MUSICAL SHOW TITLE CHOSEN ‘The Prince of Pilsen’ Will Be Annual Production of Department —4 — “The Prince of Pilsen,” Gustav Luder’s musical comedy, will be the 1932 junior college opera, accord¬ ing to Miss Lula C.

Tryouts will be held the first week of January, and all students interested in securing parts welcome, Miss Parmley said, but all of the cast and chorus must be members of the second semester glee clubs. Great Favorite “The Prince of Pilsen” has al¬ ways been a favorite because of its humorous dialogues, tunes and clever plot. On the stage it has had long runs, and the film version with George Sidney as the Dutch¬ man from “Zinzinatty” was a suc¬ cess. It is expected that this opera will rival in extravagance of pro¬ duction any previous performance of the music department. DR.
