OAHU STUDENTS
PREP airing FOR
OPERA

The production of an opera, even
under the supervision Of experts and
with every possible facility, is a big
task, bigger than the majority of the
people would like to undertake. There
are a thousand and one things that
must be done; things that appear un-
important and are apt to be sighted
by an amateur but in reality are the
opera itself. There are costumes to
be attended to, the setting of the stage
to look out for, and more important
than all, the training, of the partici-
pants. Such is the task that has been
undertaken. by the students OF Puma
hou for the purpose of producing the
opera, "The Chimes of Normandy"
which is to be given on the evenings
of Friday and Saturday, May 9Th and
10th, in Charles r. Bishop Hall, Puma
hou
Preparations were begun month
is as much to be done as has already
been accomplished. The choruses and
leads have been drilled over and over
and much of the roughness has been
taken off but there is still lot to do.
The stage is in the Charles R. Bishop
hall, has been enlarged at a consid-
cradle cost to suit the needs of the
opera settings and at present a corps
of dressmakers is at work making six
ty. costumes for the choruseS and
leads. The opera is to be produced in
the best style possible and Jnes splen-
did drilling of the student actors and
actresses will remove any traces of
amateurishness that might have been
evident. The. great fault with most
student or amateur productions is the
air of the amateur which surrounds
them all and which only hard and re-
lpeated work can eliminate. Miss
Heten Latham, who is in charge Of the
productions has made splendid prog
ress in the elimination of this fault
! and through her work and that of the
students the opera will undoubtedly be
the great success that it is expected.
1.-The Chimes of Normandy" Is light
opera in three acts and when produced
on the coast by professionals 1t met
with great success. The principal
leads are given to Miss Latham, Miss
Louise Churchill and Allan Renton.
There are four choruses, two of boys
and two Of girls These choruses are
one of the best features of the opera
and a great deal of time is being spent
on bringing them up to the mark. This
opera will without doubt, not only be
the biggest student enterprise OF the
year but also the best.
