operetta Is Most Beautiful.


A most beautiful production is the
operetta, "The Tardy Shedherdess," :"
which was given last Tuesday night
at the o. c. w. auditorium. With
the exception of "Everywoman, which
has a moral phase, nothing has been
given in Chickasha recently to excel
this pretty play. The music is quite
equal to that of Chadwick, the dances
arc very artistic and the fairy story
most Interesting.
The prologue to this pretty play
tells us that years ago when the world
was young and everyone believed in
fairies, goddess and her train lived
IN forest guarding the birds and
flowers, 1t was their custom on May
day each year from dusk until dawn
to assume mortal shapes and spend
the night in revelry.
The first scene opens with the
nymphs and shepherdesses preparing
for the annual festivities. Sylvia,
shepherdess. while hunting her sheep,
meets swain, whom she had seen and
loved the year before on May night,
and the second act Is a love scene
between Sylvia and the swain, in
which he begs her to remain a mortal
and be his bride.
The third act opens with the
nymphs putting the finishing touches
to the throne where they are to crown
their goddess, Queen of May. The
heralds announce the queen and after
she is crowned, the festivities begin.
When the first rays of dawn appear,
Morning, who lies slumbering on the
grass, stirs, and as the music grows
more brilliant, she slowly awakens
and rising, dances before the queen.
As she fits away to announce day
break TO the world. the shepherdesses
dance. They are followed by the vio-
let's. who sing and dance. then kneel
to pay homage to their queen. But
tercup is next with a dainty little
dance, and Johnny-Jump-Up follows,
making love to Buttercup, but she
spurns him because he is too little. A
little FREELY, soon followed by several
more, fits in, circling round and
round. After they dance, the honey
bees come to sip honey from the
flowers. Two dewdrops follow to
dance for their queen, and then come
six beautiful yellow butterflies. Jack
Frost rushes in to nip the little flow
ers, but he soon melts away under
the queens warm smile. The moon
beams now dance across the forest,
and then the bugle blows sending
the fairies back to their trees. The
Queen calls them to return and bid
farewell to Sylvia, who must remain
a mortal, the bride of the swain, aud
as dawn breaks the play closes with
the farewell chorus of the fairies.
The cast was as follows:
