There is only one more week before the New Trier performance of the "Chimes of Normandy." The opera will be given two nights, Friday and Satur- day evenings, April 9 and 10, at the New Trier auditorium. As may be ex- pected, the entire cast is doing some mighty intensive work on the piece. They have spent several hours every day of their Easter-week vacation in rehearsing, under the coaching ot Mrs. Homer C. Cotton, Miss Elizabeth Stan- wood, and Mr. Griffin. With Mrs. Cot- ton keeping a critical eye on the mus- ical part of the production and Miss Stanwood and Mr. Griffin directing the dramatics, and the many little dances which occur throughout the opera, the public is assured of a very superior sort of entertainment when they wit- ness "The Chimes of Normandy." It seems to be about a fifty-fifty sort of a proposition as to just where most of the responsibility lies toward making the opera a success. To be sure, the soloists deserve high praise for the ex- cellent work they are doing, and for the fine quality of their musical and dra- matical efforts. At the same time, how- ever, an equal amount of praise is due the orchestra. With Mrs. Cotton's New Trier Symphony Orchestra, con- sisting of about 40 pieces, in the pit, giving the finest interpretation of the music throughout the opera, the chorus of about 60 boys and girls and the prin- cipals of the cast can do no less than present a hundred-percent perfect per- formance. Not a few of the laurels rest upon the head of Miss Winifred Mickey, Mrs. Cotton's assistant in the music department of New Trier. As pianist of the orchestra, and accompanist at each and every one of the rehearsals, Miss Mickey has shown her usual fine spirit and loyalty to the work. It is hard, indeed, to divide the ho- nors among the directors, when several of such high abilities are working on the same production. Everyone in the township has had ample proof of what splendid performances Mrs. Cotton and Miss Stanwood always turn out. Miss Stanwood and Jimmy Griffin of North- western, are collaborating in the dra- matical coaching of "The Chimes of Normandy" this year, and as in "Robin Hood." Mr. Griffin is directing all of the dances. The chorus, alone, provides several of the thrills of the opera. The harmony of 60 young voices singing the lovely bell chorus, or the rousing and inspir- ing chorus, "Silent Heroes," is enough to make anyone earnestly desire to wit- ness both performances. "The Chimes of Normandy" is the sort of operetta which provides plenty of fun as well as giving everyone the fine music that is most deeply appre. ciated, and the New Trier performance promises to be great in every particular. A CORRECTION Well, well, well, who ever heard of a village election coming on Monday? They do not, and that was a grievous error in the specimen ballot section of the advertisement for Dan Connolly's candidacy for marshal and collector, which appeared in WINNETKA TALK last week. Tuesday, April 6, is the date of the Village election, but every- body knows that, and Mr. Connolly says he thinks everybody also knows he is a candidate for the office of marshal and collector.
