STAMFORD

The operetta "The Pirates of Pen zance' which was given by the High school last night was thoroughly en- | joyed by the large number of people who attended. All the difficult num- bers were excellent rendered by the large chorus which were assisted by four soloists. Miss Judith Landberg, who took the part of "MabeI'' sang ex- ceI1ently did Miss Norma Weber, who took the part of Kate" The parts of Fred and the General were taken by MT. w. R. Main and MT. F. W. Roberts of New Havens They sang their parts which were rather difficult, very well. Probably the best numbers were the solo by "Mabel'' and the chorus numbers, "Go Ye Heroes and Take Heart!' Much credit is due MT. Clark for his work in drilling and directing the singing also to Miss Louise Dufour who accom- panied at the piano.
