The settings were in the Cossack camp at sunset where Princess Tatiolia was he- ing held captive and in the 'l'sar's pal- ace. Moscow. Tatiana., Princess of Russiid, was held for ransom by the Cossacks. Although she was helrl captive her triends were too cowardly to come to her rescue. Vwslar. chlet' of Cossacks, went to the Tsar's court to get the ransom and finding hllmself admiring: the Tsar, offers to help with his Cos:-:ack forces, fight the common enemy, the Tartars. The Tsrtars were defeated and the two victorious peoples pledged peace. Events showed that Vaslnr was the son of the Tsar, and since he was of royal birth, Tatiana. who had fallen ln love wih him, could marry him. The music, which proved very fitting, was arranged from Tsche'isowski. The thirty seven students that took part ln the performance did a wonderful job. The piece of work was under direction of Miss Arends.
