CLASSICAL SCHOOL PLAY TONIGHT.
The annual play of the Girls Classical
School will be given tonight at the Eng
lish Opera House. There will be about
sixty performers and the principal parts
will be taken by the seniors OF the school.
Dido the play to be given, is a drama
tization of VirgiPs "Aeneid." and it gives
opportunities for beautiful costumes and
scenic effects as well as a chance to ex-
hibit dramatic ability. The play is pre-
scented in three acts of several scenes
each. The first act opening with a hymn
to Dawn by a chorus of Carthaginian
maidens depicts the arrival of Aeneas and
his crew; the appearance of Venus in the
guise of a huntress, who directs him to
the city, the meeting with Dido, the plots
of the goddesses and the thunderstorm
~ A0N~N - 4-hNN~ go y
The subsequent acts portray the complaint
of Larbus TO Jupiter, the consequent warn
ing TO Aeneas, his leave taking to the
queen, and the despair and suicide of
Dido. While Aeneas and Dido are the
central figures a brilliant setting is made
by the numerous gods and goddesses, who,
as protecting deities of each, display their
powers and craftiness, and the soldiers,
knights and ladies form a brilliant assem-
blage. The songs interspersed through
the play add greatly to its charm and eff
fectiveness. Edgar A. Morris is stage di-
rector and the performers have been drilled
by Miss Caroline Hardwick, instructor of
elOcution at the school. Tickets for the
play may be purchased at the opera house
