G. W. OPERETTA IS
TASTEFULLY STAGED
But an Ancient Plot Is Serious
Drawback to Group Of
YoupU plavers
Young Players.

The Troubadours Of George Wash
ington University last night opened a
three day run of Bride of the Incas," "
the current edition of their annual
musical comedy, in the auditorium Of
Roosevelt High School.
The production is lavishly and
, tastefully staged. The settings, de-
signed by Katherine Cutler and w.
Cyril Flannery, are the most effective
ingredient in the entire operetta.
Their simplicity of line and completely
attractive composition provide real
treat for the eyes. The costumes Of
the participants also are colorfully
pleasing.
Being q musical comedy, Bride OF
the IncaS" has music, but it hasn't
anything to account for the other
half Of the classification. 1t has also
q plot-a plot that was taken from
the dustiest back volume in the files.
1t is about that girl who gets abducted
by the nasty Incas and is saved from
being the sacrifice to the sun-god by
. Frank Merriwell hero who gallops
on the scene just as the knife point is
about to reach home. There are
lot of other peaple, too-Americans,
Peruvians and Incas-who mostly
sing the songs of the piece and oc-
casionally move the plot along an
other step.
The singing Is most effective when
done by the entire group. composed
principally of the mems and women's
glee clubs of the university. Marion
Folsom displays in her solo numbers
a lyrical voice which lacks nothing
but volume. Richard Hill, playing op-
posite her, does his singing roles in
a satisfactory manner. Amanda Chit
tum. Louise Erik, Randolph Hughes.
Fred Stevenson, Austin Gattis and
Edward Stevlingson are others who
have leading roles.
Other features of the show are the
dancing chorus. directed by Helen
Bealke. doing several routines with
precision. and speciality dance num-
bers done by Ruth Critchfield and by
Miss Bealke and Mr.. StevlingsOn.
Piano accompaniment is furnished by
Eleanor Hubert and Rudolph Moeller.
The operetta will be repeated tonight
and tomorrow night at Roosevelt High
School. H. M.

citation took place last evening

Parker. Mrs. Hugo Hessel-
bach, president, opened the business
meeting. Miriam Hilton outlined the
general plans of the April and May

fund has been already subscribed and
the extension of the time limit of the
drive was decided upon in order to
permit all the returns to be received.
The musical program which fol-
lowed was designed in memory of
Ernest Lent. so long and constructive
ly allied with the musical life of
Washington. The artists were Sylvia
Lent, violinist, who was accompanied
by La Sale Spier; Alice Finckel,
pianist, and John Alden Finckel,
cellist.
Mrs. Hesselbach gave a short sum-
mary Of Mr.. Lent's musical career in
which he gained recognition as cellist
and composer. Several of her per-
sonal "reminiscences of Mr.. Lent add
ed an interesting touch to her address.
Mrs. Hesselbach suggested that the
first part Of the program be dedi-
Gated to Mrs. Lent, well-known pian-
iSt and teacher, who so actively as
sisted Mr.. Lent in building up the
musical circles of Washington and
who abandoned her own successful
career to devote herself to that Of
her daughter, Sylvia.
Miss Lent opened the program with
Vitali's "Chaconne," followed by two
short pieces, Album Blaetter," by
her father, and the Introduction
and Rondo Capriccioso." by Saint
Saens. For the second part she
played Ernest Lent's Trio, Op. l."
which was written in his early days
in Leipzig. Alice Finckel was at the
piano and John Alden Finckel had
the cello part.
A lovely tone, pure and unfair
