0PERETTA BY THE
SCHOOL CHILDREN
Princess Chrysanthemum" to be
Given at the Opera House
IT, March 26th.

The children of the public schools
are to give an operetta entitled
princess Chrysanthemum," at the
opera house on March 26th. This in
! cludes children from all the grades
of our schools and over one hundred
people are to take part. A number
of excellent solos and duets are to be
given and the chorus work is fine.
The story, which will be given later,
centers around the birthday festivi-
ties of the charming Princess, but
alas, the happy day, like the course
of true love, does not run smoothly,
and there are narrowing disasters
which trouble the cast and bring
sorrow to all, until the final climax,
when all ends merrily. The acting
and interpretations are quite unus-
ual, being we'll fitted to the musical
setting. The Accomplishments are
all to be played by our own high
school pianist, Miss Louise Swanson.
Miss Edith Lee has been marshall
ing her forces, fitting parts here and
working in available material there,
to make a comprehensive whole, and
the completed production will be one
of which the town may we'll feel
proud, not alone for the ability of
the pupils to do this work, but for
their being trained to produce good
music and act their parts at the
same time.
The principal characters are as
follows:
Princess Chrysanthemum- .....
Hester Huff.
Fairy Moonbeam-the good genius
of the princess
Clarine Mueller.
Maiden Attendants of Princess. Z.
........... Mildred Boysen.
& Ruth MaXon.
Mildred Hoot.
......... Fennette Fasset.
Emperor What for Whi-a Merci-
full CD Monarch. .........
............. John Hunter.
Prince So Tru-..
Anthony SparbOe.
Prince So Sill.
...... George Worthington
Lord Chamberlain, Top Not. :.
Glen Greenwood
Saucer Eyes .....
Miles Loring.
These people are ably assisted by
their following of courtiers, fairies
and sprites, who present some most
effective chorus work.
Two very pretty features Will be
the umbrella dance and fan drill by
girls in the cast.
The music is both pretty and full
of snap and the youngsters are work
ling hard to produce the best possible
entertainment. Many of the charac-
ters have featured in our yearly mu-
steal numbers previously, and the
fact that they are working hard to
give "Princess Chrysanthemum' Is
sufficient assurance that the PUBIC
will have a treat. both musical and
| theatrical, by the presentation OF
this operetta.
