NG 1USICAL PLAY A TRIUMPH FOR HIGHS THE GLEE CLUB GIRLS PRAISE. FOR "EGYPTIAN PRIN CESS" PRODUCTION A pleasant surprise was given the large; audience at the Duncan opera fcolise last' night that witnessed the High School Girls Glee club's operet-l ta, "The Egyptian Princess," a two act production. The source of sur prise was that an amateur organiza tion could stage so difficult a piece in such an excellent way. The play was excellent in Itself but the manner in which was given is what made it a success. The High School Girls Glee club played exceptionally well and did . credit to the school. The locale of the play, is Egypt, and the story deals with jhe course of affairs at the king's court, weaving in a pretty narrative in which a slave girl, fc' foreign queen, is captured by the king's army and when brought into the court discovers that Alva, a servant in the royal retinue, is her sister. The plays ends by both being freed and happiness reigning, and the pretty Princess Aida united In matri mony with a prince of Tunis,, her lover. Many clever ongs ana other interesting features are woven into the play., . . - The - fentirW icast played well, and credit for the; excellent work is due not only, to., .those who had' promin ent parts but to all. Perhaps the most charming character was Miss Elizabeth Coors, a young lady of fair beauty, who carried the role of the Princess Aida. Miss Coors sang ex ceptionally well1 and acted her role as the princess in a manner that was pleasing. Miss DeSaix Evans, Queen of Egypt, also played well. She looked like a queen, garbed in her gorgeous robes. Miss Chella Van Pet ten as Alva scored a hit with her singing and acting, Miss Van Petten was among the leading characters, and was perfectly at home on the sta-se. Miss Leona Greenclay, as a solo dancer, scored a hit with her charming interpretation of an Egyp tian dance. Miss Greenclay Is a young lady of dark beauty and in the part of a solo dancer she was decidedly popular. Miss Alice Connell, the queen who was captured by the king's army, had perfect enunciation, and although her part was short she proved one of the best liked charac 'ters. Every member of the cast la entitled to great credit. Theclosing of the first act was per haps the prettiest scene in the entire play, when light effects were used The pretty crimson light threw a glowing reflection all over the stage, displaying the elaborate, costumes of the cast In a charming way. The success of the play is due to Miss Chell Crozler, musical instructor of the city schools. Miss Crozier has been in Las Vegas only Fince . the opening Of the schools last fall and the result of her efforts, as displayed by the Girls Glee club last night,, de monstrates her abiltiy. The attendance was large, Which added to the success of the produc tion.
