CHONITA Chonito, a gypsy musical, given through the combined efforts of the A Cappella Choir and Dramatic Club, proved to be a great success. This was evident by the attendance, which excelled 1,000. The operetta was under the direction of Miss Dorothy Flitcroft and Mr. Ronald Gee. Mr. Kleyensteubcr directed the orchestra. The entertaining story of the gypsy lovers was presented November 4th and 5th in the State School Auditorium. Interior scenery and costumes were characteristic of the late Eighteenth Century in Hungary. Exterior scenes of a gypsy encampment, plus the chorus singing, played an important part in setting the mood for this musical based on themes by Franz Liszt- The Cast of Characters Barbara Horn Marilyn Munger .
