A H ffh wlffbf- Iii I 4 EXE V H. M. s. PINAFORE ,. The Music Departments of the Arkansas City High School and Junior College V presented the opera, H, M. S. Plnafore by Gilbert Sz Sullivan in the High School Q -I' 4 ,Q Auditorium, March 11 and 12. - sr' 1' - Her Majesty's Ship, Plnafore was written by W. S. Gilbert and composed by LQ ff 'Q Su' Arthur Sullivan. It was first presented May 28, 1878, at the 0pera.'.Comlque., and fy ran for seven hundred nights with an enthusiasm probably never beforeedualled. if This is probably the most popular o-f all Gilbert-Sullivan operas. It has met with ,lf wg enormous success not only at home but abroad. Its satire is keen but friendly: and Y .rj in music as in text, it is gay and amusing. . ' Among the most popular numbers are the recurring choruses We Sail the xC7l Ocean Blue and Our Saucy Ship'-s a Beauty, the song I Am Called Little Butter- f ,, X cup, Josephine's Sorry Her Lot Who Loves Too Well, Sir Joseph's I Am the Mon- ' . arch of the Sea and When I Was a Lad I Served a Term, the trio A British Tar is ' 5 a Soaring Soul, Corcoran's Song to the Moon, the duet between the captain and cj Little Buttercup Things Are Seldom What They Seem, Dick Deadeye's The Merry Maiden and the Tar, the octette Farewell My Own, and Buttercup's recountal A Many Years Ago. - Our performance involved more than a hundred students, which included the I i boys' and girls' glee clubs of both college and high school, and the class A orchestra. It was a decided success: excellent work was done on the part of the cast ln both singing and acting, and the choruses did equally as well giving the performance a , . professional atmosphere. 4 The orchestra was composed of students only. This really is remarkable, due ' milf to the difficult music associated with an opera of this caliber. The orchestra gave the V .41 Vi performance its necessary support in accompaniment. The dances, as everyo-ne says, -if were beautiful and most appropriate for the opera. Z .fi 113 ' The opera was directed and staged by Howard Feldmanri, director of music ,3 E3 in the Arkansas City Public Schools. He was most ably assisted by Mr. A. E. San 1 'li .1 A Romani, who taught the orchestra the accompanimentg Miss Edith Davis, who so 9 A . jr willingly and capably gave her services in the direction of the danceg Miss Phyllis Q 3 fl I Burt, who gave her time and effort in designing the costumes: and Mr. Carl Hol- 5 , 5, l man, assisted by Merle White, Forrest Plye, and Howard Pixley, who converted the I 5 'z stage into the deck of the H. M. S. Plnafore. The untiring efforts of the pianist. 5 I Dorothy Moore, was also, essential to its success. 5 I ' f . CAST or H M s PINAFORE ' . . 1 , I The Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B.
