Angelus Fifty-one THE STORY OF THE OPERETTA GNMVD ACT I The Duchess is giving a garden fete in honor of the King and Queen and hopes that the Prince will fall in love with one of her daughters. However, the Yellow Witch and Fairy God- mother wish him to marry Cinderella, and determine to foil the plans of the Duchess. The Yellow Witch entices the Duchess and her daughters to the witch's cottage on the Moor, and leaves Cinderella with Tom Thumb alone in the Castle. Tom Thumb plans to give a party during the absence of the Duchess, and goes to invite the guests. While he is away the Prince, who has been wandering about the town, knocks at the kitchen door to ask for a drink of water. He sees Cinderella and falls in love with her. After his departure Tom Thumb returns and is followed by the guests to the party. ACT II This act opens with the Fairy Godmother and her band of fairies dancing on the lawn. They leave before the arrival of the Duchess and her daughters. The Duchess, transported with joy at the success of her plans, is sure one of her daughters will be the prince's bride. The Prince is melancholy for he cannot forget Cinderella. Disguised as a strange lady, Cinderella comes to the ball and again meets the Prince who becomes more and more enraptured with her beauty and charm. The clock strikes the hour of twelve, and Cinderella flees leaving one of her slippers behind her. When the King offers a reward for news of the beautiful girl, the Fairy Godmother enters and tells who Cinderella really is. When escorted by fairies Cinderella returns to the ball, the Prince tries on the slipper and finds it a perfect tit. He claims Cinderella as his bride. The curtain falls as the King calls for a toast Long Live the Prince and his Bride, the lovely Cinderella.

Hergenroeder Brooke . .... James Gallagher Aunt March . . . Dorothy Schiegg, Maureen Ferguson Mr. March CFatherD . ..... J. Ferguson Professor Bhaer ............. Wm. Veith Little Women the world famous novel by Louise M. Alcott is a story of a mother's love for her children and their appreciation of it. The dramatization of this novel has proved popular this year with Pittsburgh's Catholic high schools, Eve of which have chosen it as their senior class play. Who among the audience at Annunciation could forget the wild romping tom-boy Jo, her teaching Amy to faint, her pranks with Laurie, her fight with Amy, her tenderness for her dying sister, Little Beth, her courtship with Professor Bhaer? Can't you still hear Aunt March croaking against the love of Meg and Brooks? Does not the bewilderment of Laurie over Amy's and Jo's love affairs provoke a smile? Marmee's good advice carries a lesson to all.
