Friday evening at 8 o’clock at the high school auditorium an operetta entitled “Merry Milk Maids” will be presented under the auspices of the Woman’s Club. This operetta which, gives the story of a pretty romance in song, is an altogether pure, chaste and wholesome entertainment and those who enjoy good music have a delightful evening in store for them.
Miss Frances White, who teaches voice and public school music in the school, takes the part of the Dairy Queen. A dozen or more young ladies play the part of the milk maids, these young ladies being: Miss Irene Myatt, Lucille Johnson, Arah Hooks, Marie Ann Stevens, Rose Grantham, Dora Barbour, Nell Meacham, Irene Page Stevens, Mary Gattis Holland, Leo Ennis, Virginia Broadhurst, Carrie Young.
The part of the Commodore and the Beggar is placed by N.L. Perkins, who gives Paul Eason in the role of Farmer Jim, a chase for the affections of one of the milk maids, Miss Irene Myatt. Mr. Dwight Johnson plays the parts of the Doctor and the Pedlar, who persecutes the Commodore. Theron Johnson in the role of the Judge, adjusts matters. Other characters in the play are: the Captain (Millard Stallings), Farmer Joe (Ralph Talton), and the Farmer’s Brigade (Joe Honeycutt, Raymond Woodall, Thad Young, Bill Hooks and Millard Stallings).
Miss Helen Jones, one of the music teachers, will be the accompanist.
