"Katcha-Koo"
The Musical Comedy Under the Auspices
of the B. H. Seniors Decided Success,

The Colonial Theatre was crowded
Friday afternoon and evening when the
b. II. s. Seniors presented the Oriental
American fantasque, 'Katcha- -Koo," re-
hearsed and staged under the personal
direction of Miss Margery M. Heberline,
representing the John B. Rogers Produc-
ing Company of Iowa. Miss Heberling
has been in the city the past two we eks
and has won the love of the hundred or
more pupils in the play and also the ad-
miration of the older people who have
been associated with her. She has also
spoken encouragingly of the natural abil-
lty OF the Belfast young people, their
willingness to cooperate and also &C
knowledges the ready and efficient as
slstance of the seniors, particularly of
Miss Helen Wescott of the class, of the
committees, talent, Mrs George S. Par
ker; advertising, Verna Greenlaw; pub
llclty. Bartlett Whiting; finance, Harry
A. Foster; properties, Harold S. Webb.
The scenic effects were unusually fine
and the costuming picturesque and be-
coming. There was no tiresome waiting
between acts or otherwise, as everything
was conducted with forethought and pre-
cision. Only the most favorable COM
ment was heard at the play or since the
performance. There were only two
scenes but of great contrast:
The Maharaiah's Private Temple of Bud
dab, Rasputin, India
Mrs. Chattie Gaddin's Estate, Riverside
Drive, New York City
Time-The Present
The following cast was especially well
selected, all parts were perfectly learned
and well delivered, and where all did so
well it is delicate matter to discrmi-
nate:

Louise Clark
Soeiak, the widow of a wizard,
