After the Play.

the cast had worked hard and faith
fully every evening for over three
weeks and much credit is due them.
Miss Florence Cook sang the title
role in a highly acceptable manner
and was very charming inner person
al1ty. Delbert Me- regor was aydig-
nified king of handsome appearance.
His voice was we'll suited to the role.
Charles Adams was very fascinating
and attractive as the prince disguised
as student. He sang finely.
Although handicapped by too brief
an acquaintance with the lines, hav-
ing taken the part as an accommoda-
ton at late hour to fill an unex-
pected vacancy in the cast, with
out which the Princess of Poppyland
could not have been put on, Prosper
STEMS well known ability as an actor
was demonstrated by the clever man.
ner in which he handled the Baron's
part after only two rehearsals, and
/ he displayed here ar unselfsness in
taking the part when he knew he
could not do his best, that is far rarer
a quality than dramatic talent.
| Marcellus Olmsted who played the
part of DOGGY the sleepy secretary
was as original anb funny as the au-
thor could passibly have desired. He
| is a fine comedian.
Fizzletop the kings neryous.atten-
I dant was unprecedented by Edward
Bauer who played the part very well
although he was quite i'll.
Lucille Murphy and Stella Carlin,
attendants of the Princess sang a du-
Eet very effectively. Miss Murphy also
sang solo later in her sweet lyric So
Eprano voice. Both young ladies played
their parts extremely we'll.
The parts of Pip-pip and Honk-honk
the smart attendants of the tricky
baron were played by Emil johnson
and Ferdinand Felzman. They with
the Baron sang a jolly trio and were
very entertaining in their clever rep
artee. Harvey Nash was d most anus
ing page who attended Fizzletop.
The role of Columbia" was admir-
ably sung by Miss Alexandrienne Cha
brison in her superb soprano voice
which shows plainly the excellent
training of highly proficient instruct
ors. Miss Chabrison sang solo of a
patriotic nature and when the chorus
joined in the refrain she sang an OBJ
ligato highly operate in It's effect.
She responded to an encore with
Claimants From the Land of the Sky
Blue Water.
The Flower Dance in the first act,
an aesthetic dance with garlands of
roses which closed with one Of the nu-
merous variations of the modern Fox
Trot was very prettily performed by
twelve young ladies of the chorus as
was also the Gypsy Dance in the third
act by band of gypsy maidens in Ro-
many garb. The dance was typically
gypsy in movement.
As special features between the acts
the audience was favored with some
extraordinarily fine talent along the
line of singing and dancing by Mr..
BE. Lemen and dainty little Kathryn
Arnold, both guests at the Morey Re-
sort, ami both being from ST. Louis.
Mr.. Lemmen is a very fine singer
and at the same time possessed Of
strong dramatic talent, while little
Miss Arnold is certainly unusually
GIFTED. The piano accompanies dur
ing all the rehearsals and for the IL
NAL performance was Mrs. Chas. Ad-
ANS who proved highly satisfactory
in every way.
The ladies' OF st. Ignatius Guild did
\ themselves proud in tine elaborate
I decoration of the stage. 1t was YER
table Garden in Poppyland. Mr..
Kuehne the manager of the opera
house is due the profuse thanks OF
the Episcopal people for very gener-
ously donating the opera house for the
performance aaad also Tor the numer-
Ous rellearsals.
Miss Mayme Richards of Minneapo-
4 lis wlao directed the operetta and
/ who has been recently promoted to
l departmental work in music and folk
dancing in the schools Of that city,
expresses herself as well pleased with
S
the Efforts Of the cast and while COM
amending the work of those who had
Individual parts she wishes to strong
ly emphasize the excellence of the
work OF tire chorus. 1t was one of
the best features of the entire per-
Torrance and in entertainments Of
this kind the chorus can come nearer
to making or marying the entire eff,
feet than any one soloist could posi-
bly, do. Mr.. Arthur Sheribel and Mr..
W. Radcliffe assisted the chorus very
materially from behind the scenes.
