Some OF the Stars Who VIII
Appear in the Cast.

Probably one of the very special fea-
lures in connection with the production
of The Mikado tomorrow night at
the university auditorium under direc-
ton of Eugene H. Storer, will be the
electric lighting effects that will play
40 small part in lending the artistic
touch to the operetta.
Mr.. Storer announced today that the
assistance of expert stage electricians
had been rendered through the court
esy of G. r. Beckman, district superin-
tendent of the Washington Water Pow
er company. The company now has
in it's employ here two men who have
travelled with an opera company that
had produced The Mikado and are
thoroughly familiar with every detail
of the lighting effects which makes
it extremely fortunate for the local
production and which will add mater
tally to making the opera more of a
professional production
