CULTURE MADE ITS IMPRINT y' by , , ' I K It The Month of lanuary brought many things culturally to Ohio Northern. lt was a month of plays. Some of which Were House of Rimmon and Abie's Irish Rose. Also present on campus was the appearance of a traveling light opera troupe who presented The Old Maid and the Thief and Gianni Schicchi. House of Bimmon is based on happenings of the Old Testament of the Bible. ln the play there are scheming and conniving people just as today. As the play develops, right over- comes wrong and justice inevitably wins as the curtain goes down on act three. The music students of Northern and Bluffton College combined to sponsor the light operas The Old Maid and the Thief and Gianni Shicchin. The Old Maid and the Thief Was based around the old maid, Miss Todd, a bum, named Bob, and Miss Todd's maid Laetitia. The hobo comes to Miss Todd's home and stays. l-le falls in love with Laetitia and she runs away with Bolo after robbing Miss Todd. Gianni Shicci portrays what the relatives of a deceased person will do to gain more money for their own selfish interests. Shicchi, the third party in the scheme, Wills all the money to himself leaving the family almost penniless. 1 Page Twenty-five ,
