LOVE PIRATES Of HA-
WA|I MADE BIG HIT
Light Opera by High school Is Entire
sueeess.-PupIls Cover Themselves
With Glory and Heppner Public
shows Appreciation.

two splendid audiences greeted the
presentation Of Love Pirates of Ha-
wall" light opera In two acts pre-
sented by the pupils of the high school
at the Star theater on Tuesday after
noon and Tuesday evening.
The opera had been prepared for pre-
sentation to the Heppner public after
more than three weeks Of work under
the direction OF Miss Bernice Dafoe.
and the final performance of the pupils
was ample proof that the work had
been well done Miss Dafoe demon
strated her ability to handle so many
young folks. and while the operetta
is not considered TO be difficult, yet 1t
was out Of line with the ordinary work
Of music in the school and contains
a large number OF special parts that
required work and ability to get 1t in
shape for presentation. Both pupils
and instructor worked hard and each
participant had thoroughly memorized
every line and part.
DtAV4t NlAC Nul tain AAlN beAAiA save q
couple of numbers, and one number
between acts. This being followed by
a beautiful solo by Mrs. Chester Darbee
entitled The Swallows" Mrs. Darbee
was at her best and this selection was
rendered in very delightful manner.
The Scotch sketch by Yelma Case, Le-
ola Bennett and Mary Clark was good
and brought forth rounds Of applause,
while Master Kenneth Merritt demon
strated his ability as coming soloist
by two selections on the saxophone. Ted
Young gave some words to the wise in
his usual entertaining fashion and Eli
nor Cohn and Pat" Mahoney did a
beautiful song and dance. This was
a part of the program that filed in be-
tween the acts and added much to the
entertainment
A capacity house filed the theater
in the evening and We are sure that
none came away disappointed with the
performance of the high school boys
and girls They could not be otherwise
than delighted. and on the other hand
the faculty and pupils are highly pleas
ed with the splendid appreciation
shown by the citizens of the commun-
ity in giving them such a splendid
hearing. The financial results were
nearly $500 and the student hody treas
ury has been greatly strengthened. We
are all proud Of the showing that is
being made by the pupils Of the school
this season; proud of the faculty for
the good work they are doing and
glad to know that many OF the pre-
sent force of teachers will remain for
the coming year. Miss Dafoe, who Is
getting along so well with the music
in the school has decided to remain and
carry on the good work already under
way, and we feel assured that if she
undertakes another entertainment of
the nature of Love Pirates of Hawaii"
she will receive even greater honors
than those bestowed upon this present
occasion.
