MISS BOB WHITE GREAT.
High School Operetta Scored Big at
Grand Friday Night.

Inc three act PASTORAL comedy
operetta, miss Bob White" given
at the Grand last Friday evening
by students of the DEBORAH high
school scored great success and the
big audience thoroughly enjoyed
it from start to finish. The students
of this school have always scored
success in the plays given by
them, and Miss Bob White" is nc
exception.
Judging from the work done they
were all stars. The leading part
was taken by Miss Nettie Gunderson
as Claire Livingston, Miss Bot
White. She is an excellent singer
with a very sweet voice and she
carried her part to perfection, as
did the two miilionaires, Eugene
and Francis Marsh, who had oddles
of money at one time, but lost il
on an election bet, which turned
them into tramps, but they triumph.
ed over their misfortunes and came
back to their home on the Hudson
with plenty of long green.
Raymond Qualley, an English
peer with ancestors carried his part
in great shape, as did his son Lord
Bashful, Geo. Cummings, an ardent
fox hunter, who was > in love with
Golden Rod, Doris futile, daugh-
ter of Friend Samuel Rodd, Chester
Bolger, a well to do Quaker farmer
who worked tramps. Each char
acter was great and drew lots of APP
plause. 81
The Irish cop, Chester Peck, kept
the troubled waters smooth, and
his authority was always respected.
Carl Christen, as Jack Hearty, a
farmer lad, afterward an American
Jackie, in love with Golden Rod
portrayed his part in an excellent
and very patriotic manner.
The part of Ire Billions butler
was taken by Horace Tracy, and
nothing got by him without passing
inspection.
Mabel Oakland, as Miss Liv-in-the
Past Autumn demonstrated that she
had a very excellent voice and her
singing brought much applause.
Miss Myrtle Sharp, as Miss Schu-
yler, and Miss Helen Williams as
Maggie a maid in Friend Rodd's
home were both very good, as were
the two fox hunters, Milton Grant
and Kenneth Makepeace.
The cast was drilled by Supt
Fleming and Miss Ella Treat, and
it is the opinion, of many who wit
messed the play that it was the
best ever given by this popular
school. Each one spoke their parts
in clear and loud tone, and there
was not break in the entire pro-
gram, and all of the participants
can feel proud of their work.
