There has been considerable outlay of time and money in order jto
jglve the people of the community an
opportunity of enjoying a plea'sant
evening and at the same time giving
a boost to our library fund.
Aside from the music which is
catchy and sparkling, there is plenty
of humorous dialogue which brings
out the acting ability of the performers.
Elaborate costumes, wigs and what
not have been ordered from Madam
.Schultze in Grand Rapids.
Mrs. Gumser will be costumed in
the second act in the latest spring
styles compliments of the Wm H.
Biclcnell & Co's store, "
The choruses are all blight and full
of action. Men- and women of the
chorus will be costumed alike. The
style was borrowed from their Chinese cousins, black pantaloons and
yellow smocks
There are committees working on
the stage setting and you will no
doubt see*a fine reproduction of a
Japanese Garden.
If you want to see Mr. Gumser and
Mrs McGuire make love in gushing
fashion, come. They don't make love
with each other, however. One week
from Friday night high school auditorium, eight o'clock.
Remember the date, February 29th
The Japanese Operetta *
Is for folks Who like song,
Buy tickets for the family
And bring each member along.

WHERE THERE'S A WILL
THERE'S A WAY
In the Daily Illustrated News, of
Los Angeles, Cal., under date of February 1st, which was recently 'received
by the Sentinel, appeared a large half
tone illustrating a new circular saw
and stand which had recently been in
stalled in at the Budlong avenue
school, of that city. In the picture is
shpwn -Principal E. G. Welch, former
editor of The Sentinel, along with two
scholars and the teacher of Manual
Training.
The boys and girls of the school,
under the direction of Mr: Welch,
were responsible for the installing of
the new equipment and secured same
by the selling waste paper. This is a
sample of what can be done, where,
there is a will.
WM. HUDSON REPORTED
GAINING RAPIDLY
Dover Correspondent
• The many friends of William Hudson will be interested in*the following
item: You will remember that about
September 1st, 1923, Will was seriously injured Jn a truck accident near Toledo, Ohio, where he was employed by
his brother, Robert, on the public highway. After the accident Will was
taken to a Toledo hospital, where an
expert surgeon was employed to care
for him. He has been there ever
since until last week when, his doctor
left" the hospital for a few days. Will
became disco araged and somehow
worked himself home to Bancroft, O.,
then phoned his brother, Robert, who
came and took him to an Owosso
hospital where/ he underwent another
•operation. A decayed bone four
inches in length which had been splintered off of the large bone between
the hip and the knee, was removed,
and since then he is gaining rapidly.

. Look-for the program-of- the" Japanese' Operetta.    "It.ia in The Sentinel,
Once in a great many years a genius writes the kind of play that meets
all requirements, telling a story in a
simple but effective manner, imparting a message of hope, cheer and
beneficial thots and sending us away
from the theatre with a higher opinion of humankind than possibly we
had when we entered. If a play does
this it is fulfilling its greatest mission.
"Daddy Long Legs" is one of the
most human, most appealng plays
available On the American- stage; It
naturally touches a responsive" chord
in the hearts of the younger genera;
tion, yet it moves fathers and mothers
quite as deeply. "Daddy Long Legs"
tells the story o'f "Judy, a little drudge
In a bleak orphanage. One day a
visiting trustee becomes interested in
her and decides to give her a chance
She does not know the name Of her
benefactor 'but writes him letters
brimming over with fun and affection.
From the foundling home she goes to
a fashionable college for t girls and
here developes the romance which
constitutes much of the play's charm.

so that at the end of the day we will
have negotiated the 337 miles, if it is!
only up and down Washington
