PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS
GAY "PINAFORE"
ALWAYS DELIGHTS
Central High Students Revive
Comic Opera For Three Per-
formances This Week

All Harrisburg is eagerly awaiting
the production of "Pinafore" this
week by the graduating class of Cen
tral High School. Not for years has
there been such widespread interest
in any event given by students. THE
reason is at your elbow. "Pinafore"
always delights an audience. 1t ap-
peals not only to the parents and
friends of the graduates who are
especially interested in this particular
production. but 1t pleases those who
are fond of bright, witty plays, and it
charms all those who love music
both the skilled musicians and those
who have no musical training what
ever. Music and words have seldom
been better welded than in this comic
opera by Gilbert and Sullivan. The
text, by w. S. Gilbert, sparkles with
keen satire, but the satire is always
playful--never bitter. The music by
the famous Sir. Arthur Sullivan, is
truly fascinating. In fact, the real
fame of this great composer tests to-
day upon his comic operas. of which
"Pinafore" was the first. Gilbert and
Sullivan were pioneers in producing
this totally new kind of comic opera.
The initial performance of III. NJ. 8.
Pinafore" was in the Opera Comique,
London, May 2S. 1873. Later in the
same year it was given in New York
City, and in Boston in 1879. It's sue
cess was phenomenal. In London it
was performed by two companies si-
multaneously for seven hundred con-
secutive nights. In New York 1t was
played at four different theaters for
months during the same season. It's
real hold on the public was again
demonstrated when it was success
fully revived in 1911 and in 1912 in
New York. ......
Students Revive Opera
Musiclovers of Harrisburg feel
grateful that the Central High School
graduates are now reviving this
graceful opera in our city. It is a
fine opportunity for our people to see
on the stage the brightly-colored, at
tractive setting for their favorite rec
ords. the gems from III. NJ. S. Pima
fore; and to hear the entire music
of this tuneful opera. Harrisburg
has become such a music loving center
that it's people realize that they can
mot we'll afford to miss this opportu-
nifty. Long. careful training under
1.-THE supervision of Principal H. G. Dib-
/ BILE assures the audience of a finished
production. Accordingly, it will be
a real pleasure for Harrisburg to hear

a Sailor"

Economy

Economy properly practiced and per-
sisted in will eventually get person to
a comfortable and satisfactory condition
in life. However, the extreme economist
is just about as much a detrinient to the
community and the country as is the
careless spendthrift. The one never
spends anything, the other spends all he
gets. The one never does anyone muck
good, the other never does himself any
good. Both are kind of nuisance that
the world could get along without.
BY all the signs, there will be plenty
of work at good wages in Our country for
some time to come, and enough to eat and
wear, and some to send abroad. WE
KNOW there will be no scarcity of Home
