Operetta Presented Last Evening
The delightful two act operetta,
yokohama Maid,' was presented at
the opera house last evening by the
high school glee clubs, under the di-
rection of Miss Helen Wright, in
structor of dramatics, and Miss Wini-
fred Wright, instructor of music The
opera house was packed to capacity
and it was the general opinion of all
that it was one of the very best en-
tertainments of its kind ever given in
Denison.
The cast was especially we'll select
ed and showed that they had received
much careful training and nowhere
was it evident that it could be i'm
proved upon. One feature of the pro-
gram was the choruses and in their
Japanese costumes of pleasing colors
gave the operetta truly oriental
aspect.
The first scene opened in Kybosho,
a suburb of Yokohama, where guests
assembled to celebrate the sixteenth
birthday of o Sing-a-Song, the daugh-
ter of a rich merchant who had been
dead but a few months. Miss Beulah
Aylesworth played the part of o Sing
a-Song remarkably we'll and captivated
the audience with her charming and
vivacious manner Fateddo, mayor of
Kybosho, who under the terms of the
will Of the dead merchant, was to wed
his daughter on her eighteenth birth-
day and inherit the fortune, was por-
trayed by Andrew Lorenzen, and while
the role was most difficult it could not
have been improved upon. Chester
Schlumberger payed the part of Kno-
gudi, secretary of the mayor, who is
in love with o Sing-aSong,
in pleasing manner, and his witty
humor helped to- liyen up things
throughout the evening. Bernice Rich
ardson, companion to o Sing-a-Song,
portrayed the part Of a pleasing Jap
anese girl and captivated the audience
with her beautiful singing. Margaret
as the elderly nurse, was
also good in her part, and displayed
much talent. Everett Norelius, the
herald of Kybosho, handled his part in
an excellent manner and his solo parts
were especially pleasing. Royal Nell
son, as the policeman, and Amandus
Irau, the Chinese: slaundryman. both
exhibited talent and handled their diff
icult rolls we'll. The second act was

business block to be erected on north
Main street, just north of the post

The building, when completed, will re-

The new building will be one story,

up modern sales room in the north
portion of this new building, where
electric fixtures and appliances will be
displayed for the convenience, of GUS

ton, headed by the band and followed
by the Boy Scouts and citizens in au.
tOmObileS. The men marched liked
veterans and plainly showed that they
had been we'll drilled while in the SER
vice. The discharged soldiers and Boy
IScouts were halted at the south plat
form while the band was stationed on
the north platform where they were
somewhat away from the crowd and
able to play few pieces.
Joyful Homecoming for Veterans
The train was a few minutes late
and it's approach was heralded by the
steam whistles at the municipal light
plant and the DOud Milling company
AS the big fast train rounded the bend
into the station bedlum broke loose
which completely drowned out the
band. More than two thousand peo-
pie yelled until they were hoarse when
the train came to a stop and the first
glance was had at the returned heroes.
We doubt if the boys during their
months of service in France ever met
with situation such as they expert
enced when they jumped off the train.
Men, women and children struggled,
pushed and crowded for the opportun-
ity of grasping the hands of these
brave boys, for after all these months
of anxiety over their safety it was
natural indeed that they Should ex-
press their thalkfulness over their
safe return to the home folks. ~ -.
But throughout it all there was some
sadness which was not expressed, for
among the vast throng were relatives
and friends of men who had made the
supreme sacrifice in the service of
their country. Many of these boys
died on the battleields and are now
buried in the poppy fields of northern
France. One of these boys is Frank
Wilken, who enlisted in Co. B, I'd Iowa
infantry, and was member of the
Rainbow division He was killed in
action after having made an enviable
record in the service. ~.
Most of the immediate relatives of
the returned boys had journeyed to
Des Moines where they met their loved
ones on their arrival there. But there
Were, tears of grief and tears of

Amid the blowing of whistles, band
music and hurrahing of more than two
thousand people, Denison's eight mem
bers of the famous Rainbow division
returned home Saturday noon over the
Northwestern. Never in the history
of Denison has there been such a
homecoming and probably never again
will there be such a big demonstration
1t was an occasion, that will long live
in the memories of those seasoned
warriors who for year have seen the
hardest service imaginable in battle
torn France, and who voluntarily en-
listed two years ago to do their "bit"
to win the war for democracy.
It was not until Friday that it was
learned for certain that the Rainbow
boys would arrive in Denison Saturday
noon over the Northwestern from
Camp Dodge, where they received
their final discharge. The news spread
like wild fire throughout the county
Line calls were sent out over the rur-
al lines and each town notified.
Here in Denison the excitement
reached high pitch. The business
men We'd with each other in getting
out their flags and bunting and paint
ers were kept working overtime put
ting calcimine rainbows on the plate
glass windows. A large welcome sign
was stretched across the street be-
tween the opera house block and the
Balle-Brodersen store and an immense
flag was hung across the street be-
tween the First National bank and the
Bank of Denison. Every business
house was bedecked with flags and
bunting and some Of the stores j, had
special window displays in honor of
the returning heroes.
March to the Station
A huge crowd had congregated at
the corner Of Main and Broadway by
10: 80, o'clock. where the Denison Com
mercial band was giving concert.
Discharged soldiers in uniform congre-
gated there and "a procession was
formed for the march to the station.
It was indeed an impressive sight |
