strong desire to visit Hawaii. She
says that she likes especially the
part played by Robert Harris. He
plays the part of an American
Lieutenant who falls in love with
her. She adores the voice Of James
Murray who plays another leading
role.
The other members of the cast
include Vivian Vassar, Josephine
Vassar, Harold Rowland, Charles
Moore, Otis Douglass, Joe Louis
Camp, Charles Milsap, Airing
Reese, and Robert Anderson, Jr.
These individuals who have acting
parts win be supported by the six
ty-fve voice chorus of the Commu-
nifty House which has won for it
self many laurels in their various
renditions under the leadership of
John M. Whitaker, the Director of
the opera.
Leah Mae Young will furnish the
instrumental accompaniment. Mrs.
Queen Ransom, Mrs. Walter Coins
and Mrs. George Thomas are cos
tune mistresses. Ralph Smalley
