BOISE NIGH SCHOOL
PRESENTS "M|KADO"
TO PACKED HOUSE
Students Score Tremendous
Success by Clever Manner in
Which They Reproduced Fa-
nous Japanese Light Opera.
BY MRS. J. G. GREEN.


The presentation Of The Mikado,'
Gilbert and Sullivan's pretty comic
opera, at the Pinney Friday evening,
was tremendous success in every par
ticular, and was played before a rec
ord breaking audience. From first to
last the opera went smoothly on, with
the choruses doing excellent work,
while the soloists, trio and quartet all
seemed to be widely awake to the
possibilities of their parts and sang
and acted accordingly.
PARTS ACTED WELL.
The Mikado of Japan was easily rep
resented by Mcdonald Ewing, whose
fine stage presence, poise and voice
were agreeably suited to his part.
Nanki-Poo (the disguised son Of the
Mikado, who is in love with YUM Yum,
was represented by George Wright.
who played his role delightfully."-. The
part of Yum guardian, Ko-Ko,
the lord high executioner, was taken by
Robert Coats, whose able acting and
singing seemed to suit it perfectly.
Michael Compton as Pooh Bah, brief
ly described as lord high everything
else" was also we'll adapted to his part,
and his fine voice added especially to
the pleasure Of the evening.
DAINTY JAPANESE MAlDENS.
George Kerr's representation of
Pish Tush "a noble lord) was fully up
to the standard and very pleasing. The
three bewitching sisters, YUM Yum,
Petit Sing and Peep-Bo, who were all
wards of Ko-Ko. were the daintiest of
Japanese maidens, and played with
charming grace. They were the Misses
Ersel Harris gum YUM, Kathryn
Baird CPitti-Sing) and Elizabeth Nit
chell peep Boz. One of the cleverest
of the performers was Miss Clara
Jones, whose management of the part
of Katisha Gan elderly lady in love
with Nanki-Poo), was certainly skill
full. The Mikado's attendant, Joe
Moore, was in a class all by himself,
and If ever "sprig of impishness" Ill
sported himself to the distraction of
everything else, that sprig was certain
ly Joe Moore.
ATTRACTIVE STAGE SETTING.
The maids were all as dainty and
pretty as cherry blossoms and their
costumes were typically Japanese, as
were the costumes of the young men.
The stage setting of tea garden
with trailing wistaria and blooming
cherry trees was Japanesque and very
pretty.
The music by the high schol orches-
ira deserves special and praiseworthy
mention. 1t was delightful.
The dances were arranged by Miss
Barnes and Miss Phyllis Sheridan and
were skillfully executed The proper
ties were arranged by William Regain
and Ruth Hunt; the stage setting by
Miss Miller, Miss Audrey and Mr.. Car
ter.
