The Mikado was given in the College Auditorium on two different evenings, December 7 and 8. Very appreciative audiences filled the house both nights and by their applause and merriment assisted in making the players feel at ease. ' ' wi., The play was produced under the able guidance of Prof. Winthei' and Mrs. Pontius. They were assisted in their work 'by the College Grchestra directed by Mrs. Howells and Miss Louella Armentrout, accompanist. The entire program from start to fin- ish was a huge success. The elaborate and characteristic costumes with which Mrs. Sevy clad the different players helped to produce the effect of the far away island of japan. The cast was especial- ly well chosen. Each member displayed a good voice and an adoption to the dramatic side of his part. Leland Robe demon- strated especially his dramatic ability by keeping the audience in an uproar nearly the whole time that he was on the stage. It was easy to see from her accompaniments for this opera why Miss Armentrout was so popular during her school days at VVhitman College. The selections by the Qrchestra were also very much enjoyed by the audience. In fact the entire evening was a most de- lightful one, and one upon which we reflect with much pleasure. Page Sixty-Six

The Voice Department headed by Professor I. A. Wintheif has been very popular. Mr. Winthei-, who is a graduate of North- western Conservatory of Music at Evanston, Illinois, has had a great deal of experience in concerts both in Europe and North America. Since coming to Columbia three years ago he has done a great deal in choir work as well as with his private pupils. He has directed the College Quartet, the Chapel Choir, and the Metho- dist church choir. One of the best comic operas given in Columbia the Mikado, was presented under the leadership of Mr. Winth- er this year. All who have had opportunities of hearing the voice pupils alone or in chorus work, express a great pleasure in the results of Mr. WlHthC1',S work. .-..-,.--- The appreciation of the work of Mrs. Gwen Howells as head of the Violin Department has been shown by the fact that she is now completing her sixth year in this position. Mrs. Howells is a graduate of Guild Hall School of Music, London, England. Dur- ing the time that she has been here the violin department has been built up and some very promising pupils have been developed. Be- sides this work, Mrs. Howells has directed the orchestra. The ac- companiment of the orchestra added greatly to the success of the Mikado. The Department of Expresion has as its head this year, Mrs. Mary K. Pontius, a graduate of Dillenbeck School of Expression, Kansas City, Missouri. Mrs. Pontius has had several years of experience in teaching previous to her coming to Columbia. When- ever they have appeared in public, her pupils have exhibited an ability in reading which could only have been acquired through the careful training of a competent teacher. Page Sixty-Five !
