FEB. 27 AND 28
AT
(By Bill Porter.)
By virtue of rapid progress made in
rhearaU, definite dates have been
set for ths production of "The Mi
kado," by the muio organizations of
Med ford high school. Two evening
performances of "The Mikado" will be
presented for the general public, Feb
ruary 27 and 28.
The beautiful scenery and elabor
ate costumes of The Mikado re only
two of the many features which make
this operetta one of the best of its
kind ever presented at the local hUfh
school. Scenery and coaumes are In
true oriental fashion.
According to Miss Louise Hollen
beck. who is In charge of the con
struction or scenery, the operetta this
year has one feature which no other
in recent years has had. This is the
use of two separate seta of scenery.
The first set is the scene In the
courtyard of Ko Ko's palace. The
setting la rather dignified and formal.
There is a large wall around the pal
ace yard, all panelled with real Jap
anese designs. There Is a small roof
over the entrance to the garden
Looking out through the entrance one
may see Mount Fuglama, with a vie
In the foreground. At the foot of the
mountain & small house may be seen
partly hidden by the mountain. As
a background, the high school's beau
tiful red curtains are being used. The
color scheme for the first act Is very
loud, using much red. black, green
and gold coloring.
The second act takes place in the
garden of Ko Ko's palace. The gar
den Is filled with cherry trees, all in
blossom. Quaint Japanese lanters
hang from the branches and Japanese
screens with the national bird of the
Mikado painted on them, are located
about the garden. Also In the gar
den Is the beautiful thrbne of the
Mikado. The throne Is artistically de
signed In red and gold, leading up to
the high seat, which adds a modern
istic touch to the setting.
Beautiful costumes are being made
for both the choruses and main
characters by the sewing class, under
the expert gxiidance of Miss Maurine
Carroll.
The members of the girls' chorus
wear kimonos of many pasted colors,
with Japanese sandals and fans. The
members of the boys' chorus all wear
blue kimonos and blue pants, as la
the custom of men In the courtyards
of J&pan.
The main characters all have sep
arate robes and types of costumes to
fit their part. The Mikado wears a
blade robe with the picture of a
dragon on It. Ko Ko wears a royal
purple kimono and checked pants.
Yum Yum's costume in the first act
will be a yellow gold silk kimono and
In the second act a lovely white silk
kimono for the wedding scene. Nanki-
Pooh, Poo-Bah and Pish Tosh will
wear authentic Japanese costumes
with accessories to harmonize. The
other little maids wear costumes of
warm, deep shades of blue, gold and
green. Katlsha will be costumed in
the conventional red and gold silk
kimono. '
The entire production will be high
ly colorful and will be a moving pag
eant of oriental beauty intermlnglt-d
With sparkling comedy and scintillat
ing music. Every bit of scenery, cos
tumes and even the wigs have been
made by the art and sewing classes of
the school. Original Japanese prints
and designs have been followed to
insure a faithful reproduction or an
properties. In regard to construction,
art work and costuming, the "Mikado"
will be an outstanding triumph aside
from the excellent rendttlona of the
music score in solo, chorus and or
chestral work.

Wait Rouses Enthusiasm
In Opera Directors Role
When students of the Medford
high school present "The Mikado"
here In the near future, the pub
lic will view th flninhH nrndunt
to date in reviews of the coming
event. That one is Wilson Walt,
stage director of the opera, or
ganizer and director of the high
school orchestra.
A local musician, who viewed
rhearsal last week, put the spot
light on Mr. Walt. Her enthusi
asm at the close of the re he a mil
was without bounds lu the realiz
ation that he had taken his young
musicians through the entire score
with an "unsurpassed concentra
tion of effort on details already
mastered and a Unking together
of the big moments of the opera."
It is said that Mr. Walt's first ap
pearance in "The Mikado" dates back
to the clays when he was still In kilts.
Since then he has mastered all the
orchestra scores, the words and music
of all the choruses, as well as he
solos and duet numbers. Few per
sons have a voice, ranging from the
stentorian of The Mikado, the love
notes of Nankl Poo. the caricature of
Katasha, and the slmn elmond-eyed
mystery of Yum-Yum, but the young
orchestra players must be familiarized
with the moods of the mank charac
ters, and Mr. Walt has filled that
requisite.

