WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1924 "ROBIN HOOD" WAS WELL DONE New Trier Artiata Score Genuine Triumph \Vhen "Robin Hood" was presented by the Music department of New Trier High school Friday and Saturday evenings, the prolonged applause and appreciative comment of the audience gave the strongest indication of the ORera's success. \Veeks-months of unselfish hard work on the part of the director and her assistants, the principals, the Glee clubs and the New Trier Symphony orchestra found its culmination in a production unequaled by either of the light operas previously given by the Music department, "Pinafore" and "The Mikado." "Robin Hood .. certainly gave the community a new right to belief and pride in New Trier. The manager for two of the Chicago Civic Opera company's principal artists, referring to "Robin Hood," said, "That's a very pretentious thing for a high school to put on; especially as well as you have done." · Brownell Wio· Plaudit· Undoubtedly, the outstanding person in the cast of the opera was Kurtiss Brownell, as the Sheriff of Nottingham. His acting was convincing; its maturity caused many to believe him a professional. His singing nearly matched his acting. Prillc:ipal· Well-ChoMn A good tenor voice and a handsome person wett adapted Ridgaway Daggy to the role of Robin Hood, gallant, carefree and dashing. Agnes Biesemeier, as Lady Marian, took her part with the dignity, spirit, loveliness and loyalty becoming a Lady. The part of Allan a Dale, taken by Virginia Graham, needed the richness of her voice and a small but intense personality to interpret it. George Massey provided a realistically animated characterizat ion of merry Friar Tuck, drawing many a laugh from the audience, The role of gentle, sweet .Annabel was well interpreted by Eleanor Calhoun, whose voice carried out the interpretation to its fuJlest truth. Wallace Meuhlberg acted and sang a difficult role, Sir Gur of Cisborne. His burlesquing im1tation of the Sheriff, his dullness of wit, his ~ed of the Sheriff'L.mO..!jll S!!.I?!2-0rt and his fear and trembling in the presence of Robin Hood were all well done. Another difficult part, that of the shrewish Dame Durden, was realistically taken by Lois Bailey. Robert Atwood's voice and action were adapted well to the hardiness of Little John. The loyalty and resourcefulness of Will Scarlett were portrayed by Hardin Van Deursen, whose voice forcefully conveyed Will's personality to the audience. Acton Ha.e Good Support The chorus parts, sung by the Boys' and Girls' Glee dubs, and the accompaniment of the orchestra provided a background for the songs of the principals.

"Music settings to films have progressed just as fast as motion ·picture production and I might say, a great part of the success of the finer photoplays has been due to the musicianship with which colorful settings have been prepared at the picture theaters. "To most persons who attend a motion picture entertainment, the music is merely an accompaniment," Mr. de Mille pointed out.
