xi Y f - l 'f ' .. V g gi L THE CAST 'ZR Opera '4Martha N APRIL 16, Berkeley High presented the Opera Martha, It was the iirst real grand opera ever produced by the school, and all who came can testify to its success. The scene of the opera is laid in England. Lady Harriet, played by Frances Ringholrn, and her friend Nancy, Marjorie Swartsel, are discon- tented with court life. Sir Tristan, Paul Albert, is very much in love With Harriet, but she scornshim, and in an effort to escape his advances, she suggests that they disguise themselves and mingle with the peasants in the market place. While in this disguise they hire out as servant girls to some young farmers who turn out to be noblemen in disguise. Finally they are rescued by Sir Tristan from this situation. Lady Harriet soon finds that she has fallen in love with Lionel, Robert Gerdes, and Nancy likewise with Plunket, jack jacques, and so it all ends happily. The orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Ruddick, accompanied the singers. The production was directed by Miss Hartley, Miss Hannas, and Miss Wilson.