recitative, where only words wore

the recent rehearsal from the opening
"We're People of Japan" to the fln:c.
"He's Gone and Married Yum-Yum."
And while he was doing it, all mem
bers of the orchestra surrendered to
him. The violins, the trombone, the
big horn, the clarinet, echoed the rol
licking, hilarious mood of their play
ers, but when "Thanks, that's all,

left the building, convinced that Mie

CALLS FOP CLOTHING
AND QUILT BLOCKS
A call for more clothing for the
Welfare Exchange was Issued today,
with particular emphasis placed upon
the need for quilt blocks. Spring is
coming, but the weather is still such
that a little bedding Is necessary in
every household and there are many,
according to members of the ex
change, which are practically with
out covering for sleeping or waking
hours.
All types of clothing are needed for
men, women and children. The wo
men are still coming to the exchange
to make quilts on the shares, but
they have little material with which
to work. It Is believed that many
homes still have in them scraps,
which could easity be utilized. If
housekeepers would Just take a thor
ough look around.
In addition to the regular sewing
activities, the Welfare Exchange is
now sponsoring a sewing class for
young married women in an effort to
enable more people to clothe their
own families.
The exchange is open In the city
hall each Wednesday and Saturday
of dvery week.
Anyone with clothing or materials
to give is asked to telephone the ex
change or to leave the bundles at
the city hall.
Beauty Culture
School Opening
Mrs. Lena Mover announces that
she la opening the Medford School of
Beauty Culture at 423 East Main,
across from the Roxy theater. Mrs.
Moyer, who has been in the beauty
culture business In Salem and Port
land for the past ten years, will give
lnBtructlgn In all kinds of beauty
work.
Mrs. Moyer will be assisted by Mrs.
Marie Johnson who has been an in
structor In the Marlnclla school In
Portland for six yoars. Mrs. Moyer
says the school Is open for enrollment
now and classes will start about
March first.
Pear and apple growers should at
this time give consideration to the
applying of dormant sprays for the
control of San Jose scale, blister mite
and rust mite, states L. G. Gentuer
of the Southern Oregon experiment
station, and L. P. Wilcox, county
agent.
Liquid 11 mo sulphur Is recommend
ed on pears In preference to other
materials because of better control of
blister mite and rust mite. Dilutions
of this material are governed ac
cording to the Buume teat of the con
centrate. A 3a degree concentrate
should be used at the rut of ten to
twelve gallons per 100 gallons of
water. In case ot weaker strength
lime sulphur concentrates, use two
or t h re e ga llo ns more pe r 1 00 g n 1 -
Ions. In order to control blister
mite, applications should be made
before clusters push out from the
bud scales. With this In mind, grow
ers having blister mite infested or
chards should not delay their spray
ing too long.
Dormant oil emulsions are as ef
fective as lime sulphur in the control
of San Jose scale if used at the proper
strength. Dilutions ahould be such
that the resulting colutlon contains
at least 4 per cent actual oil. This
means that four to five gallons of
the emulsion be diluted In 100 gal
lons of water. Dormant oil sprays
should not be used on the Winter
Nells variety of pear, bud and spur
d n mage Is apt to occur.
Apple growers may improve their
control of rosy apple aphis by delay
ing their application of dormant oil
emulsion until buds have opened
and leaves protrude about one-fourth
Inch.
For the control of all fruit tree
pests, a thorough wetting of the en
tire tree Is necessary. Start the spray
season right by doing a first class
Job with the dormant spray ma
terial. FRUITGROWERS INVITED
IB SATURDAY MEETING
ON CONTROL OF PESTS
Fruitgrowers of Jackson county
will have the opportunity to hear a
full discussion of orchard pest con
trol if they attend the meeting to
be held at 2 p. m., Saturday, Feb
ruary 24. at the auditorium of the

Aficnt L. P. Wilcox.
Each year a meeting Is held at
this time of season for the purpose
of discussing spray materials, new
methods in Insect and disease con
trol, to the end that growers may be
Informed as to the changes that
are taking place in that field.
The staff of the Southern Oregon
experiment station will present and
discuss the findings of that station
as regards problems pertaining to in
sect and disease control. L. O. Oent-
ner. entomologist, will give his ex
perimental results concerning the ef
ficiency of substitute materials for
arsenate of lead. Other factors In
fluencing control of codling moth
will be discussed. Prof. P. G. Relmer
