PLAYERS 'Sweethearts' Reveals Much Talent; Will Be Repeated Before a large crowd of fond parents, proud students and de¬lighted townspeople, the Ogden High school music department pre¬sented that rollicking opera of Victor Herbert's, "Sweethearts," in the Weber County High school hall Thursday night. vlt will be re¬peated this evening at 8:15 o'clock. The opera, which is rather ma¬ture for high school presentation, was performed in an excellent manner by the students and ex¬hibited the earnest work put in by the cast. Miss Blanche Heed plays the so¬prano lead as Sylvia, princess of Zilonia. Miss Heed makes a viva¬cious laundry maid, a lovable fi¬ancee and a stately queen. She has a splendid voice, with exceptional carrying qualities, coupled with mature poise and stage manner. The lead opposite Miss Heed is played by Keith Corry, who takes the part of Franz, heir presumptive to the throne. Mr. Corry is slightly handicapped by a cold which robs his voice of consider¬able of its power, but gives a ster¬ling characterization of the hand- some prince. HOLDS ATTENTION While the theme of the play cen¬ters around the love affairs of Sylvia, the outstanding work of the evening is turned in by Kent Bramwell as Mikel, a diplomat of Zilonia, and Gladys Anderson as Paula, proprietress of the laundry of the White Geese. This pair practically steals the show and receives heavy applause for their acting. One of the most effective per¬formances of the evening is made by Miss Heed in the Angelus num¬ber, when she has denied her love for Karl, the dashing lieutenant, played by Don Corey. The scene is admirably acted. Outstanding work is also done by Don Corey, who has a pleasing baritone voice; Hessel Stowe as Honorable Percival Algernon Slingsby, Miss Helen Miller as Liane, a milliner of Bruges. Other principals are Royal Har¬rop as Petrus Van Tromp; Walton Foulger as Aristide Coniche, and Audrey Clark, Julia Jones, Eleanor Stevens, Beth Peck, Rachel Meadoway, Venna Hokanson, daughters of Paula; Richard Ballard as Cap¬tain Lourent and William Smiley as the footman. The production was directed by Ralph Peterson, music director ot the school, with Mark Robinson as staging director; LeConte Stewart, in charge of stage effects, and J. W. Connell as stage carpenter.

THE MODERN DAY SPORTS I have seen almost ever of modern sports now engageH on the field. Of these sportB games, in particular, have attf ed my attention. The very noticeable thing abort one of these games, golf, is ttlH man of normal intelligence chase a little ball around a field for the better part of a dfl and then brag about the ajM number of times he hit the ballfl The other game that I have observed is football. In/this a large and oval-shaped biHB used. The men, or boys, plaW will fight until they are deat necessary, to put this ball over opposite goal. The encounter either the golf ball or the foot is said to be very good for health, as it gives exercise to body. Golf is usually play- men who are fat and need exerd while football is played by who are slim and need less ccise than any other men I kn il Now, from all the rules for M ness of things, I am convinced t the players of these two gaij, should be interchanged; the men should play football and slim men, golf. STAN WHITAKER. CONGRESS Monday night Congress met a A picked out Forum's coffin. I really is quite an elaborate affalV considering for who it is.
