LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR TO BE
PLAYED TONIGHT ATAUDITORIUM
Lbreto Here GiDen of 4Act Grand Opera Adopted From
SCOTS NODel; Music by Donizefi

The story of Lucia di Lammer-
moor" a grand opera in four acts,
adapted from Walter Scotts novel,
with music by Donizetti, portrays a
deadly feud between the clans of Ra-
venswood and Lammermoor, with the
latter in the ascendency, having re-
duced Edgar of the former house, the
last of his race. almost to penury. This
is the situation at the opening of the
opera.
The first act explains the complex
situation somewhat in explaining that
Henry Ashton, of LammermoQr, whose
position is not wholly safe by reason
of his being entangled in certain
Jacobite conspiracies, wishes his sister
Lucy to marry q certain lord who is
powerful at the English court. Lucy
has been accustomed to meet in the
park daily a young cavalier who had
once saved her from a great danger.
The two love each other. The mys-
terious lover happens to be Edgar of
Ravenswood, Ashton's bitterest enemy.
Ashton sends to kill him, but he has
escaped from his castle.
Edgar in the second act ventures
his life in a secret visit to the park to
meet Lucy, accompanied by her friend
Alice. The lover tells his sweetheart
that he must depart to France and
they pledge themselves to love no other
until death.
The guests assemble in the castle for
the betrothal of Lord Arthur and Lucy.

Ashton, her brother, and his retainer
have intercepted all Edgar'S letters TO
Lucy and have concocted a forged let
ter in which Edgar renounces her.
Lucy is shown the letter and declares
that death will be her only refuge.
Ashton confesses his plight and in or
der to save him the world-old sacrifice
is made and she gives a tacit consent
to the marriage with Lord Arthur.
Edgar makes a dramatic entry at the
moment Lucy is signing the marriage
contract, tears the ring from her finger,
tramples upon it and defies them all.
Lucy swoons.
Tragedy stalks supreme in the last
act. Raymond, Lucy's tutor, called to
the bridal chamber by terrible cries,
has found Arthur lying dead, bathed
in blood, pierced by his own sword.
and Lucy. laughing madly, waving the
sword over her head. Lucy enters at
this point and then ensues the famous
mad-scene in which the hapless
maiden sings of her woes and calls
upon Edgar to come to her. Lucy
pleads for pity that one so young must
die. The second scene represents a
gloomy glade, with Edgar believing
Lucy to he happy in her falseness,
while death must be his portion. They
tell him the truth and Raymond in
forms him that the gentle soul has
passed away. Edgar, after despair
ing utterance, plunges dagger in his
breast and dies.

The commissioner also hopes to make
of the distribution of farm labor a
