The entertainment given at the
opera house last evening by the
pupils of the public schools Wa.
absolutely the best performance
that has been seen in GlenwoOd

tary expressions heard on every
side properly indicate the ver-
diet Of the people
Anyway, you attended the do
in's-everybody did and you
know the Post is not making ii
too strong in saying that the
youngsters acquitted themselves
in charming fashion and reflected
great credit upon Superintendent
Underwood and his able corps of
assistants, and further, that we
are within the bounds of truth
with a good margin when we
state the great houseful of people
were delightfully."- surprised at the
ability shown by the folks of the
grades and the young men and
women Of the high school and the
precision with which they carried
ont their parts.
Every seat in the house was
sold and then the people insisted
on paying the regular admission
fee for standing room and even
standing room was soon at a pre-
MUM.

number and called for an encore

chicvous pranks to perfection.
Butterfly Drill.
Altogether the most scenic part
OF the program was the butterfly
drill by the little ladies of the
fifth grade, who by careful step
and graceful movement captured
the audience and won much ap-
plause.
The flag drill, in which Uncle
Sam, the goddess of liberty and
Betty Ross, the mother of the
American flag, were conspicuous
figures, was the work of the sew
enth grade. The part of Uncle
Sam was taken by Robert Prison,
Wyoming cowboy, who certain
ly acted well the part. The other
actors were equally creditable.
The Washington tea party, the
principal participants in which
were three little girls Of the sec.
ond grade-Misses Eta Taylor,
'rhelma Aultman and Genevieve
Dickson, was catchy and patri-
otic selection, and the matronly
youngsters were the recipients Of
much applause as were the boys
who assisted them. In connection
with this selection the boys and
girls Of the first grade did Vir.

many Of the old-timers in the hall
shuttle their feet uneasily.
The club swinging by the girls
of the eighth grade was excellent

between acts and the recitations
by Miss Marguerite Marquise and
Irwin Lowe. -
The French farce, 'Ici on Par

ber, and this was rendered in a
highly sstisfactory manner. The
cast Of characters included Erie
Hubbard, Agnes Campbell, Char

taking part in the program was
the subject Of many compliments
and it is but just to say that this
pleasing feature i due to the
