Capacity audiences greeted the presentation last week and a record crowd is expected to- morrow night. If you have not seen "Miss Cherrybossom" you have miss» 1ed one of the rarest treats seen here“ lin some time. It's real good from? ‘start to finish. The music is delight- ful and the whole production. provides 'an ideal evening's entertainment. The presentation of “Miss Cherry- blossom" took Richmond Hill and district by storm and won the unanâ€" imous approval of its audiences. All members of the caste were exception- ally well suited to their various roles, and all took their parts with out~ standing success. The stage scenery was beautiful and was all the work of local artists, Mr. W. A. Wright, Miss Mildred Wright and Miss Kay Flew- man being responsible for the work. LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS THE OPERETTA ‘MISS CHERRYBLOSSOM’ The story of the play had its set- ting in Japan, the land of beauty and romance and the stage scenery do. picted a. typical Tea Garden mid the cherryblossoms and all the natural beauty of the land of the rising sun. The title role of Miss Cherryblossom was ably taken by Miss E. Olive Switzer, who cleverly depicted the part of a Japanese girl and was heard in excellent voice in several vocal selections. Miss Che'rryblossom was the daughter of American parents who died of the fever in Japan and ‘she had been brought up as a Japam ‘ese girl by her foster parent Kokemo who was a Tea Garden proprietor. Kokemo who was deeply attached to his ward Oherryblo-ssom because her wiaaomé chanffs) were a valued asset.“ in his business, was played bye-“Mr. Wes Middleton. His work in this role Was a feature of the presentation. Kokemo was the typical quick witted innâ€"keeper and his' antics and bright sayings provided the comedy of the evening. Mr. Middleton carried off the part to perfection. Kokemo had deeply laid plans to marry the at- tractive Cherryblossom to the mighty Togo, an influential and) wealthy poli- tician. The high and mighty Togo was ably played by Mr. John Wilson who depicted in true fashion the ar- rogant Jap. Mr. Worthington, a wealthy American broker the former secretary' to the father of Miss Cherryblossom, was capably portray- ed by Mr. J. Roy Herrington. Worth- ington had assumed the daughter of his former employer had also died of the fever and he had used the pro~ perty which rightfully belonged to her for his own use. On a return pleasure trip to Japan with a com- pany of friends he accidently strolled into Kokemo’s tea. garden and was surprised to learn Miss Cherryblossom was alive. It suited both his, purpose and Kokemo’s wishes tp keep the facts, of the case a secret and so it was agreed nothing should be‘ told Cherryblo'ssom. The unexpected hap- pened when John Henry Smith a mem ber of his party fell madly in love with Miss Cherryblos‘som. John Henry Smith was played by Mr. Rand Phipps who was heard in many atâ€" tractive numbers with Miss Cherry- blossom. The plans of Jack and Cherryblossom to outwit the mighty Togo and Kokemo prove very inter- esting and amusing. Mr. W. Lauder Glass as Henry Foster Ja'mes and Miss Dorothy Angle as Jessica Van- derpool, a niece of Mr. Worthington, both members of the yachting party, have a little love affair all their own and their affairs proved no less in- teresting and amusing than those of Jack and Cherryblossom and their vocal numbers were delightful fea- tures of the evening. James Young, secretary to Mr. Worthington, was played by Mr. Lewis Clement. The story ends happily, true love winning out with Jack and Cherryblossom get- ting married much to the chagrin of the mighty Togo Wllu also suffered financial and political misfortunes and presented a pitiful picture in the final scene. Misses Mildred Sims, Pauline Angle "RUSTY" WHI Jean Middleton, Isobel Coulter, Lola ROCHESTE Jones, Betty Rumble and Margaret STAR Coulter as Geisha'girls in Kokemo’s “Rusty” White, tea garden contributed much to the‘crosse star, goes success of the show and their chorus- Saturday, March : es were very much enjoyed.
