Rip Van Winkle N the evenings of February 21st and 22nd, the Glee Club of Central High - presented to a packed house Robert Planquettc’s comic opera “Rip Van Winkle.” The production was voted the greatest ever produced in our auditorium. The scenery, specially painted by the Shubert. was the most realistic ever seen on our stage. Costumes were furnished by the Minneapolis Costume Company. They were very beautiful and fitted the time of the play to a nicety. The cast was the largest ever seen in any of the Glee Club’s productions, a total of twenty-three distinct characters. Our old reliable, faithful Sydney II. Morse coached the play and took the part the village good-for-nothing— Rip Van Winkle, the central character—throughout the play. The time of the play was just before the American Revolution. The place was the village of Sleepy Hollow, in the Catskill Mountains. French gold behind a plot to disrupt England’s power in the community was the cause of all the trouble which made the play. The village lawyer held a mortgage over Rip’s home. The lawyer, a villainous fellow, was impersonated very aptly by Fritz Dyste. Rip had found some old French money on his trips through the mountains, and with this money he paid off his mortgage. The lawyer accused Rip of traitorism. Captain Hugh Rowley, played by George Tupper, appeared on the scene, and laid chase to Rip with his small detail of troopers. Rip, however, escaped to the mountains. This ended the first act. The final scene of this act was a pantomime. Rip on a bridge at the back, the villagers in front of him, and across the stage the English soldiers with leveled pieces, making an attractive ending to the act. The second act takes place in the mountains. The demon crew, the ninepins, fatal goblet and all were nicely portrayed. The third and last act has to do with Rip’s return, his identification and ruination of Derrick Van Slows, the village lawyer.
