HIGHLIGHTS OF THE OPERETTA.
Miss Ede, music instructor of the I
school, has made her decision for the
cast of the annual operetta, given by
the high school. The name of the
musical play is "Tulip Time," a very
catchy Dutch operetta.
The cast, as they first appear in the
setting, are: Hans, a young Dutch ap
prentice, is to be represented by Ellis
Thomson, who ably furnishes most of
the comedy, as can be gathered from
the opening words of his entrance on
the stage: "Refrain, desist and shtop!
Leave off, und also cease!"
The part of Aunt Anna. Christiania's
guardian. Is to be played by Margaret
JNotson.
Katinka. a village maiden, will be
acted by Anna McDaid.
Miss Ede is having some trouble in
assigning the part of Hendrick van
Ooster, the Burgomaster of Osendorf.
The burgomaster is the whole "works"
in his town. He represents the con
stable, sheriff safety director and the
fire department He also furnishes
much comedy by his language, which
is the real, pure, unadulterated old
Dutch. He oftimes finds his tongue
badiy twisted, as the following shows:
"Sure dey iss. But ain't I got a ma
levalent heart? I vant to render a lit
tle desistance. Mit malice for all und
mit charity for none dots I'm. But
dot ain't all."
Christtania. a charming Dutch girl,
is played by Patricia Monahan.
Theophilus McSpindle, "an authority
on botany and in charge of a group of
students from America, is acted by
John Conder. McSpindle tries to keep
the two worst culprits. Ned and Dick.
from falling In love with Katinka and
Christiana, and in the end finds his
tour of Holland nets him a "tulip vot
1 love."
Ned Baxter, an American college stu
dent, is royally upheld by Gerald Slo
cum, who falls In love with Christiana.
Dick Warren, a fellow student of
Ned. is represented by Robert Turner,
and he too gets the Tulip fever, and
falls for Katinka.
The remaining cast is worked into
choruses of Dutch villagers and Amer
ican students, nower girls and so forth.
Begin planning now to attend this
super-entertainment, Heppner's annual
music festival.
