THE FLDWER OF VENEZIA On May 10 and ll, 1935, the High School Chorus presented aVenetian operetta in two acts en- titled The Flower 0f Venezia. The plot centered aroundthe efforts of the Doge of Venice and his wife, Paulina, to marry their dzfighter, Fioretta, to the Duke Di Bcmba, to whom tl e Doge owed money. Fioretta flouted the Duke's attentions and fell in love with a young naval com- mander, Victor. The other plain daughter, Lavinia, had asecret desire to be a duchess, the Duke desired to do away with Victor, and the Doge wished to clear all his debts, This all led to consultations with the family assassins about potions of one sort or another. During the banquet festivities in honor of the Duke, these potions were given to their respective Victims. Asaresult, the Duke fell in love with Lavinia, and the Doge was relieved of his financial difficulties, which left everything clear for Victor and Fioretta. The cast consisted of the following people: Phillip Edwards, Norma Kee. Anna Williams, Thelma Miller, Arabella Davis, Dorothy Creamer, Isaleen Sin- clair, Helen Mills, Geraldine Sinclair, Edward Figg, Theodore Chestnut, Jack Chadwick, Mildred Williams, Eleanor Peishoff, Maud Gibson, Elizabeth Boyce, Tom and john Collings, Mary Tobin, Roger Plummer, Melen Chestnut, Richard Tobin, Wilbur Lynch, Dorothy and Mildred Cordero.
