IOLANTHE IN DIRE PLIGHT
Excellent Reason Why She Could Not
Appear When Her Cue for the
Stage Was Given.

Amateur theatrical companies are
broverbially courageous, and perhaps
that is the reason why the Puddle
combe Thespians selected 'Iolanthe" as
the means by which they would aston
lsh the natives. AS every lover of Gil
bert and Sullivan is aware, one of the
most effective scenes in the opera is
the rising of Iolanthe from the bed of
a beautiful river, and it seemed that
this scene would go particularly well.
The queen and fairies had sung their
welcome well, the Iimelight was full
on.
''Iolanthe! Come, Iolanthe!" sang
the fairies.
But Iolanthe did not appear.
The queen waved her wand fran
tically, and the fairies anxiously re-
peated:
II o Van tense pso I RlsaRth sIa te
element had communicated itself to
the audience. Again the invitation
was repeated, and then petulant
voice from beneath the waters silvery
surface was heard:
ooh, do be quiet!' it said. Cant
you see I'm caught on nail?"
