STEEL PLANT IN
UTAH OF INTEREST HERE

The Mining Review of Salt Lake
relates details Of powerful twenty
five million steel-iron-coal merger
which is being formed by California
Ind Utah interests. This corporation
plans to erect great iron furnaces at
Salt Lake and to develop many de-
posits of iron ore and coking coal lying
west of the continental divide.
Such developments will, of course,
be Of interest to the Western Slope
Of Colorado, since our iron and coal
would have the benefit Of down grade
to the plants to be erected. There no
doubt are tremendous energies be-
ing loosed on the Pacific coast, and we
may eventually look there for our ore
market, just as the farmer and stock
man is turning his attention that way
for his future. There seems to be lit
tie hope that Denver or the capital
lists of the Mississippi valley are GO

GlEE CLUB OPERETTA
SCORES BIC SUCCESS

"The Egyptian Princess" a two-act
operetta, was produced last Saturday
night BY the members of the Ceceliai.
Glee Club before one of the largest
crowds the Normal auditorium has
ever accommodated.
The Glec Club, which is made up of
girls from the College, furnished the
characters and choruses for the piece,
and have been practising since early.
last fall.
Mrs. Alberta Jorgensen, director of
the Glce Club, staged and directed the
operetta in its entirety, and the results
of her musical and dramatic ability
were pleasantly reflected in the stage
presence and harmony of the charact-
ers of the piece.
The principal parts were taken by
Elizabeth Nourse, as Alva; Elizabeth
Wilson, rs Princess Aida. and Wilma
Doig, as Princess Tabubu. Miss
Nourse has frequently pleased Gunni-
son audiences with her beautiful sopra-
no voice, and Saturday nights per-
formance added much to her musical
reputation.
Miss Wilson's appearance was her
first before the public of Gunnison. she
having entered the College from Mont
rose only last fall. She carried an ex-
tremely heavy singing and speaking
part, and her work was a pleasing
feature Of the piece. Miss Wilma
Doig, noted alike for her musical ana
dramatic ability, carried the principal
comedy part, and demonstrated the
rare faculty Of combining her talents
toward the complete success Of the
part. Marie White, as the Queen of
Egypt, has beautiful voice, and was
able by voice and carriage to give the
part the dignity required. Nyssa and
Phyla, companions to Princess Aida,
were taken by Esther Williams and
M.!ccifnA GI:cSsh, Gh ana added q light and
pleasing touch. Miss Pauline Mercier,
as Grania, captive queen, gave a
splendid representation Of the part,
and it was regrettable that she could
not have had greater singing part.
Miss Mildred Spense portrayed Herub,
a dancing girl and soothsayer, and in
the second act gave q wonderful inter-
pretative Egyptian dance. Mary Grat-
ton, another Egyptian dancing girl,
danced In the first act and won q great
deal Of applause for her grace and
beauty. Robert Hetherington, as the
Herald, and Oliyette Jorgensen and
Jewel Clark, attendants, added much
to the life and color Of the stage.
The stage setting was one Of the
most beautiful and original ever seen
here. Pillars, hangines and decora-
tons were representative Of ancient
Egypt. and much credit is due Miss
Mary Helen Hatch, Of the art depart
ineff, for the decorations. The cos
tumes were particularly effective.
Miss Hazel May, at the piano, and
the College orchestra, F. George Dam
son, conductor, accompanied the singers.
