OPERA BY MESA HIGH
SCHOOL SOCIETY IS
GIVEN HIGH PRAISE


MESA, Jan. 2S.-"The Love Pirates
of Hawaii" the light opera presented
by the high school opera society on
Friday last, will long be remembered
as one of the most worth while mu-
sical productions to be staged in
Mesa. A very amusing tale of love
and adventure in a girls seminary
In Hawaii was woven about an at
mosphere that was truly Hawaiian.
There were clever songs and dances
and bits of very realistic acting.
Gladys Clark as Dorothy Dear made
a charming sweetheart for Billy, her
youthful lover, played by Floyd Da-
Wis. The character work done by
Ruth Goehler as Miss Primer, the
old maid principal of the seminary,
was of exceptional value. Shirley
Bush, solo dancer, and Olive Drew,
who sang and danced, are to be COM
plimented upon their work, which
added much to the enjoyment Of the
entertainment. The pirate chief,
Glen Rheims, and his crew OF bold,
bar pirates, must also come in for
their share of applause. Their comic
songs and blood thirsty antics kept
the audience in an uproar.
Altogether the performance was an
immense success from every stand
point and considerable credit should
be given to Sidney w. Dury. pro-
fessor of music in the high school,
director, and Miss Ruth Huber, who
coached the dancing. Those who
were so unfortunate as to miss the
vehicle will be pleased to know that
it is to be again given on Feb. 8.
