T HE LASS OF LIMERICK TOWN The Payson High School Chorus Classes presented The Lass if Limerick Town , a two act opera which was directed by Arvil W. Huff. Drama instructor was Arch Williams, and dance director was Miss Clara Johnson. The opera was written and composed by Arthur A. Penn. Due to a death-bed promise, Rose McCoy is supposed to marry Captain Worthington. Since Rose has never seen the Captain, and she feels that he is only after her money, she and Betty McCoy, her cousin, trade places. The Captain comes and falls in love with Betty, as the cousins hoped he would. When his parents arrive from England, they are very disturbed for they need money badly. The Captain still wants Betty, even when he finds she is poor. Then Ezra Q. Hicks comes from America and proves that Betty is the' elder of the two so the money belongs to her after all. In this way, Sir Charles an-d Lady Worthington are satisfied and everything turns out as planned. The principles were supported by a chorus of eighty voices. Everyone enjoyed the opera and the cast felt well paid for their extra work on an out- standing production. Q. hp.-- Molly, mine.
