Vl‘ 3 E BEMIDJI DAILY PIONE MINKESOTA | HISTORICAL — VOLUME 10. NUMBER 21. OPERETTA SYLVIA PLEASED CASS LAKE Was Presented There May 10 and Press Comments State it Was Favorably Received. TO BE REPEATED HERE Under Auspices of the Episcopal Church in City Hall Thurs- day Evening. THE LADIES ARE PRAISED Times’ Comment Says Miss Christen- sen and Mrs, Taylor Were Irre- sistably Charming. Press notices of the operetta Syl- via which wag presented in Cass Lake a week ago speak highly of the production. The operetta is {o be repeated in the Bemidji city hall on| Thursday evening under the auspic- es of the Episcopal church. In com- menting on the operetta, the Cass Lake Times said as follows: “That Cass Lake is the banner town for musical and dramatic tal- ent was proven conclusively last Fri- day evening when the operetta Syl- via was put on the Lyric stage. Miss May Mrs. Taylor shared the honors of the evening in their double roles and well did they deserve all the applause given them, as well as the encores. As Sylvia, Miss Christensen won the hearts of Christensen and the entire audience at once, her sweetness, loveliness and perfect un- derstanding of the two parts was in- comporable. Equally good was she! as a farmer’s daughter, assuming the role as though to the manner born. Nothing could be more exacting than the double role assumed by Mrs. Tay- lor, a farmer’s daughter and friend of Sylvia for whose amusement she| consented to “play the lady.” As a farmer’s daughter, Mrs. Taylor was the simple country maiden, dear and delightful, as Lady Sylvia she was ir- resistibly charming in her awkward- ness and fear of making a faux pas, Both actresses were in fine voice. their solos and duets were beautiful- ly rendered. “The two acts were given in the hay field, the curtain rising on a group of pretty girls raking hay. Very effective was this scens and their singing was more than effec- tive. As Sir Bertram DeLacy, Mr. Nason acquitted himself admirably, while Mr. Funck as Prince Tobbytum won new laurels, his stage presence as well as his voice were equally at- tractive. The chorus deserves more than passing mention. Under the skillful manipulation of Mr. Nason, as musical director, they were drilled to perfection, surprising the audience with the perfect blending of their voices a delight to the ear. As Sir Bertrand Mr. Nason’s compelling tenor assures him a place among ar- tists. Mr. Oestereich won many friends in his role of William as well as with his solos. “Between the acts, little Elverna Oman, the sweetest little tot imagin- able, brought down the house with a song which was heartily encored. “Miss Hazel Pease, in the difficulf position of piano accompanist, scored a triumph. “Altogether it was the prettiest and most successful affair ever staged in Cass Lake. Too much cannot be said for the efforts of Mr. Nason as the musical director, his teachings will be of lasting benefit to those! who were fortunate enough to re-| ceive his instructions. Mr. Funck as stage manager, and Mr. Gorenflo ag drill master, contributed a large share of the success of the operetta.” Mr. Nason has been heard in Be- midji as he was soloist for the band at early spring concerts. Big Colleges in Boat Race.

My- 235 West One Hundred and Third street and Clarence T. Bartlett, who are about twenty-one years old, ers of say they have invented a wireless tel- ephone that has proved effective and 700 to 1,000 miles under good con- ditions. Their invention is so tech- nical that a description of it would be useless, but they say it does not follow recognized methods in wire- less messages—that, in fact, it is di- rectly contrary to many accepted theories. The oral messages that they send through the air are occa- sionally clearly heard by wireless telegraph operators who receive their flashes through an instrument re- cembling a telephone receiver.
