Unique is the word for the

are dyed to give the effect of a
technicolor motion picture.

The players in the perfor
mance include Pauline Benton
who has just returned from
China where she has been study
ing the shadow play from an old
master who formerly gave per
formances at the old imperial
court. Miss Benton has brought
back with her many materials
to be used, in the performances.
She will be assisted by Lee Rut
tie and William Russell, who
have both done work in this
line.
The afternoon performance
for children will be given at 3:30
in the grade school auditorium.
The program will include "A
Street in China," "Why Dogs
Chase Cats," "Elephant Gay,
and "The- Legend of Willow
Plate."
The evening performance will
be given in Hill Music hall. The
program .will include "Sword
Dance," from the "White
Snake," "The Burning , of. the
Bamboo Grove," and "The Cow
herd and the Weaving Maid."
Children and adults will be ad
mitted to. both performances,
and the price is 15 cents for chil
dren and 30 cents for adults. r
