20 YANKI SAU,
YOU'RE THE FAIREST MAID
IN OLD JAPAN"
J Springtime in old Japan-that land
of princes and princesses, of cherry
bloom and incense, of witchery and
charm, where maze of color meets
the eye and the air is laden with per-
fume and flowers, while the ear is
gladdened with the song of the
nightingale There, too, dwells the
dreaded Wolf-Witch who works her
charms and casts her evil spells.
If you would linger while in this
mystical land of the Mikado and learn
the story of beautiful little princess,
Yanka Sua, the pride of the land, who,
because of the envy of her seven sis
ters, has been bewitched by the dread
ed Wolf-Witch and is doomed to lie
deep in the snow-sleep until her lover
shall come to break the charm and
bear her away as her bride.
If you would know of all this, | say
come to the High School on the night
of Tuesday, May 10th, when will be
; presented the operetta, "Yanki Sau."
You will be assured Of an hours en-
joyment of dance and song.
This Operetta is being presented by
members Of the Cythereans and Peri
clean Societies and they extend a
very special invitation to all their
friends to be present.
Remember the dste-Tuesday, May
10th, 1922.
