The marionettes were brought here at the cost of $200. The first marionette play- was for children from the first t() the ftfth grades, the play was ..Jack and the Beanstalk." It was a very good play for the smaller children. This play was from 1 o'clock until about 2 :20 o'clock. "The King of the Golden River., was the play for the children from the fifth to the eighth grades. It Is a very good marionette play. The play shows how two brothers are unhonest. They treat their brother Luke as a slave, forbidding him to eat when he does not obey them. The valley In which they are farming drys up and no rain comes to aid them In raising their crops. Then the thre~ brothers go to manufacturing gold spnons with copper mixed ln. The two brothers do not have enough gold so they make Luke put his gold drinking mtJg in the ftre. The gold ' mug asks Luk~ to take him out of the fire. A little man jumps out and tells Luke that he Is the Kingof the Golden River, the river that runs by Luke's house. He tells Luke that If someone will g() to the source of the river and drop in three drops of holy water the rive&' will turn to gold but If the water Is unholy the person will tum Into a black :-:toneslab. Luke's two brothers try but have unholy water for the same reason. They both refused to give some to a thh·~t yman. Then Luke came along and was going to give s01ne water to the thh·sty traveler. .Just as he ts about to do t:i1ts, the traveler rises and is "the Kin~ of theGolden River. · He tells Luke to throvr his holy water In and Luke does so.
