i Frontier. _ VOLUME XLVIII NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1928. NO. 43. O. H. S. GLEE CLUBS PRESENT OPERETTA “SYLVIA” Tuesday evening the O’Neill High r School Glee Clubs presented the oper x etta “Sylvia,” to a large and appre ciative audience. Amolia Merrel as Sylvia, the court lady, appeared in her usual charming manner, and her solos were especially beautiful. Ruth Scott, as Betty, the pretty little country maid, was equally charming. The duet rendered by these two, was one of the most beautiful selections of the even ing. Ralph Oppen as DeLacey, the court poet, and bethrothed to Sylvia, and Chas. Hancock, as William the farm er, and bethrothed to Betty, carried their parts in a very pleasing man ner. Hugh McLeod as Prince Tobby tum, a man of consequence, lived up to his title. Assisted by the court ladies. Arabella and Araminta, played by Grace Hancock and Phoebe Ab doueh, he tried to make trouble for Lady Sylvia and his plans were frus trated. The work of the choruses of farm lads and farmer’s daughters was especially pleasing and showed hard work on the part of the whole cast. Special mention should be made of the costumes. They added greatly to the beauty of the scenes and made the whole performance very effective. Miss Turner is to be complimented on the production, as it showed hard, sincere work and was a decided suc cess. MR. ANI) MRS. M. F. EVELAND CELEBRATE FIFTY-EIGHTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. M.
