GIPSY SUITE CANTATA By Luigi Df.nza Fresenicd bv Girls’ Glee Club and Chorus Director Mary F. Scott Accompanist.- Kathleen Ci ark, Eleanor Cole Dancing directed by Marie Diehi. I he “Gipsy Suite ' Cantata will be remembered as one of the most eventful hap- penings in the musical performances of Tech. Its rare beauty in the presentation of songs and dances in the colorful costumes of the gipsies made the spectators thrill to the music given in such an unusual manner. In addition to the songs presented by the Girls ' Chorus and Glee Club, unique group dances were given to the accompaniment of tamborines and piano. Marie Diehl gave a solo dance to the popular melody of “Black Eves,” a Rus- sian Gipsy Folk Song. Soft lights enveloped the performers during the entire program, but the chang- ing of lights in “Romaika was unusually beautiful as they gleamed on the glistening jewels and ornaments which decorated the apparel. Wandering gipsies, tamborines, songs and softly gleaming lights — could anything be more fascinating?
