to Write A Plav," which By ADA C. SELL "Come to our fiesta!" Seems to me that short phrase, the melody of which runs through my head after enjoying the Theo dore Roosevelt High school an nual show Thursday night, suggest! the very atmosphere of "Spring Roundup," a junior high presentation "hard to beat!" Make it a must for you Friday night, if you have not seen "the show in the Roosevelt, auditorium which was packed Thursday, the first of two nights. Makes you think of Walt Whitman and wide open spaces, and fairly snouts, Go west, young i man! and young woman! None ot the guns the cowbovs and cowgir's flour ish are loaded, you will have two hours and a half of unadulterated pleasure, the unmitigated type. You will go away singing "Getting Acquainted," "It's a Great Day for Living," and a number oi other hit songs. You will hear a gem, "I Have a Love Sonar In My Heart" by Rennie, dudines and cov boys, and many, r.

other splendid selections of music, dancing, and clever acting as you watch the operetta, "Meet Arizona." Who could forget Lavinia, who wants to be wild and woolly while in Arizona" Or Arizona Tom and his stories, best of hich is how he single-handedly captur ed 12 brothers, all bank robbers, by shooting off their trigger fingers, bandaging them and roping mem togeiner to oung incur oacs to 'town behinc his "hoss." Every story he tells, "You can Put Is Down As True" so sang the charming dudines of the Dude, Dude, Dude ranch! Was there a will? come and enjoy the show find out. The comedy, "Roughly Speakmg," was thoroughly enjoyed, too, by the audience. With its well-knit plot, built up by so many want ing the "roughhouse, and certainly enhanced by the interest the daughter of the house, with her delicate attractiveness, had in the uncouth and budding novelist, so well cast many laughs guaranteed! Anyone suffering from overwork or ennui or plain grouchiness will be cured by looking at "Spring Roundup." The show is double cast and by means of actors, dancers, tumblers, cowboys, dudines, choruses, orchestra, has hundreds participating, as an annual show in a junior high should. The production staff also deserves a share, and a big one, in the laurels. So do the following: General director, Alice E.
