by Sadie" which was presented at
the opera house Saturday evening,
surpassed anything the high school
pupils have ever put on in Hanna.
1t was splendid. and each part in
the play was played to perfection.
1t was really quite devoid Of the
usual amateurish air which accom-
panies so many home talent shows.
The curtain went up right on time,
and the whole thing went through
with snap and pep that would have
done credit t GA company of profess
SIGNALS. Miss Vendala, was delight
full In her Interpretation of the part
OF Sadie Brady, the ste~nographer and
lady detective. Will Hughes was
sweet and refreshing as the little
debutante. No n could have car
ried off the part of Mrs. Quinn, the
Irish maid in better style than did
Fenus ~Scarpelli. Frances Christen-
zen, tall and dark. took off the roll
of the Spanish adventures in SPLEEN
did manner. Jessie Lucas was ex-
cellent as the pale, worried young
m who has her pearls stolen,
and Margaret Thomas, as her step
mother played her part very we'll
indeed. Bob" Rider as Alonzo
Dow. the hero. and man Of mystery,
was very natural. and pleasing in his
part. Machael Cameron, the detec-
tive, and incidentally the william in
the play, was splendid in his part,
as were Percy G~r0utage as the man
ager OF the hotel, George Eskkala
as DR.. Beedle the professor, who, to
his sorrow, scorns banks as a place
to keep the money he is raising to
build an orphanage. Sam Scarpelli.
the young millionaire, who woes
and wins the pretty d%ebutante, Vic
key Vaughn.
The star of the performance was
undoubtedly Roy Rider as Bunch,
h bellboy, who is much in demand,
and is hopelessly in love with Sadie,
and tho only sixteen years old CON
siders himself a competent Judge of
women.
Mrs. w. w. Schneider. who direct
ed the play deserves unbounded
credit for the way it went over.
Another feature, which added very
much to the show. was the high
school orchestra, which. under the
direction of Miss Coughlin, played
the overature. and between the acts.
Their selections were we'll chosen
n beautifully played, and much ap-
preciated by the audience, who ap-
plauded them repeatedly. 1t is with
genuine regret that we see Miss
Coughlin leave our school, for, I'M
der her direction we have built up a
high school orchestra WI have every
right to be proud Of.
