"The coming year has been designated Women's year by the United Nations in order to mark an era of partnership of men and women in decision making connected with in­ ternational affairs," Maureen Rogman, N.O.W. chairperson explained. Lucia Perrigo and Howdee Meyers will present their ex­ citing travel-theater production "Legend of a Lost, . Crown ' , in the Woodstock Opera House Thursday, Jan. 16, at TO a.m. Their program" is third in the Woodstock Fine Arts association's Creative Living Series. The Meyers are superb storytellers vyith camera. They combine travelogue with history, fi lming dramatizations in their actual historical locations. "Legend of a Lost Crown," was filmed in five countries, Mexico, Italy, Austria, Belgium, and France. , The story concerns Maximilian and Carlotta, the royal couple who traveled to Mexico to claim a crown that wasn't there. McHenry County N O W. members recently elected officers to head the two-year old organization in 1975. They are Maureen Rogman, chairperson; Leila Fyfe, treasurer; Cindy Morimoto, secretary. Task force members have also been elected to work in such areas as legislation, education and membership. The organization has pur­ chased a series of three books entit led "Notable American Women," which it will donate to l ibraries in McHenry county. The series details biographies of successful but l i t t le known women spanning the past three centuries. Scenes in Vienna recall the romantic Austrian Capital of mid-Nineteenth century and the palace of the Hapsburgs. The action moves from Vienna to Brussels where the young Prince Maximilian was wed to Carlotta, daughter of the King of the Belgians. The camera moves to Villa D'Este at Lake Como in Italy where they honeymooned. The action then travels to the shores of the Adriatic where Maximilian built a marble palace. It was this ' magnificence Maximilian and Carlotta abandoned to claim the crown of Mexico in 1864. The Mexican years are played against the scenic splendors of Vera Cruz, Orizabo, Pueblo, Mexico Queretaro, and Cuernevads The dramatic climax occurs on' the Hill of the Bells in Queretaro where Maximilian was executed. The final scenes depict the last tragic years of Carlotta. She died in 1927, the last empress. ^ Area residents who recall the Meyers ' production, "The Magnificent World of the Mountain King," will not want to miss this current production. Tickets are available at the Opera House box office on the mornng of the performance. Coffee will be served in the Green room before the 'program.
