HIGH SCHOOL oPERETrA.

:
1.-The Nautical Knot Presented by the
Pupils Of the High School at the
Opera House on Last Friday
Evening.
On last Friday evening the mem
bers of the High School presented
their annual operetta at the Germania
Opera House. For the past two months
they have been preparing this operetta
under the direction of Miss Mabel
Smith. The opera house was filed
with fond parents and friends, all OF
whom were interested in the result Of
the hard work of the participants. The
play was very carefully brought out
from start to finish, and was given
without a hitch Of any kind.
The play represented q harbor
scene, the first act dealing with the
events occurring just before the sail.
ing Of the Bounding Billow. The lead
ing character of the young men was
taken by Alva Daniels, he representing
an artist, Barnabas Lee, of some fame.
He, like all of the sailors, fell in love
with Julia. which part was taken by
Miss Florence Cnshman. Julia was as
proud as she was beautiful, spurnine
the love of the sailor boys and ac-
cepting that Of Barnabas. This causes
the sailor lads much distress and they
plan to kidnap him and take him
aboard the Bounding Billow. This plan
proves q success, and he, as well as
the sailor Lads are away for q year.
Joe Stout, who is mate Of the Bound
Ing. Billow and madly in love with
Nance. being Of a baphful disposition:
interviews Bill Salt, an ancient mar
liner, and asks him to convey his af-
fections to the young lady and bring
him an answer before the ship shall
sail. Bill meets the proud Julia. and.
installing her for Nance, tells her Of
Joe'sS love. Julia, fearing lest the art
list may prove false, sends message
to Joe that what is worth having is
worth waiting for,'' and that in a year
she will give him her answer. Julia
meets Nance, and, at course, tells her
what has transpired between Bill Salt
and herself. Nance goes home broken
hearted. Charles Helsley as. Joe
Stout, Ruth Cole as Nance and Eugene
Luney as Bill Salt carried their parts
In q very pleasing manner.
The second act opens year later,
with the whole of Barnstapoole wait
ling for the return Of the ship. The
girls, who a year ago were forsaken
for Julia, meet party Of artists down
from town and take great pleasure in
going to welcome the sailors in com
lpany with the artists. The sailors are
greatly surprised to find that even
Julia will not speak to them. Bill Salt
lis called upon to explain his mistake
to Julia, and to make things right
offers himself in Joe's place. At first
Julia spurns him, but later accepts
him. but Barnabas returns and Bill is
released from his obligations. Joe
become reconciled, and the scene ends
finds Nance, the girls and the sailors
with promises of many weddings in
the near future.
The chorus work, as we'll as the
solos. was very good, and the High
School is to be congratulated upon
their success in presenting this can
ltata.
Miss Eunice Meyers rendered a very
pretty solo between acts.
