Dr. Wadsworth writes, "The re

"Hades' Ladies" is a two act
fantasy concerning Elmer Smith
cis. a henpecked husband who
earns his living writing bedtime
stories for children. After a quar
rel one evening with his domineer
ing wife, Ivy, Elmer falls asleep
and dreams of the place Ivy said
he could co as far as she was
concerned . . . hell.
Elmer Awakes in Hades.
Elmer awakens in the reception
room of the palace of Satan on a
festive evening. It is the night of
the Infernal Jamboree, and many
of the Shades of Hades have gath
ered to hear the "singed" music.
It is also a night of political ma
neuvering on the part of some
hellish" politicians to overthrow
the throne of Satan.
Elmer meets Satan, the ruler of
the Nether World, and they be
come friends. Together they plan
to attend the Infernal Jamboree,
but the labor troubles that beset
Hades and the political crisis up
set their plans. Elmer becomes in
volved in the trouble, and before
long finds himself before the court
f the Inferno, charged with the
conspiracy to overthrow the
throne.
Elmer and Satan are the chief
characters in the amusing tale, but
two around whom much of the ac
tion figures are Flotsam and Jet
sam, a pair of gloomy spirits from
the "lonely realm of the Spirit
World." Thy are on a "haunting
trip," and are assigned to haunt
Elmer. It was their idea that
Elmer should go to Hades, and
throughout the play they make oc
casional appearances to guide the
action.

to make the mid-winter concert of

most colorful and pleasing to be
heard here in many seasons.
Overture "Sicilian Vespers."
As to the overture to "Sicilian
Vespers'" by Verdi, the overture of
the opera practically alone sur
vives. The opera was never a great
success due in part to the revolu
tionary nature of the libretto deal
ing with the massacre of the
French by the Sicilians.
While Dr. Christiansen's name
will forever be remembered be
cause of his conributions to choral
music, he has also added to the
symphonic band repertoire by writ
ing the "First Norwegian Rhap
sody," which is based on familiar
folk tunes. Equally enjoyable will
be Smetana's Dances from "The
Bartered Bride," from which opera
the band will play three of the
opera's Bohemian dances.
