And then they condemned poor
Yum-Yum — sweet Yum-Yum — to
be — or rather Nanki-Poo was going
to — but then Ko-Ko, the Lord High
Executioner — well, anyway, they all
fell into a beautiful complication,
and it took all of W. S. Gilbert’s
skill to fish them out again. That’s
why the Mikado is so full of sur¬
prises that it leaves you gasping—
with laughter — because Gilbert
"drew a couple of characters who
just wouldn’t behave, dressed them
in kimonos (shades of Captain Cor¬
coran’s brass buttons!) threw in
the executioner to help keep them
progressing, and then turned the
whole lot over to Sir Arthur Sulli¬
van, who set them to music that
you’ll hum for months afterward.
That’s the Mikado.
It’s coming off Wednesday after¬
noon and Friday evening, March 14
and 16. Seats will probably go on
sale next week, which is the best
‘time to buy them if you want to
get in. The Mikado is going to
surpass anything and everything
the Music department has ever pro¬
duced, and there will be a lot of
pople there to prove it.
Everything connected with the
performance is moving along at top
speed. Arrangements are being
made for the scenery, which is go¬
ing to fit even better than it did in
Pinafore, in which they said you
could see the little fishes jump up
out of the waves on the back drop.
Betty Rust and John Flory, under
the direction of Miss Cecile Hind¬
man, assistant musical director, are
arranging for kimonos with “all the
fixin’s” for a cast of close upon 60.
Miss Elizabeth Keppie and Prof.
Abraham Miller, who have charge
of the dramatic and vocal work, are
coaching their branches into per¬
fection, while the special orchestra
which is rehearsing under the lead¬
ership of Hubert H. Parker, orches¬
tra director, and Miss Hindman, is
mastering all the hard parts in the
score.
But just you wait until you see
what happened to- Yum - Yum —
sweet Yum-Yum!
JOLLY-UP PARTY TO BE
GIVEN FOR NEW GIRLS
“An Acquaintance Game” is the
feature of the program of the Jol¬
ly-Up Party to be given by the
Senior girls for their Freshmen
sisters in the tennis courts this
afternoon at 3:30.
Annually, the Senior girls give
their Freshmen sisters a party,

quainted.
“This year’s party has the pros¬
pects o’f the best ever given,” was
a statement made by Helen Bums,

who is in charge of the affair.
FATHER AND SON FEED
WILL BE HELD IN APRIL
In order to stimplate interest
among the parents and students,
and to enable the faculty to be¬
come x better acquainted with the
parents, a get-together banquet is
to be held soon.
According to an announcement
made by Arthur Syvertson, Com¬
missioner of Boys’ Welfare, the
banquet will be held in April.
Definite plans have not been com¬
pleted, but it is thought that such
an event would be of great benefit.

That “Rip Van Winkle” and
“Uncle Wiggily” are two of the"
most popular comedies presented
by world-famous Tony Sarg’s Mar¬
ionettes, has been evidenced by the
acclaim with which these two fav¬
orites of the puppet show, have
been received throughout the land,
in the various schools, colleges,
theatres, and institutions where
they have been given. The Im¬
provement club of P: H. S., co-op¬
erating with the Commissioners,
and student body, are bringing
these two puppet productions to
the Pasadena High School audi¬
torium for the afternoon and eve¬
ning of Saturday, March 10.
“Uncle Wiggily” will be given in
the afternoon, while Washington
Irving’s “Rip Van Winkle” will be
the evening’s offering. The prices
are 50c, 75c, and one dollar. As
considerable expense was incurred
in bringing the Marionettes to Pas¬
adena, and only certain portions of
the auditorium , those in direct line
of the stage, can be used, it is im¬
perative that these performances be
well supported. The money made
from the entertainment will be used
in purchasing of a large picture for
the main hall of the Horace Mann
building.
“Rip Van Winkle,” Washington
Irving’s old American folk legend,
as presented by Tony Sarg’s Mar¬
ionettes, undoubtedly achieves the
pinnacle of artistic and technical
perfection in the realm of the min¬
iature drama. The play is in seven
scenes, each teeming with that
quaint and fascinating atmosphere
so typical of the early Dutch
settlers.
Tony Sarg, illustrator and car¬
toonist of international reputation,
has the distinction of having re¬
vived the ancient art of the puppet
play in this country. The little
wooden-headed actors have wound
themselves around the public’s in¬
fections and made their creator
famous from coast to coast. De¬
signed originally merely for his
own amusement and the diversion
of friends visiting his picturesque
Greenwich Village studio, Tony
Sarg’s puppets have scored suc¬
cesses in many part of the country.
Many schools and colleges, such as
the Yale Dramatic Club, have given
performances. Many papers em¬
ploying famous critics, have given
favorable comments on Tony Sarg
and his accomplished . helpers.
Clayton Hamilton, writing for the
Vogue, Redfem Mason, one of the
best known critics of the Pacific
coast, writing for the San Francis¬
co Examiner, and many other noted
critics, combine in their praises of
this young American artist’s re¬
markable genius.
The' Marionettes are made in ex¬
act anatomical proportion and all

Do you enjoy a movie with
thrills, a real flesh-and-blood hero,
magnificent settings, stirring
scenes of action, in which thousands
of people are taking part, a thread
of love running through, and a
climax that makes you hold your
breath? You are in luck if you
do for you are going to have an
opportunity to see just such a pic- !
ture Monday, March 5, at 3:30 in i
the High School auditorium, given
under the auspices of the Latin De¬
partment.
This six-reel dramatic film will
appeal to any student, but espec- I
ially to those who have read j
Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” j
studied Ancient History or read
the original writings of Caesar. It
is an Italian film and many of the
scenes are taken on the sight of
the Roman Forum. The scenes of
battle in Gaul and the senate scene
where the assassination of Caesar
occurs are especially well done.
You will enjoy music furnished j
by a High School orchestra made 1
up of students from the Latin de-
! partment. The price of admission j
will be 15c and the proceeds are to ;
[ benefit the High School Memorial
Scholarship Fund.

J. F. West succeed in raising $500
for a school loan fund, the Pasa¬
dena Rotary Club has promised to

ing a total of $1,000. Each year
they will try to carry out this plan.
In order to start the fund, an en¬

the afternoon of March 22 and the
evening of March 23. The pro¬
gram will be given by departments
of P. H. S. and organizations of
Pasadena.

ical Education department under
the direction of W. F. Dunn. The
girls’ corrective gym work will be
ilustrated on the stage and with
“movies” by Miss Hazel Cooper.

according to general all-around fit¬
ness, character, education, abil¬
ities, and good citizenship. This
applies to both boys and girls.
