This popular operetta was successfully produced under the direction of Kenneth Hartzler. The high school Symphony Qrchestra with its director, Ernest Green, interpreted the music with professional skill and feeling. Ray Wood as the composer Franz Schubert, and Barbara Ward, as Mitzi Krantz, the Winsome girl he loves, played their parts splendidly. Richard Hansen portrayed Papa Krantz with delightful abandon. Qther leading characters well depicted were Baron Franz Schober, Philip Wilson, Whom Mitzi loves, the singer La Bellabruna, Barbara Burns, her husband Count Scharnto, lohn Worth- wineg the opera singer Vogel, Bob Smith. Cray comedy was furnished by Fritzi Kranz, lunella Sanford, her sister liitzi Krantz, Connie Carver, their friends Binder and Frkmann, Bill lameson and Floyd Chamleeg and the two Viennese gentlemen, Harlow Qberbillig and Edward French. Perhaps the most melodic of the numbers were l'Serenade, l'Cnly Cne Love, and t'Ave Maria. 16
