Show ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS PUT ON ENTERTAINMENT TO A CROWDED HOUSE i To a crowded house, overflowing into the halls, one hundred girls and boys from the Elementary school, presented one of the most charming and artistic entertainments ever witnessed wit-nessed by a Milford audience, "The Yellow Witch's Plan," last Friday night in the high school auditorium. The play was directed by the teachers teach-ers of the Elementary school and Miss Margaret Gates, and represented represent-ed much work on their part, and they should indeed feel proud of their attainment. As to the cast we would certainly dislike to be called upon to pick the star, as we consider it was an all star cast. Lorna Madsen, as the Yellow Witch did some splendid acting and her makeup was perfect. We believe you could look far and wide and never be able to find a better "Mother "Moth-er of a "Queen" than Jayne Sloan. Nellie Jones and Irma Fotheringham as Belinda and. Malinda were very good. In fact their quarreling was so natural, a stranger would have actually ac-tually taken them for sisters. There are some things which mere words are unable to describe, and one of these was Miss Dorothy Quayle, Fairy Fai-ry Godmother and the sixteen dainty little fairies. There was a gasp from the audience when they made their appearance on the stage. Coming from the wings in the manner they dad, one was forced to look twice ili order to realize that they were real. It was a very vivid picture of fairyland. fairy-land. Miss Dorothy is to be complimented compli-mented on her singing. Miss Helen Bird was a charming Princess in the part of Cinderella. Her costume was wonderful and wo believe it superfluous to expound on Helen's singing. People are still talking talk-ing about how well they did. Miss Katherine Mumford was the Queen, and the only way we can tell you how she looked and acted is to say "Queen." Both Miss Katherine and her costume were unexcelled. Julian Tait was the gallant young prince, He did his part well' and had a very beautiful costume. Jack Mc-keon Mc-keon was the King, an dif you didn't think Jack can dance, you should certainly be convinced now. Jack informs in-forms us that he could have sung better if he hadn't come on just as-Jack as-Jack Turiey finished! singing. Most any of us would hate to compete with Jack Turiey in a singing contest. Alex Al-ex McDonald made an efficient anti peppy Tom Thumb. The Three Bears The Giant and Jack Frost touched the funny spot in the audience, as did Blub Beard. (Billy Ranson) and his seven wives. They made a beau-1 tiful picture. We hardly know where' to stop, there is so much could be said about each little individual, and we wish to repeat they were' all stars. For the artistic lighting system, which helped to make the play the success it was, we have Mr. W. F. Miller and Gay Martin to thank. The high school orchestra furnished furn-ished the music, but then you all know about them. If you don't you certainly will, as they have a lot of new music and are constantly practic ing, which makes for perfection. Last, allow us to repeat once again. "The Yellow Wich's Plan," was the best entertainment to be given giv-en in Milford for a long, long time. i We will all look forward to more ; school plays. Mrs. McKeon says she is sure "The Yellow Witch's Plan" must have been a mosterpieee. as one of ; her best friends told her it was much ; bettor than "Mrs. Temple's Tele-! Tele-! gram." I i Did you see Delmar K.rk as the J Giant. It was worth the 50c alone. |
