Show School Students Score Big Success Smiling faces, clever acting, beautiful beau-tiful costumes and an audience that was highly pleased, were some of the principal features that marked the success of the Christmas entertainment entertain-ment staged by the students of the Washington public school at the Casino Ca-sino theater Thursday night of last week. Never in the history of the city, and it is safe to say in southern Utah, has there been a performance given by students of a public school that scored a bigger success than did those of the Gunnison schools last week. The little actors and actresses, numbering some three hundred, went through the performance almost perfectly per-fectly and only in one or two instances in-stances was there a break, and then it only tended to please the big audience. audi-ence. All the grades of the Washington school took part in the exercises aud each student had some important acting to do and they did it in such a clever way that the audience was completely captivated, and the little performers were welcomed with a round of applause. The general arrangements were under the supervision of Principal J. E. Metcalf, who was ably assisted by the teachers from the several grades of the school. Each grade in the school supplied a number for the show and the training displayed gives every evidence that those in charge were untiring in their efforts j to make the performance the success it was. The performance is to be a yearly I event and it will be given with a view to maintaining the present I equipment and supplying new equip-1 equip-1 ment for the playgrounds. Realizing this, the citizens are in hearty accord with the movement and it is safe to predict that next year the little "show people" will be given a warmer warm-er and bigger reception, if it is possible, pos-sible, than they received at ttus year's performance. |
