In an effort to prevent the three

Tuesday night, some of the men being
found on the streets, some in the union

terday was a holiday, when no parades
would naturally be held, so the effect of
the injunctions could not be definitely
foretold. but that they were effective was
shown this morning, when the usual par
ade of strikers around the public square
failed to take place.
Something of sensation was caused
when it became known that legal action
had been taken to stop not only the pa
rades but TO prevent all unlawful acts
by strikers. 1t is understood that the
unions have counsel on the way To Bel
IlOws Falls and that the matter of pa

week will depend on the advice of coun-

TREAT IN STORE
FOR MUSIC LOVERS
Story of The MikadO, TO BE Presented by
BrattlebOrO High School Tonight
and Tomorrow Night

Under the direction of Earl Braman,
Miss Ethel l.. OSgOOd and Mrs. Arthur
Ii. Brazor the students of BrattleborO
high school viii present the comic
opera. The AIikado, in the Auditorium
tonight and tomorrow night. To all
lovers of music and laughter this means
an unusual treat.
The music of the opera, by the famous
composer, Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan.
is gay. catchy. and wholly delightful.
Not only the cast and chorus, but all
who have heard the rehearsals, find
themselves humming, Defer. defer, to the
lord high executiOner, Oh-he 's-going to
marry Yum-Yum. Yumlum, etc.
The libretto. by Sir William Schwenk
Gilbert. is as entertaining as the music.
Ko-ko the lord high executioner. who
plans to get used to the duties of his
new Office by executing guinea pigs, and
finally marries the mikado's ugly daugh-
ter-in-law-elcct TO save ms own head, is
a continual source of meFriment. In
complete contrast to Ko-ko is the suave
aud sneering Pooh Bah, the fallen noble
man. who tor pay StoopS to menial
tasks he scorns. The mikadO himself is
a magnificent figure of genial com
placcncy. His sudden change. however,
from gracious condesccnsiOn toward
Ko-kO to the terrible threat of 'boil-l-ed
in oil" is bloOd-curdling. Katisha
homely face and the right heel famous
for it's beauty. is a terrifying creature. 1t
is no wonder that Nanki-POoh, the re-
mantle son of the mikado, has fled as a
wandering minstrel To escape her love
The wonder is that Ko-ko prefers. mar
.rying her to being boiled in oil. Yum
Yum, Pitti-Siug and Peep-Bo. are sweet
and simple as can be. 'Ahree little maids
who all unwary. come from ladies'
seminary not however. as unSophis-
ticated as they look. PishTush. a no
blcman. is particularly amusing as com.
forter to the three little maids. in their
distress at the thought of Nanh- Pooh
without his head and Yum Yum, his
sweetheart, buried alive.
The chorus of 80 voices adds much to
the beauty of the production as well a.
to the dramatical and musical interest
The bright -colored kimonos, chrySanthe
muins and fans of the girls, and the
murtlerous-looking swords of the mika
dos guards make n good background Tor
the tragi-comic of Ko-ko, katisha and
Nanki-PoOh. The stage setting, planned
by Miss Monroe from n Japanese pie
ture makes possible very effective en-
frances and stage pictures, AZ well as
creating the true japanese atmosphere.
The production aS whole maintains
the high standard for dramatics set II
previous years. 1t is especially inter
esting because it represents the abilities
and efforts of an unusually large mum
Der of the pupils of the school Some
of the principal actors are already
known for their musical or dramatica
ability There is a surprise for the au
dience in the work of some who hay,
not hitherto appeared in important roles
particularly Lyman Adams as KO-kC
and Dorothca Nandcrvcer as Katisha.
There are still unsold number ot
very good seats for tonight.
