Every one of the nine characters
played their part to the fullest extent,
and combined to make this the best
class play ever given in the Wausau
high school.
The play is classical one, the
scene CT which is laid in Athens.
PygmaIion, a sculptor, has made a
wonderful statue, using his wife,
Cynisca, as the model. In an i'm
plus moment he prays Tat the
statue may live. To pEnlsh his pre-
sumptious prayer the Gods grant his
wish and the statue, Galetea, becomes
a living, breathing woman. Because
of her ignorance and her love for
Pygmalion, she causes much trouble
and arouses the jealousy Of his wife,
Cynisca. She. being so empowered by
the goddess, Artemus, calls down
blindness upon her husband. She
caused an arrangement between
Myrine and her soldier lover, Leucip-
pc, and between Chrysos, an art
dealer and his wife, Daphne. At last
discovering her wrongs she, pre-
tends to be Cynisca 10 the blind
Pygmalion, so that he discloses his
real feelings toward Galeta, and Gym
isca who heard the conversation par
dons him, and as his sight is restored
he sees the heart broken Galeta
already a senseless block OF marble.
