SKOWHEGAN

The following men have been

ney, George Carron, Charles S.

Miss Margery Heberling of Towa
! City. Iowa, who arrived in town Mon
! day, is holding rehearsals both after
noon and evening for the operetta
“Kntcha-Koo,” which is to be given
on the 6th of April by the Women’s
club and the High sehool. Kateha
Koo is called an Oriental-American
FantasUque. It is said to he excep
tionally brilliant and entertaining.
Tags and window posters announcing
the operetta are being put out by the
committee in charge of the affair.
The following is the cast of Ihe lead
ing parts: Katcha-Koo. John H.
Jenkins; Maharajah. Kenneth Smil
ley; Dick Morton, Dr. It. A. Derby
shire: Harry Bradstone. Harold Pool
er; Doliie, Lnvinna Murray; Pru
dence, Evelyn St. Ledger: Mrs. Chat
tie Hadden, Mrs. Tjda Blunt; Salijah.

The story is as follows: Transfix
ed before the Maharajah’s private
temple of Buddah, in Itasputim. when
the piece opens, is a. notorious fakir
of Hunga. by the name of Katcha
Koo. He can do incredible stunts,
like all East-Indian fakirs, and
Katcha-Koo’s specialty is standing
for weeks perfectly immovable with
out talcing food. He always selects
some inappropriate and objectionable
spot so as to annoy and Irritate hts
victim and the people generally. Now
he has chosen the Maharajah of
Hunga as his present victim and has
placed himself directly in front of the
great Budda image. Supplications
and offerings of rich food or gems do
not move him until he is res-Jy to
move. Natives only supplicate or
present offerings for they are afraid
to make threats us they all dread the
fakir’s curses. Even the powerful
Easter Means
Hot Cross Buns
in the minds of thelittle ones, just as
Thanksgiving* means pumpkin pie and
Christmas means bulging stockings.
When you think of Hot Cross Buns,
think of the baker that makes them
most delicious—
And then order early—
15 cents per dozen

Maharajah himself dare not lay
hands on Kateha-Koo though he has
offered an immense reward to anyone
who can move the fakir. It remains
for two ingenious Americans to nego
tiate the job. Through the widow of
a wizard they secure a magical astral
suit of clothes, the last of its kind.
Each separate garment retains the
characteristics of the original owner.
The trousers, a Frenchmen's full of
politeness and desire to dance, the
shirt, a vagabond’s, making one care
free and happy; the vest, an Italian’s,
full of love and arias, and the coat an
American’s, full of life and pep. The
magical composite garment they suc
ceed in getting onto Kateha-Koo,
whose career then begins. His sub
sequent actions are dominated by the
trousers of the Frenchman, the shirt
of the vagabond, the vest of the Ital
ian and the coat of the American.
