songs came iur gely through the efforts of Theo dore Richards who taught part suiting. Previously the Hawat laiiH had aung and played only melodies. Hecauae there was nothing else to do the young peo ple developed, this form of cnter tnining themselves and their nei gh bora to a high degree.
