March ·29. 1929 WILMI!TTE . LIFE Ruth Johnston, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard C. Johnston, 321 Melrose avenue, is returping to Kenilworth April 1, from abroad, where she has spe~t the winter with Mr. and ¥rs. Frederick E. Clerk and family. Mr. Clerk is principal of the New Trier High school and was given a year of absence to spend abroad to study conditions in Europe. Mrs. Johnston has gone east to meet her daughter. Gaylor Harvey, tson of Mr. and· Mrs. Schuyler Harvey, 214 Ninth street, returned this week from Illinois Military school, Abbington, Ill., to spend his vacation with his parents. I ~ -oFriday and Saturday evenings, March avenue. Wilmette at Hartford, Conn., M iss Elda Sexton of Gaylord, Mich., 22 and 23, the pupils of the North Shore Sunday, March 24. Mr. Hall was an ofwho is a student at University of MichiCountry Day '5chool, Winnetka, gave ficial of the Hartford Insurance comgan, is the guest of her aunt, Mrs. as their annual Gilbert and Sullivan pany, and was well known here. He left Fr ank V. Widger, during the spring operetta, "Ruddigore," at the auditor- Wilmette several years ago. Burial vacation. took place at Rosehill cemetery. ium of the school. The production was well received by large audiences on both evenings. "Ruddigore," one of the less wellknown of the Gilbert and Sullivan · EvaiUiton Shop Open Tuesday,· Thursday and Saturday Evenings · operettas, is a satire upon the extravagances of the Italian opera, especially ~-·.:::.. ~-uu those of "Lucia di Lammermore." The plot relates the ·.;tory of the Bad Barons of Ruddigore, and how in the li'fetime of the ninth baron the curse upon the line was removed and the ghosts of his ancestors absolved of their sins and restored to mortal life. Although some of the best of GilSTATE and JACKSON-Chicago ORRINGTON and CHlJRCH-Ettanston bert".; lyrics are written into this work, it never attained to very great popularity, by reason perhaps of its lengthy and slow moving first act. In as much as no tradition for the production of the work exists, the producing staff at the Country Day school were left very much to their own devices. They succeeded in turning out a sprightly and colorful pre·3entation which attained to the standards of their previous work. The production was given as a project of the Music, Shop, and Art de_ partments of the school. The entire cast of seventy, including two sets of leads, wa·3 chosen from the student body of the school, and coached by members of the faculty. The scenery was designed in Art. classes and con. structed !>y the Shop classes. The lighting effect'3 and the management of the scenery upon the stage were handled by a class in stage technique. The costumes, of the period of the first Empire, were executed by a committee of par- · ents. The · orchestra, alone, was of foreign composition. Aside from the individual performance-3 of several of the leads the setting · of the second act appeared to elicit the most approval of the audiences. In, · this scene the ghosts of the eight deceased Barons of Ruddigore step out of the musty canvasses of their portrait3. In the rolorful habiliments of remote periods of time they stalk the gloomy hall of their family, chant thetr tribal song, and haunt the living incumbent of their title. R. E.
