EN TERTAINM ENT
“ Huida o f Holland,” the operetta
presented by the glee clubs o f Esta
cada high school Friday night, was
well received by a capacity house. It
is u three-act musical comedy and is
considered one o f the best ever pre
sented in Estacada.
Each part was well characterized
and showed the result o f
careful
training and practice. The solos,
duets, quartets and choruses received
ovations, expressions of the large au
dience of their appreciation.
Girls o f the Glee clubs in Dutch
costumes acted as ushers, and Mrs.
Lavena Grabeel played the overture
and was also the pianist in the oper
etta.
Especial praise is given
Pauline
Buell, Erma Wilcox, Robert March-
bank, Claude Lankin, Fred Buell and
Bob Hayden, who had tbe leading
roles.
Pauline, as Huida, looked as
sweet as the tulips in her father’s
garden and Robert Marchbank proved
himself an ardent lover and could
not be blamed for his infatuation.
Erma W ilcox,
as
Hulda’s
best
friend, was mixed up in a rather
“ feisty” romance in the beginning of
the story, with Bob
Hayden,
the
friend of Robert, but
finally suc
cumbed to the advances o f the hand
some wooer and all ended happily.

Claude handled his part exceedir
well and his make-up was good.
