‘BELLE OF BAGDAD” SENIOR CLASS OPERETTA “The Belle of Bagdad” made its debut in the Colt Auditorium before a capacity crowd the evenings of December 15 and 16. It was a truly great show. The cast couldn’t have been better fitted for the roles they played. Little did we expect to find such talent right here in our own school. Jewel, the leading lady, was superbly played by Doris Martelly, who rather surprised us all with her lovely voice, and Dick Taylor, the movie scout and leading man, was played by Johnny Church. I might add that his performance set many a feminine heart to beating faster. “Ginger” Brightman, as Elsa, and Marion Reilly, as Anne, were very sweet, and Nelson Beals and Johnny Stone, as the aviators. Bill and Bob, contributed greatly to the humor of the performance. But when our own “Willy” Victoria appeared as Henrietta Whipstitch looking for her Hennery, the children screamed, the men held their sides, and even the women forgot themselves and laughed heartily. She finally found her “Hennery” cleverly and wittily played by Johnny Mack, who, unknown to poor Henrietta, was also Lord Archibald. Special mention should be given to Wallis Kcmph for his excellent portrayal of the character of Caliph Hassan El Carrab. He was majestic in his Old World costume and his voice was a discovery that surprised us all. Harry Bullock, as Ali Ben Mustapha, the Chief of Police, should be congratulated on the manner in which he drilled his awkward squad, which, by the way, was one of the highlights of the entertainment and drew great peals of laughter from the audience. Ali, won by Henrietta’s beauty and charm, (helped along by a little coquetry on Henrietta's part), took her to be his wife, needless to say. much to Henrietta’s approval. Mary Shaw, as the American consul and mother of Anne and Elsa, was constantly worried about her two charming daughters, who turned up with Bill and Bob Marie Pacheco and Grace Bruno as Rose and Lilly, daughters of the Caliph Hassan E. Carrab, were very rightly described by Lord Archibald as “fair flowers of the Orient.” They aided Bill and Bob in their plan to escape Ali’s punishment for being caught with a camera. Zorina, who sold Oriental shawls to the Americans, was well played by Catherine Hammill. Her welcome to Bagdad song started the performance off with a feeling that this was an evening that was going to be spent enjoyably. Irene Girard, who played the part of Zelinda, the Caliph’s favorite dancer, added an artistic touch with her dancing. A great deal of credit should go also to the chorus who added local color along with some very delightful music. The girls who aided Mary Shaw in her song “Consul of the U. S. A.” made a very effective setting with their sailor suits and red hats, and managed their .flags remarkably well while drilling. Another noteworthy feature was the excellent performance of the orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Donovan, who, as of course you all know, directed the entire operetta. There wasn’t a flaw in the whole entertainment. Nancy Bosworth was the pianist assisted by Clara Harmon. 23 CLAIRE RICHARDS, ’39
