On circus day just nee that mule dressed up in punts! Sec the elephant do the hootchtekootchie dance! Yes, these and many more of our friends?the Fat lardy, Giro, the aiiake-chai jnei, Dinkey, the* clown, and Zora, the famous tight-rope walker, will be with us in "Kings of the Sawdust," Friday night, May 6, at the school auditorium promptly ?t K:30 o'clock. Besides these splendid attractions, ulwuys popular, a chorus of fifty voIccr will add charm and much fun with its sparkling gay song hita and high class up-to-date steps. While Billy Lindsay, as Toby Dunn, the hero and owner of the qircuH, and Moldy Blackwcll, as Sally Squeeze^), the heroine, fall victims of alluring romance, and as is often the case, meet with much disapproval from Sally's austere and irate father, Banker ?queezem, whose role is splendidly done by Maurice Campbell. The plot is made very interesting point by n gay and debonair young widow who at onee sallies forth with all her charms to woo and win the banker. To relieve this awkward situation is the helper of the circus, Dinky, with the never-failing Irish wit, and Inky, the darky helper, who is equally as fine in his part. These, through the entire performance, give of their best wit and snappy jokes bringing forth peals of laughter at various and unexpected intervuls. There are others quite as fine, though too numerous to mcn1 tion, all being members of the high school glee club who have very important roles and do them in a splendid and capable manner. Under the direction of Misses Isabel Bunkley and Betty Hnile, who arc quite efficient and capable in every way, every effort is being made to make this the one big show of the year.
