Students Sing
Pretty Operetta
Princes Chrysanthemum Sung
at Armory Saturday Even
ing to Large Audience

The students OF the public
schools, under the direction of
Miss Koefod, instructor in mu-
sic, sang the charming little ia
panese operetta, Princess Chry-
santhemum, at the Armory Sat
urday evening. The cast was
selected largely from the high
school chorus with the assist
ance of a few pupils from the
grade classes.
The leading parts, Princess
Chrysanthemum and the En-
peror were taken by Miss Mabel
Whyte and Norris Darrell, both
of whom took their parts very
creditably. Miss Whyte's So
prano solos were very pleasing
to her audience and the very ex-
cellent voice of the Emperor was
assisted greatly in the interpre-
tation of the part by his char
acteristic dignity. Mr.. Darrell's
singing in chorus work has al
ways given pleasure to his lis
teners, and his solo work shows
considerable promise.
Louis YackePs rendition of the
part of Top Knot was the source
of keenest enjoyment, his lyric
tenor, wonderful in so young a
singer, being heard at it's best
in the opening solo. The wish
that his voice had been used
more frequently in the program
was expressed by many of the
audience. James Smithers as
Saucer Eyes, was also very good,
mis- tenor voice being admirably
suited to the score of his solos.
Jimmie's naturalness of action
and his ease on the stage were
strong factors in his success.
/ Other boys who sang were Mel
vim Daskam, who sang the part
of Prince So-Tru, the handsome
lover of Princes Chrysanthemum
and Joe Chapman as Prince So
Sill.
Nettie BARRIERS contralto voice
was used to good advantage in
the part of Tulip, the becoming
ness of the costume to Miss Bar
Der adding to the charm of the
part. Ruby Kuenzli as the mod
est, dainty Fairy Moonbeam,
was also a great success, her
girlish soprano voice and charm
ing manner uniting most attrac-
lively
| Beside the SOLO parts some
very excellent chorus work was
done by group of young girls
and The Sprites and Fairies were
especially attractive both in
their choruses and in the stage
effect made by their colorful cos
tunes. The cosjuming of the
entire cast was most appropri-
ate and the stage made a Tery
pretty appearance.
Miss Koefod as director, was
very materially assisted by rhe
accompanist, Miss Lucille Llsch-
er, whose playing was sympa.
thetic and well adapted to the
. youthful voices for which il
| formed the background. Miss
. Luscher was 'ire.ess in her eff.
forts, to unite with Miss Koetoo
; in making the operetta a sue
cess and is deserving of much
credit.

Forest Henry of Dover, one of
The institute speakers, spoke on
the need Of cooperation and the
urgent need of cooperation be-
tween farmer and business men

critically and beneficially. Mr..
Henry's talk was illustrated by
stories of his own life work in
5uilding up a prosperous Farm
business.
A. J. Roush, representing a
Minneapolis cement company,
gave a strong talk on the need
of building permanently when
erecting community structures,
10th material and immaterial.
Using the Egyptian pyramids as
an example of permanent build
ing, Mr.. Roush urged discretion
and thoughtfulness in selecting
the men and materials for COM
munity construction. Mr.. Roush
was also most complimentary in
his commentator of the large
number assembled and the pur-
pose of the club organization.
The local speakers included
Sen. Frank Clague, Pres. Lob
cell of the Commercial Club, Al
D. Stewart, DR.. A. L. Sarchet,
Mayor w. A. Brand, DR.. J. w.
Inglis and Mrs. Wilson.
Mayor Brand, in his talk be-
tcre the gathering, outlined yer.
graphically some of the current
needs of the city along the lines
of a more stable and sanitary
water system, better street con-
ditions, etc., portraying some of
the changes that must be made
soon in keeping with the transit
Of the city from the village of
The past to it's present status as
= "million-dollar corporation" as
DR.. Brand termed it.
By an unanimous vote, the
secretary of the Commercial
Club was authorized to write
Senator L. E. Potter that it was
the wish of all those present
that the bill allowing the mem
hers of the National Guard fiji
ty cents per day for their SER
vice, be passed by the Senate,
as it was in the House, and with
cut amendment.
The second dinner was an even
greater success than the first
one and apparently the enthusi-
asm is still growing. The date
Ior the third dinner will be an
nounced soon.

siderably in connection with the train

obtain it nearby, the wOmens COM
