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.
