CHORAL UNION BIG HIT WITH MIKADO Running along with a really professional air, The Mikado, presented last evening in the Santa Ana high school auditorium by the Orange-co Choral society, pleased the hundreds of appreciative listeners from all parts of the county. Anaheim, an usual, in a musical entertainment, was well represented, both on the stage and in the audience. As Yum Yum, Mrs. Arthur Arnold May, until a year ago, resident of Anaheim, and well known for her vocal and dramatic ability, was her own able self in the cute little Japanese girl delicacies. Her two sisters were Pitti Sing, Mrs. Dorotheg Parker and Peep Bo, Miss Ruth Frithingham. Maurice Phillips, as KoKo, was a serenity and particularly a strong character. The Mikado, M. T. Taylor; Nunke Poc, Ray Miles; Pooh Bob, Robert Brown; Pith Tush, Fred Wiles; Katinka, Edith Cornell, all were delightfully fine and proficiently performed. Harry Warne, the Mikado's attendant, was consistently and persistently attentive to the Mikado's attendant, was consistently ludicrous. In all, the "Mikado" was interpreted by the best group of leads the society has ever featured. The orchestra, compased of volunteers from all over the country, was in perfect sympathy with the soloists, and ably assisted by Otto Krusel, with first violin. The stage was beautifully decorated and the performers were showered with flowers from their admirers. Under the direction of Ellis Rhodes, the presentation has gone along smoothly from its first rehearsal. His painstaking direction has been met with whole-hearted response from the cast most important to the chorus, and his ability is proven by the perfect rendition of the operetta. The Mikado will be repeated this evening. MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR SPANISH VETS Spanish American War Veterans will attend memorial services at the First Presbyterian Church, corner Santa Ana. Citrus Growers Rap Fake Tree Doctors The Citrus Growers Committee of the Farm Bureau has taken a definite stand against fake tree doctors. At their last meeting, a resolution was passed asking the Horticultural Commissioner to examine the qualifications of all tree doctors operating in Orange County and require a license of them. A report has just been received by the Committee of the operations of a fake doctor in San Jose, which reads: "It has long been known that bricks are of considerable value as a means of eradicating certain pests of the higher vertebrate species, including cats and book agents, and as such are mechanical agencies and nont covered by the Economic Poison Law. However, when it comes to grinding up bricks and injecting the substance into trees and claiming thereby to eradicate all treeills, from brown rot to wolly aphis, the Inspectors of the Division of Chemistry proceed to wear their stars on the outside of their coats. Inspector Bolts of the San Francisco Territory turned his Ford coupe into a "Black Marie" and placed a gentleman from Oregon, a William Helntzelman, in the San Jose jail, attho, according to the prisoner's statement "He was saving the horticulture of the entire valley" by the injection of a wonderful compound composed of brick dust, sulphur and soda. It seems that Horticultural Commissioner Cody and Judge Whitten were not in a very agreeable mood on the morning of the trial and as a result the prune orchards of California can go to the dogs as far as Heintzelman is concerned, since he has shaken the dust of California off his feet. The Division of Chemistry hopes he has taken his brick dust with him as it has no place in California orchards.

DISTINGUISHED CAST PRESENTS PRISONER The cast of "The Prisoner," the Universal screen dramatization of George Barr McCutcheon's "Castle Craneyow," which will be shown at the United Theatre tonight and Saturday, with Herbert Rawlinson in the starring role, is unusual much as it contains only players who have won their way to the top rank by years of hard work. There are no players in it who rose to fame "in a night." Rawlinson himself is a star not only because of his popularity but because in several years' consistent success he earned the rank. Eileen Percy, the leading woman has been a star in her own right for a long period, and so has Jure Elvidge, who plays the secondary female role. Bertram Grassby, in the "heavy role," graduated into pictures from several years' consistent work on the state. Esther Kalston, Lincoln Stedman, Lillian Langdon, George Cowle, Hayford Hobbe, Bert Sprotte and Borin Karloff are all popular players of recognized standing. The program also includes Bobby Dunn in "Salt Air" and a Pathe Review. URGE ABOLISHMENT OF STUDENT CONTROL Abolishment of "rube days," circuses and similar features at the Santa Ana High School is urged by Dr. Roy S. Horton, a member of the board of education. Students have been too free in leaving the school grounds during the noon hour, it is declared also. Among the other things which may be abolished are athletic contests on school days, payment of fees or deposits for school books or locker keys and student control of student affairs.

CORVALLIS, Oregon, May 25.—That the world is not a large place after all, is the opinion of Kenneth Goodale and Martin Leuschner, two local boys who graduated from Anheim high school in 1920 and 1921 respectively. "Ken" is a junior in commerce at the Oregon Agricultural college, Corvallis, Oregon, while "Mart" is a sophomore at the University of California. "Ken" was chopping wood in the basement of the Alpha Pi Delta fraternity house yesterday, when the basement door opened and in walked Martin. The unexpected meeting arose out of the following circumstances. Martin Leuschner is serving his second year as a member of the California glee club. The club is now making a tour of the United States and Canada, and Corvallis was one of the stops on the schedule. "It was just by chance that I saw your name in the college directory," said Leuschner, "so I came right over." Last year the glee club from the University made an extended trip thru the Orient, expects to spend the summer of 1924 touring Europe. Goodale is a member of the Alpha Pi Delta fraternity at O. A. C., and is also active in the Mask and Dagger dramatic society, and Scabbard and Blade, national honorary military fraternity.
