They sang and danced their way into
the hearts of everyone, except the am
bassadors, who were TO report favor
ably or unfavorably upon their beauty
and talents to the Prince.
All in all, Yanki San was one of
the most artistic productions given in
Douglas in some time and much cred
it is due the Sisters of the Loretto
academy and others who trained the
group in such a finished performance.
The chorus numbers were beautifully
given, well balanced voices and sweet
ness of tone featuring each selection.
The Grand orchestra ably accompanied
the singers.
The chorus of Japanese maidens
was composed of the Misses Mary Grif-
fifth, Rosamae Stone, Julia Vigneux,
Dot Eddington, Ana Soto, Alice Acosta,
Dorothy Scott, Florence MCGUIRE, ELL
nor Mcclure, Conception Stone, Valen-
tina Breton, I,uth Spence, Julia Con-

|LORETTO PUPILS
OPERETTA MAKES
HIT WITH CROWD

Pretty Japanese maids, tuneful mu-
sic and artistic dancing featured the
operetta, "Yanki San," presented last
evening by the pupils OF the Loretto
academy to capacity audience at the
Grand theater.
The operetta was an appealing and
unusual one, filled with musical num-
bers, while the characters were all
well interpreted and the cast well bal
anced. To Miss Isabel Contreras as
Yanki San, the little Japanese prin-
cess should be given the utmost
praise for portraying her small but
appealing part in true princess style.
Miss Contreras has a natural grave
anad charming manner, which cou-
pied with an especially sweet voice,
are difficult to resist. The part of
San Fan, her maid, was capably taken
by Miss Mary McDonough, and their
rendition of sweet Nightingale" was
one of the outstanding musical num-
0ers Of the evening"
The parts of Prince Toto, father of
Yanki SAM and Princess Toto, her
mother, were taken by G. McGregor
and Miss Ruth Goodbody. Both were
admirably cast and carried themselves
with quiet dignity William Critch-
ely as the High Chancellor of the
Court of No Man, also did credita-
BILE work.

and Olin Wills, as ambassadors to the
Mikado, gave a brilliant portrayal of

went flying from consoling maidens'
hands, when he tried to take his bride,
only to be claimed by both maidens
Miss Alice Mahoney as Prince Otto,
son of the mikado, who finally broke
the spell cast over the princess~ by
Wolf Witch, played and looked her
part. Her bright red kimono and
good looks would have captured the
heart of any princess-asleep or
awake. ~ tt-
The chorus of Japanese maidens de-
served much praise for their singing
and dancing. "Kanki San was per-
haps the most tuneful OF all the num-
bers and was received with generous
applause. Their gayly colored kimo-
nos and fancy head dresses were very
attractive and their interpretative
dancing was done with real skill.
An artistic fan dance was given by
four petite maidens, the Misses Fran
ces Rivera, Ruth Rork, Ana Louise
Breton and Lauretta Guthrie, in "a
graceful and finished manner. The
six little Tea Maids, Sue Hampel, Mar
guerite Breton, Beatrice Breton, Pau

the evenings entertainment with g
beautiful butterfly dance. The Seven

The New York City public welfare

ELDRIDGE TO GRANT
DOCTORS REQUEST
Will Put Parking Limit Around
New Building if Neighbor-
hood Agrees.

The request OF doctors occupying
the Washington Medical Building at
1901 l street for a two-hour parking
limit on I street between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets will be granted
providing there Is no strenuous oh.
lection from other residents in the
neighborhood. it was announced today
by Traffic Director NJ. o. Eldridge.
The decision Of the traffic director to
create a two-hour parking limit fol-
lowed criticism by DIR. Charles Stan.
in the building, that Mr.. Eldridge
lacked humanness in turning down
the original plea Of doctors.
Mr.. Eldridge explained that as there
Is only room for five or six machines
in front of the medical building. and
that parking Is not permitted in front
OF the adjoining building. the Friends
School, the doctors were justified in
asking for parking restrictions in the
neighborhood, SO that their patients
could visi. their offices without walk
ing several blocks.
No special parking privilege around
the building can be granted for the
patients, he pointed out, but by limit
ing parking on I street to two hours
he believes that parking space would
be available.
The doctors declared that a great
many, of their patients are crippled
children whose parents are forced to
carry them In their arms for several
blocks because they are unable to
park their machines near the medical
building
II think have as much regard for
the comfort Of cripples and other sick
persons as any one else" said Mr..
Eldridge. In 4nswering DR.. Whites
