One of the 'finest be put on in Exeter hy local talent was Exeter Opera House ening of last week when the choir of the James St, United church pre­ sented the Operetta entitled Gipsy Queen” or The members w( borate costumes, and the lighting materially to the success of the^pres- entation. The opening scene was in the palace of the King with the’ Queen -and Courtiers gowned in the court or colonial costumes, while the seond scene was in a rude hut. A King had married for love a young gipsy girl, whq, finding herself sur­ rounded with grand1 ladies, who scorn her because of her lowly birth, wearies of the routine -of the Court, and longs for the freshness and free­ dom of her former life. The King, occupied with sports of -Springfield, Ont. and Mrs. Caro- and pleasures, leaves her much alone and during one of his absences, the Queen, to amuse herself, dismisses her courtiers, and calls in her gip-sy friends, feasting them and giving them presents. In ...e midst of tne fun the King, informed by his Courtiers, returns, and is very angry. He ex­ presses his resolve never to see the Queen again, but tells her she may take with her, when she leaves the Court, the treasure she prizes most. The Queen begs that they may have, one last feast together, and aided by a faithful servant, she drugs the King, and has him convey­ ed out of the palace. When he comes to he finds himself alone with the Queen in a hut, and in his expressing astonishment, she reminds him of his promise—that' she could take with her the treasure she prized the most. The King, pleased with her ready wit, forgives her foolish esca­ pade; and the courtiers, proud of her devotion to their sovereign, unite in promises to make her life more pleasant in the l’utitre. The solo parts were taken by four special characters: "The King” Mr, Sam. Rennie; "The. Queen” Miss Pearl "Wood; "Como” (Kiug’s atten­ dant) Mr. Clarence Down, "Dana”. (Queen’s attendant) M'iss Reta Rowe The choruses wer? taken by groups of courtiers and gipsies. The -chor­ uses‘and solo parts were well rendeiv ed showing that' considerable time and effort had been spent in their preparation, while the gipsy drill received considerable applause. Much credit is due the director, Mr. W. R. Goulding, A.T.CjM. At the close of rhe evening’s en­ tertainment the choir were enter­ tained to a lunch furnished by mem­ bers of the Women's Association of James Bt. church. The choir tended a hearty vote of thanks their hosts.
