 Almost as good as professionals could have done is the verdict passed on the Bisbee high schools presenta- tion of "Shyloek" last night at the opera house before a crowded house, which during the performance testi- and frequent applause.
 To pick out separate characters for special praise would be an injustice to every name not individually men toned, for they all deserve equal com mendation for the manner in which they rendered their parts.
 To Miss Kate Riley, who drilled the young folks for last nights success, great praise is due. She has worked faithfully for the past few weeks to get the play up to the excellent stand ard that was reached.
 A trayesty on the Merchant of Venice" win some of the character of that noted play and several others added to carry out the idea of the au- thor, the play centers around a foot ball hero Shylock instead of exacting a pound of flesh nearest the heart, de- mands a pound of hair nearest the head.
 Shylock loves his ward, Jessica, and would have her for his wife, but the -nung lady's heart rests with Antonio. In addition to the situations often being comical, the lines are such that they bring out many a hearty laugh.
 Though he had been iii in bed and UT der the doctors care for three days, Joseph peSouza, Shylock, was able late yesterday to rehearse with the rest and go through his part last night. The complete cast of characters is as follows: .-.. ...-.
 Duke of Venice, John Blair; Anto- nio, a senior and captain of the high scbool football team, Earl Durley; Bassionio, Edwin Hicks; Grationio, Roy Newman; Shylock, a wealthy gam bler Joseph DeS~u7a 1-'"a1 his friend
