CHEMAWA AMERICAN Oregon, and Devoted to the Interests of Indian Education NO. 7 WEDNESDAY, DEC. 7, 1932 VOL. XXXIV THE BE OF BAGDAD The school operetta, “The Belle of Bagdad,” pre sented in the auditorium on Friday and Saturday of last week was enthusiastically received by both audi ences. Our young singers, actors and dancers did full justice to the tuneful music and the clever lines of the book, excelling themselves especially during the Sat urday performance. The choruses and solos were all excellent. The lines were well spoken, at all times understandable, displaying now and then touches of genuine dramatic art. The dances, solo and chorus, were remarkable for their smoothness of execution, considering that many of them were extremely intri cate. All in all, the show was presented with an air and finish that was nearly professional. Miss Alice Judd deserves the major part of the praise for her direction, of the actors as well as of the many departments and individuals who contributed their ser vices and talents to the enterprise. Miss Trewett had the dances in hand and their excellence spoke for her. Mrs. Turney had charge of the music, which was bet ter than ever this year. Of the many other people who helped there is not room for individual mention but suffice it to say that without the costumes, scenery and properties especially made for the operetta much of the color and atmosphere of the show would have been missing. The whole thing was a triumph of ccoper- tion and team-work. All actors were splendid in their parts. It would be unfair to single anyone out for praise. The cast of characters follows: Mrs. J.

The Red Cross is a real friend in need. out by buying a Red Cross button. Help them During the severe wind storm of last week Che- mawa’s tall white flag pole was blown to the ground. Fortunately no one was injured or no great damage done. It will be replaced some time in the near future. As we go to the press the first few tiny flakes of snow for 1932 are floating down from the sky. We haven’t had a “white Christmas” for many years. Maybe St. Nick will have the real article to travel on when he reaches Chemawa this year.
