band of vicious huntsmen, whose reck-
wrath of the forest gods. The hunts
men were transformed into gnomes and
condemned to wander forever through
the dark forest. Many years later an
other band .:of huntsmen entered the
forest and began to kill the game by
wholesale. They encountered the
gnomes and were warned of the prob
able consequences of their recklessness
So they desisted and in: gratitude per-
suaded the forest gods to restore the
gnomes to human form.
The libretto was adapted from an old
English ballad by Edwin Dunbar Gram
dalli a member of the club and leader
OF the, Orpheus. Oakland's leading
musical organization, who also COM
posed the music. The weird songs of
the gnomes and the swinging choruses
of the hunters were full OF artistic
beauty while the solos. particularly
that sung by DIR. Harry Carlton as the
chief gnome. were extremely effective.
Sons OF the Nile 1lled all OF the roles
of the operetta and filled them like VET
eran opera singers. Abe Leach as a
forest god, DR.. Harry Carlton as the
chief gnome, and Carl Anderson, chief
of the huntsmen, who sang the leading
tenor parts, won storms of plaudits.

and Ernest McCandlish distinguished
themselves by their singing
The scenic effects were brilliant and
elaborate. In arranging them the mem
bers OF the Nile club were assisted by

coachi Il. p. Duffey, director of cleo
trieal effects; George Lyon, scenic ar
tist. and Jack Merritt, costumer

ally large, the chorus including so
