The inside story pirafe5 ofpenzance pack flue youu The mood of the Pirates of Penzance is set by the rollicking tune sung by the Pirate King lWindy Landi. It is a gala day, for Frederick lEd Argersingeri has come of age. Ruth, his faithful nurse, Uoyce Hartwegi explains that a misunderstanding caused Frederick to become a pirate. Sixty girls, the daughters of General Stanley, arrive. The pirates attempt to kidnap the daughters. General Stanley informs them that he is an orphan, and the girls are freed, for the pirates have sworn never to harm an orphan. The General, not really an orphan at all, regrets his falsehood, forthe pirates swear to avenge it. For protection he employs Wallace Anderson as chief of police. Despite these happenings the ending is a happy one. lt was quite a different job working on a stage three times the size of the stage in the old auditorium. This gave the director an easier time working with the large cast of the operetta. I - 15, -- - -V ,- I5 Yo-ho-hal You can't do this. It's illegal!
