SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION
OF SENIOR CLASS PLAY

The most elaborate dramatic pro
duction staged here by amateur play
ers during the current year was Rich
ard Brinsiey Sheridan's school for
Scandal" which was presented at the
Opera House Tuesday evening by the
senior class of the Canon City high
school. The play. which is comedy
in i've acts. was admirably delineat-
ed under the tutorage and direction
of Miss Pearl Osborne of Pueblo and
was highly creditabie to all who took
part in its presentation. Some eigh-
teen characters are necessary for the
proper production OF the play and
sixteen persons appeared in the
dramatis personae as given at the
opera house Tuesday night. All of
them acted their parts well and won
for themselves the plaudits OF the
assemblage.
The opera house was crowded to it's
capacity by the high school students
and their friends. Music for the oc-
casion was furnished by the Istrione
orchestra OF four pieces. consisting
OF J. L.. Greenway. l.. s. Desiardins.
Fred Joel and Wallace Pope.
