The Patsy N expectant hush filled the hall as the curtain slowly parted. There was a dazzling glare of light, then, with an appreciative murmur, everyone lost himself in the play. Breathlessly the actors were followed through scenes of rollicking mirth, of touching pathos, of domestic quar- rels, and of reconciliations. For a few short hours we lived in the glamor of the stage. We were thrilled by the MARGARET CALDWELL silence of the darkened hall, by the brilliance of the foot- lights, and by our own lapse from reality. Then the play was over, but will never be forgotten. The Patsy was a performance rich in laughter, sympathy, suspense, and love. Because of the trueness of the characters and the naturalness of the plot, it was sym- pathetically interpreted by the actors, and approvingly accepted by the audience. Elizabeth Call was a piquant, endearing Patsy . Her interpretation of the leading role, and her successful acting convinced us of her superb dramatic ability. Elmo Hutchinson, as Tony Anderson, aroused a wave of approval. From his first appearance he was a splendid leading man, a typical matinee idolf' The feminine part of the audience was ecstatic over him as the hero, and even the more critical males did not begrudge him their hearty applause. Blanche Billings as the tearful Mrs. Harrington, and David Fisher as blunt, slangy, good-hearted Pa Harrington, was very successful as the quarrelsome parents. Shirley Evans performed the role of Grace, Pat's vain and selfish sister, in a very creditable manner. Morgan Sorenson delighted everyone with the pleasing person- ality which he put into the role of lovable Billy Caldwell, Grace's fiance. Rhoda Smith as Sadie Buchanan, Carlos Dodge as Mr. O,Flaherty, and Taylor Murphy as Trip Busty helped greatly in making The Patsy a success. The performance was a credit to Miss Caldwell, who directed it, and to the school which it represented. From beginning to end it has a smoothness and fineness which are usually lacking in amateur productions. The unselfish cooperation of the members of the cast, and their willingness to support each other were felt and appreciated by the audience. The Patsy was one of the most perfectly presented, and generally well-liked plays which the L. D. S. has ever produced. l -- -56412452 --

P l r xggsa sx eaem - Q s A .a Lf . O 5 gi : ' s . - 5 I l MUSIC , The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, 1' Q Is fit for treasons, strategems, and spoils. I gi The above quotation probably explains the remarkable C : success of the L. D. S. music department this year, for I5 it has accomplished more than ever before. The music gl Gnokfnn H. DURHHAM classes were all unusually large. The mixed chorus and X Q the boys, and girls' glee clubs made an ensemble of about . y three hundred voices. The orchestra was composed of forty pieces. Q The glee clubs sang in many school devotionals, and church organizations, aft r l 0 civic clubs, and at state conventions. At the Founders' Day ceremony, the chorus G distinguished itself in the presentation of several beautiful selections. The Christmas I s .X Festival, which is a tradition at L. D. S., was given just preceding the holidays. The r 4- E f festival included the cantata, Glory to God by E. K. Heyser. The inspirings : l music of the cantata gave to the students and to the friends and patrons of the : g school an uplifed feeling of true Christmas spirit. : -Q The Firefly was presented at the West High Aud1tor1um on April 26. It was v- 1 an opera with lilting melodies and clever lines. It was directed by George H. Durham F and Miss Bessie Jones. The orchestra of the school, directed by Frank W. Asper, 3 9 played the entire score for the production. Though it was a great deal of Work and fd . 1 required much ability and thought to produce so successfully, the opera was enjoyed 4l ll immensely by both students of the school and outsiders. M l T Q William Lym directed the orchestra and band until shortly after the Christmas ,t ' ki vacation. Since his departure they have been under the supervision of Professor l X Frank W. Asper. l George'H. Durham, director of the choruses and head of the music department, l stated that the motto of the department was: What is worth doing is worth doing right. Its aim was to present only the best productions, and to give them in a finished and artistic manner. lt was apparent that both the motto and the aim were lived up to and observed by each individual of the music department.
