Jack Built.

Mother Goose, Old King Cole, The
Queen Of Hearts, The Knave Of Hearts,
Little Jack Goose and host of little
fairies and all the other characters of

danced and sang in a way that could
not but highly please the large audi
ence which attended the second presen-
tatiOn of ssThe House That Jack Built
by grade and high school pupils of the
Warren schools at the high school audi
torium Monday evening. Last Satur-
day afternoon the operetta was staged
for the children. Mrs. Blanche Leigh
Erickson, music teacher, directed the
operetta and to her and those assisting
too much credit cannot be given for the
enviable way in which 125 children
were handled to so successfully stage
the big production
Agnes Halvorson, in the leading role
of Mother Goose, carried the heaviest
part Of the production in a way that
broOded nothing but admiration from
the large audience present. She sang
exceptionally well and put herself into
the part in manner that went far to,
ward the successful production Of the
Operetta.
Ernest Hanson, as hnaVe OF HeaFts,
carried his part In masterful style to
its conclusion, putting the best that
was in him into the role. Milton War
ner took the role Of Old King Cole in a
pleasing way and sang well the num-
bers Of his part with the excellent aid
of the little fairies present. Margaret
Patterson acted in the capacity OF the
Queen Of Hearts with royal dignity and
queenly grace. Inar Johnson was high
" successful in his role as Jack Goose.
4 Ann Cassidy gave q very graceful toe
dance between numbers and later put
on number, which shattered some
what more Of an oriental court than
that Of nursery, yet was not allowed
to pass without an encore.
The clear wholesome atmosphere OF
the nursery rhymes and characters was

for power, but that on the contrary they

troubles and distress in their own coun-

While stoutly maintaining the alleged

tion in the world is not such that It could
be improved by a breach" DR.. Simons
admitted that it was possible to get a
better world perspective from London
than from Berlin. and thereby realize

to requite that wrong
IF we now resorted to severe meas
