The Latin dep artm ent.of the BAra
zoe High school played the classic
tragedy, Dido, the Phoenician Q1een
to a packed house on Wednesday
evening. The production, which
-eyinced excellent training on the part
of the performers, was distinguished
by a uu Atty seldom found TO any ex-
tert in amateur performances, the
onalitv of atmosphere. The cos umes,
scenery and choruses all did their part
in bringing this about; this can be
chiefly attrlb 1ted to the very
fine acting of the NJ ,ssos Oi i've White
and Doris Ru g9, who imp3r-
sonated Dido and Aeneas, the
more important characters. Histronic
ability was shown by every member
of the cast; the NJ amer ia whica the
Young Gc5ors entered into the spirit of
q play So alien to their own eX perl
ence was truly remarkable. The cur
tain rose on q chorus of Phoenician
maidens, which was followed by an
affective scene in which The same
group kneel before Juno's altar and
sang, Wake Aurora.
AS the singers leave the s6ags,
Aeneas and AchACes enfer the wood,
Here they meet the Goddess Venus,
diseu uised as huntTess. Dido aud her
attendants come to the temple and the
other TrCj ms, who were though
to be lost In the sea appear 1Ii1oneuF,
the leader, addresses DtIo. AeneGs
nqkes himself known and Dido in
vites the visit rs to banquet I rougA-
out the play the g)4s aad goddess $
vanish in burst of gory, the ef-ct
being secured by darkening the stage
and thro wing Sp)GlishF Oa the IND
mortal. AS the hu 1tress van1sheS she
assumes her own torm and appears
in The flowing robes # the goddess OF
d eauty.
In the second scene of Act l, Venus
asks her son, Cupid, TO lmpeTsona1e
Al census, The son of Aeneas, appear
at The banquet and using his supet-
natural powers, over rWhelm Dido win
love for Aeness.
The part of Cupid, interpreted by
Ruth Mildred Dyrud, csptivated ths
audience. AT the next scene, that OF
The banquet the attenGents sing, the
flowing b1Wl is passed and all isgaIety
and mIrsh. Venus is successful IN he
de signs, the q leeu is hopelessly inf al
uated with the Troj ~ hero. That nigh
Anna, the queens sister, urges her 1C
yield to her .ove for Aeneas. Dilo dc
cides that since she has oeen fail 4fui
for many years to the memory of bel
dead husband and avenged his destn,
she is justified in wedding AenesS.
In ActIIG. Mercury appears anu
reminds Aeneas of his qusst, enid
ing him for having forgotten IL foI
even so short tine. Aeneas gives
orders to prepare The ships Tor imme-
digle departure. DIDO percelveS bis
intentions aod delivers the flmous
speech In which she first p;eads with
her faithless lover, warns him an
tinslly threatens tnat size will haunt
him, make nIs undertakings hapess
aud tinslly That emnity shall always
exist between Carthage aud Italy
