SCORE SUCCESS
PRESENTATION OF GIN ToBERo"
ACHIEVES FINANCIAL AND
ARTISTIC TRIUMPH
FOR M. C. M.

The production of the musical COM
odY In Tobero," under the auspices
OF re Mlcomi club of the Michigan
college of Mines, at the Kerredge last
evening fully met the most lavish eX-
pectations of entertainment and was a
decided success from financial and
artistic standpoint. Every character in
the play was taken by a student of the
mining school. and the stage business
and music also was in the hands of
students, who handled the work like
veteran producers. The audience
was large being one of the biggest
and most appreciative of the season
and applause was frequent and unre-
strained.
TO c. +. Schaber credit must be
given for much of the success of the
entertainment as il was under his SUI
pervision that the play was produced
lie also played the singing and dane
ing part OF Odita, one of the two fem
mime roles. the other being taken by
II. b. Kroeger as the Boston school
ma'am. The daintiness and charm of
each was a marvel, their gowns being
worn with grace and distinction. Even
the harem skirt, which figured i'm the
production, was displayed with mod
esty and without any suggestion OF
buffoonery or burlesque.
e. II. Gould as Harold Kellar, the
NJ c. M. student who takes a dream |
trip to Tobero, filled every require |
ment, presenting a fine presence and .
having a good voice which he used to .
advantage, II. Nottingham. the Eng
fish newspaper man. gave a clever and /
realistic impersonation of the typical
stage Londoner, and T.. II. Stilwen as
the bandit chief made a hit with his
ease Of manner, big bass voice and
pleasant way of robbing people. The
others in the cast We're G. c. Haskall
and Z. r. Vanvalkenberg as the alcalde
and his wife; w. A. Richards as Max
imilio, revolutionary leader; w. A.
Rigby as the Elder Kellar, and w. n.
G. H. Rupp, n. d. Murphy, r.
.. Benedict, Z. Klepetko and f. d.
Kelley in minor roles in all of which !
he student-artists acquitted them
selves most creditably The orchestra
vas composed entirely of students and
Is work was praiseworthy and beyond
The chorus was a big feature of the
how, with its musical and marching
pecialties. The opening of the second :
ct, with its march of flower girls and J
presented a pretty and ef-
ective picture, with color and move
lent reaching its climax in the dance
one by Mr.. Schabcr as Odita. The >
