Those taking part were as follows: Don Alvarado, widower ---- Dona Barbarita, his daughter - Modeste, her friend - - Don Pedro Carranza, bandit - - - Charles Harrington, pony expressman - Carmela, Mexican dancer ---- Mike O'Rourke, hotel proprietor - Dick Garvine, bully ---- Martin Hurd, emigrant leader - Maria Hurd, his wife - - - Sylvia Hurd, their daughter - foe Grimble, trapper - - - - Tad Jones, orphan emigrant ---- Montmorency Puddington, holds six jobs Tom, a miner ------- Bill, a miner - - Columbia - - - Kenneth Scholes Virginia Guinnee - Goldie Pardee - - William Tell James Breedlove Bernaldine Landon Edward Darnell Gordon Wilcox Floyd Tornbloom - Sara Scruggs - Helen Kahler - Aaron Reed - Jack Mosher - Duncan Low - - Don Kirk - Carl Hakmiller - Mabel Currie The operetta takes place in a small western town when the three groups, Don Alvarado and his daughter's wedding party, the emigrants, and Don Pedro Carranza with his Rancheros, meet by chance at the Golden Trail Hotel. Duncan Low, the man with six jobs, furnishes the humor, by putting in a funny word in all the situations. As the story progresses and the family jewels, which were to be worn by the daughter at the hetrothal dance, are stolen, Jimmie Breedlove as the pony expressman becomes the hero. Valuable mail is taken and he is accused, but, as it is to be expected, the plot worlcs out to the right ending. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Seidl, provided the musical accompaniments throughout the operetta. Regina Klein played the piano. There were five choruses as follows: Mexican girls, Spanish girls, Rancheros, Miners and Emigrants, and Bandits. In the operetta there were several dances which were supervised by Bessie White, senior. The production stall consisted of: Lulu Dinkel, business managerg Henry Mendelson, stage managerg Vera Stoddard, properties, Clara Nelson, costumes, Paul Bach, advertising, Dorothy Cohoe, house manager, Sigma Tau literary society, ushers, Geraldine Kellogg, make-up, and Catherine Tilton, prompter. l 11 N ----. gf . v R x 1- -Ari v A 71,2-5- ,i tv One Hundred Five 554794347 3-Y lvayva ic N. 5
