The Young Peoples Glee Club of St. Johns Church presented a most agreeable performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado" last night Alvin A, Wooster directed the thirty-five in the cast who caught the tang and humor of the always charming text. The music was executed In fine fashion, too, Yum-Yum was quite capably acted and sung by Martha McNaught. The two sisters of Yum-Yum were played by Kamerzel and Jane GiSs- lander.
 In the chorus numbers good mu- sical effects were noted and the direction in solo and ensemble was satisfactory. The Lord High Execu- tioner played by Grenville Budd who made Ko-Ko something close ly resembling the best traditions of the D'Oyly Carte Ko-Ko, Edgar Fanloff was Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything. Lemuel Brown as Nanki-Poo, the young hero, sang and acted well. Farnloff gave to his part a good characterization and caught all the tricks of the Pooh -Bahs of fame.
 The operetta abouads in fun, gay nonsensical chatter and lively humor. whether indulged in by the Mikado, or the Lord High Execu- tioner or any of the other well known parts.

My Object All Sublime" "The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring" and all the other tuneful music of the op- eretta.
 The performance will be repeated tonight and those who did not go last night are assured a treat to- niOhk
