"OH YOU JUDGE" MUSICAL EX-
TRAVAGANZA, WILL BE
STRICTLY HOMEMADE
pR0DTTCTT0N

"Oh, You judge" the musical ex-
travaganza which is to be presented
by the Aleph Beth Club, gradually
is reaching stage of dramatic per-
fection. The comedy will take place
at the Garrick Theatre on the after
noon and evening of December 3. The
performance, which promises to be
one of the most entertaining amateur
productions presented in ST. Paul, will
be home production. The scenarios
have been written and the rehearsals
are being directed by members of the
Aleph Beth Club, which is business
and professional mems organization,
with club quarters in the Garrick
Theatre building. The cast, seventy
five men and girls, is entirely local.
In charge of the production and re-
hearsals are Edward Helperin, Louis
Melamed and Harry Brown. Many
unique dancing numbers by choruses
and individuals are being trained un-
der the direction of Professor David
Gould, recently leading dancer of the
'Irene Company" and now head of
the Peter Pan Dancing Academy of
st. Paul. The plot is itself unique.
The performance commences in the
IODDy OI IHo T1OCel TdSCoTld, Will
members of stranded musical COM
pany, tired, hungry, fatigued, and
without funds. The manager finds
himself in a desperate situation and
one which requires tact, skill and good
nature, in sidestepping the many de-
mands. He negotiates for the sale of
the company to wealthy local resi-
dent and a trial performance of some
Of the numbers is presented for the
prospective purchaser, who, after
viewing the acts, decides to withdraw.
The manager insists on the agree
ment to purchase being carried out,
and, being unable to adjust the mat
ter, threatens suit. The following
scene is a court room, in which a trial
takes place on the alleged contract
Of the millionaire to purchase the
show. After concrete evidence is pre-
sented, the judge himself, who before
had been seen with number of the
members of the cast, decides that the
show is well worth while, and pur-
chases it himself, bringing the trial to
a close, with an invitation to the men,
bers of the cast to dine with him at
his country home, at which place the
final act occurs in the form Of frolic
by the actors, in which many special
ties are presented.
