PURPLE 'fit COLD Dramatics Important Factor at McKinley Entire cast, 'cDU1lLghtGTS of Mohammed ' 1 mx, EAUTIFULLY designed costumes together with weird oriental music won the audiences in the presentation of Daughters of Mohammed, presented ' 'qi here January 4, 5, and 6th. . QQ Q' Due to the clever acting and jesting of Vitalio Avila, as King Moham- 47 A' ' K med, much mirth was added to the operetta. ' ' Three beautiful daughters of the king, Eunice Mueller, as Zada, Florence Vanna as Zorayda, and Arlene Ostrom as Zorahayda, with three gay cavaliers of Spain, Cassie Cecala, as the Red Cavalier, Albert Gianello, as the Green Cavalier, and Jack Gageby, as the Blue Cavalier, played the important roles. Farewell to My Garden, a pretty number, was sung by Arlene Ostrom. Antonio Correa, as the prison guard, made a hit with the audience when he sang, You Can't Trust a Woman Any Time, in the last act. The Veil and Scimitar Drills showed much preparation and rhythm. Another important role was Kadiga, the nurse, portrayed by Evelyn Halbert. Certainly the credit for the staging of the play belongs to the Art Department, for their designing, under the direction of Mrs. Tornquist, Miss Blank and Miss Scott, and to the sewing Department for the fulfillment of those designs, under Mrs. Williams' and Miss Noble's careful supervision, Finally the stage crew, under Mr. Gardner can. not be over looked in their efficient 'scene-shifting, which added to the comfort of the audience -George Sokol, S'27.
