M.oo tUM I OLD NORMAN RET (By John Snider) The quaint old country of Nor mandy has been tram-planted to local settings in the form of an operetta to be presented by the local glee clubg on February 26 and 27, in the Medford high school auditorium, A truly magic touch has been ef fected in the art art work of the 'Chimes of Normandy." written by Planquette. The scenery, the cos tumes, the dances, and every thlu-t connected with tlie production are of par excellence. After four weeks of lengthy prepa ration, the scenery is nearing com pletion. Under the direction of Mrs. Alice English, and with the assistance of Leland Mentzer, and some twenty boys, the settings and back drop are something to be viewed with awe. Four scenes have been prepared for : the three acts. The first, on the , coast of Normany, la a colorful shore ' setting surrounded by trees, flowers '. and a huge chateau In the back-1 ground. It is a perfect landscape. ! The second, a fair scene. Is of a huge arch centered in a large rock wall. ! This arch is the gate through which 1 the working people march to be hired. ' much the same aa an auction block. ! Scene three promises to produce : shivers, for it is the interior of a supposedly haunted chateau. Dark ened throughout, this setting Is mys terious and gruesome. The final scene Is one of beauty. surrounded by flowers and trees. With the blending of colors Into va rious shades and combinations, a dif ferent effect has been produced. Another novel feature of the third act is the suit of armor, made by students. It Is constructed of news papers, starch and silver paint. This pleco of work Is well made and is ery realistic. A cast and chorus of 80 are fea tured In the production, with an or chestra of 15 members conducted by F. Wilson Wait. Alfalfa Bill Is Matte Enthusiast Says Miss Ivanhoe Governor William H.
