This comic opera in three acts was presented April zo, at the Masonic Temple. The libretto was written by Harry B. 7 9 Smith, and the music by Reginald de Koven. The main ch ar- acters were chosen from the Treble Clef Club and the Glee Club after a series of try-outs. At the beginning of the opera a merrymaking is in progress at the market place in Nottingham. The four outlaws, Little John QDavid DupeeD, Will Scarlet CHomer Oglel, Will Stutely CDarrell StephensD, and Friar Tuck QMilton Schimelpfenigl enter and sing of their free life in the Forest of Sherwood, and fm ally the handsome, dashing Robin Hood CRaymond GlosD appears, declaring that he is the Earl of Huntington and demanding that the Sheriff CStanley SchumacherD shall so proclaim him. The Sheriff, however, protests that the youth has been disinherited by his own father, who before the birth of Robin Hood was secretly married to a peasant girl, who died when her child was an infant. The child is Sir Guy of Guisborne CHomer jonesb, the rightful heir to the earldom and the Sheriff's ward, whom he is planning to marry to Lady Marian CHelen I-loweD, ward of the Crown. However, the young girl and Robin Hood are already deeply in love and exchange vows of eternal faith, much to the indignation of Sir Guy. Lady Marian protests against her marriage to Sir Guy, hoping that on the return of the King from the Crusades 'she will be released, while Robin Hood plans with the help of the King to prove his right to the earldom. The outlaws sympathize with the pair and invite Robin Hood to join them, promising him he shall be their king and rule them under the Greenwood Tree, to which proposal Robin Hood at length agrees. In the meantime, Allan-a-Dale QWayne Goembell, an outlaw, has fallen in love with Annabel QBarbara Wagnerb, one of the daughters of Dame Durden CMary FisherD, a widow whose husband has been gone for twelve years. Eleanor CEffie BruceD is another of Dame Durden's daughters. ln the last act the dashing king of the outlaws brings the message which saves Maid Marian from the hated marriage with Sir Guy. The opera ends amid general rejoicing at the triumph of Robin Hood and Maid Marian over the plotting Sheriff and his ward. C980
