THE CATLINEAN O P E R E T T A A two-act operetta, The Magazine Princess , was presented February 20 by the combined efforts of Miss Brockmiller, the music department, and faculty and student body. The scene of the operetta was at the seashore home of Miss Stewart, a pro- fessor of English at the college. This part was played by Polly Lou Storm. Marie, The Magazine Princess , portrayed by rllaxirzc Hopper, came to Miss Stewart's home hiding from the King of Rozenia. While at the school she met Michael St. Denis, loc Hijvfvlc to us, who fell in love with her. Marie won the hearts of all the students in college and they all helped free her and make her happy. Other principals were played by Robert McGee, Bob Songer, Barbara Burris, Betty Brown, Ralph Bloom, Maxine Bloom, Kenneth Keller, Mary Messich, and LaVonne Ferguson. ln addition to these characters there were groups of tap- dancers, gypsy-dancers, pirates, sailors, policemen, and the entire boys' and girls' choruses. All in all, the operetta proved very successful and was very entertaining. Music for the performance was provided by Elisabcflz Cord, Pianist, and Nellie Mac Stout, Violinist. Page Tuenty three
