To Miss Crane belongs great praise
for the success of the operetta. She
had been working for a long time
with the choruses and principals and
had it not been for ner the work there
wouldn't have been an opera Miss
Crane will not return next year, we
are sorry to say. Miss Zellhoefer also
worked very hard training those who
participated in the dances.
On Thursday evening the class
play, "Endymion,'' was given before
a crowded house. When the curtain
arose beautiful spot in the forest
was displayed. In front were num-
ber of birch trees while in the back
of the stage number of eyergreens
had been placed SO that the scene was
really quite forestry. Artemus and
her immortal maidens are following
the hunt In this beautiful forest and
because of this, Hel.mes, a very tricky
messenger of the gods, is instructed
to keep all mortal beings from pene-
trating the forest. The youths and
maidens are in this forest now and
he, disguised as an old crone, per
shades them TO turn back toward the
town. This they do leaving Endymion,
though, on the outskirts of the forest.
Endymion is prince. The part of
Endymion was taken by Frank Row
ley and he portrayed the character
splendidly, going through the trials
in manner that most amateurs
could not. The part of Hermes was
taken by julie Young and he changed
back and forth from the old crone to
his natural self, acting both characters
without break. Artimus is the
goddess of the chase and her part was
taken by Miss Margaret Laud and she
carried out the character of the god
dess to perfection. Endymion on the
outskirts of the forest is seen by this
goddess and she Immediately wishes
him to be an immortal free to wander
the forests with her. So she makes
arrangements with Morpheus, the god
OF sleep, to put this mortal to sleep SO
that none but herself can awaken
him. Morpheus agrees TO do this but
he is persuaded by Hermes to change
the spell so that if a friend loves
Endymion well enough to give him
up his dearest possession he will have
the power to wsken his friend
Endymion falls to sleep in the forest
dreaming of Phryria whom he truly
loves but who has thus far Knocked
him. Artimus endeayors to make
Endymion turn immortal but he will
not. The part OF Phrynia is taken
by Miss Consuela Jawort and hel
voice and appearance made her all
the more successful in portraying this
character. Eumenides, who is Endy
rnion's dearest friend gives up his
love for Kalisthene and the prince
Immediately aws.kes. Phrynia. really
loves Endymion and all is well. Arti
mus, seeing the faithfulness of NOR
tai love, relents and gives Kalisthene
TO Eumenides. This closes the last
scene. Walter Bright took the part
of Eumenides very well. Miss Mary
Meadows acted the partof Kalisthene
very ably.
Miss Morey deserves great deal o
praise in the success of the play

the dryads participated was especial.
