High school Auditorium Crowded for
the Occasion.

High school Auditorium Crowded for
the Occasion.
Standing room only was the case at the
high school auditorium last night when
the students presented the musical comedy
"Pinafore" before an audience which filled
every nook and corner OF the large hall,
and late Corners were compelled to stand
up Several days ago the seating capacity
was sold out and the result was that
the audience last night was probably the
biggest the auditorium ever held. The
performance was for the benefit Of the
high school cadets.
The play had been rehearsed under the
direction Of Miss Charlotte A. Taylor OF
the high school faculty and the performance
last night certainly did her credit. The
principal parts were taken By Miss Hazel
Brown. member Of the graduating class
who has earned reputation of being one
OF the best amateurs in this city and has
appeared a number of times in Omaha at
Boyds theater as a member of Miss Fitch's
dramatic class, and George Phelps, who is
likewise we'll known to Omaha and Council
BLUFFS audiences. The piece was prettlly
ccsiumcd and the performance was greatly
enjoyed by the large audience and the
young artists literally applauded for their
efforts.
