The entertainment, was in observance of National Music Week. The operetta, which was considered a difficult one to render, was gener ally pronounced a most excellent ren dition for a strictly amateur per formance. The singing parts, consist ing of solos, duets and choruses, as well as the dialogue roles, all showed the result of persistent practice, ability and capable leadership. The I costumes suggestive of oriental life and the appropriate stage setting all i combined to make a success of the event. Principal characters in the operetta were Mrs. Knox DeLong, as Princess i Zobeide: Miss Janie Strickland, Mrs. J. M. Allison, Mrs. Charles Moore, Mrs Harry Sellers, Miss Lillian Jen kins, Miss' Bill Aiken, Mrs Thomas Hampton, Misses Nell Duckworth, Christine Yongue and Virginia Jus Director and accompanist was Prof Alvin Moore, with Miss Nancy Macffe directing the dances, the latter also being a delightful feature of the en tertainment.
