THE MIKADO"
The Operatic Event of The Season
E ven as close mouthed person
as these local artists who are giv
ing "The Mikado" July 19-20 are
bound to let a little information
leak out about the inward work
ings of the play. "The Mikado"
as is one of the best of the famous
Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
Twenty five years of perfor
mance cannot dim the charm and
subtle irOny of the lines the lifting
cantivation of the lyric music or
the genuine and whoesome humor
of the situation. Add to the merit
of this famous play the singing
abilities of our local ce;lebrties
and you have in a few words the
stunt that will be pulled off next
Wednesday and Thursday nights
at the Academy Hall.
The real chorus the chorus
words run together and proclaim
their helplessness to reveal the
enchanting bewitching' wholly de
licious . and utterly melliflous
charm grace beauty and feminine
lovilness of this chorus. Honestly
(tjhey would make Anna Hold's
chorus look like a convention of
Alaska totem poles. On looks
they beat the filed a mile and win
the floral horse shoe without a
(Struggle. And sing well it is
ai conservative statement that
their music is as far ahead of the
professional chorus as a full
orchestra is ahead of a Jew's harp
harp. ,
Fixing the whole bunch up it
looks "suspiciously like the people
of Waynesville are going for once
to have a real first class operatic
performance orginial company
magnificient scenery gorgeous
costumes chorus of beauties a
thoroughly excellent cast of chara
ters and altogether one of the
musical and dramatic treats that
wil (long be reitfembered most
pleasantly.;
