OPERETTA
IS NICELY RENDERED.

The opera house was well filled Fri
day evening to listen to the rendition
Of the operetta "Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs" put on by the high
school. Each one performed credit
ably, and the entertainment was Q
success in every way. Following IL
the beautiful fairy story:
There was once q Princess whose
name was Snow White. She was loved
by everyone who saw her. The birds
! in the forest, the flowers and all living
creatures were her playmates. Her
father, the king, loved her, too, and
was proud Of her. Snow Whites
mother was dead.
One day the King brought home .
new young wife. She was very beau
tifu', but cold and naughty in manner.
Snow Whites beauty and popularity
made her jealous, for she had always
been considered the most beautiful in
the land. Her magic mirror had told
her SO, but now the mirror as well as
the fairies of the forest told her that
she was the fa:rest queen but that
Snow White, pure and sweet, was fair
est in the land. Then she hated Snow
White and schemed to have Carl, her
huntsman, go to the woods with the
Princess, kill her, and bring back her
heart and eyes.
The unsuspecting Snow White went
joyfully with Carl. But Carl was q
kind hearted man and couldn't kill her.
He took back to the Queen the heart
and eyes of hind, and let the Prin-
cess Snow White go free. Carl met q
Prince who was lost in the forest and
who was looking for some one whom
he would want to marry. Carl told
him of Snow White. In the meantime
she had found strange hut where
the Seven Renowned Dwarfs lived.
When the Dwarfs came home they
were angry at first to find an intruder
lying on one of their beds. But when
they learned who she was, they decided
to let her stay and keep house for
them. Before going back to work they
warned her not to admit any stranger
But the wicked Queen had learned
from her magic mirror that Carl had
not done as ordered and in the disguise
of q peasant woman had come witt
laces to sell. She laced Snow White
into pretty girdle and she fell ovel
dead. The Dwarfs came home lust II
time, cut the strings, and brought he,
back to life. The Queen discovered
this and came with vegetables to sell
When Snow White refused to buy sh,
offered her part of an apple, which
she ate and fell over dead. Ths Queen.
mirror now told her that she was with
out rival in the world.
While all were mourning the dealt
of their beloved companion, the Primo
arrived and started to lift her iron
the couch when the apple fell out an,
she lived again. The sadness and sor
rowing was turned to rejoicing fo
the Princess was alive and the Primo
. had found his bride. Snow White for
gave the Queen and all were glad o.
her happy wedding day.
