Have you ever picked up the phone In Harper Halt \%hen
the Une wa<i busy? Imagine that conVer^allim set to musir.
The result l*» a “definitely cute“ opera, ‘ The Teleph«*ne.“
There are no Halian barbers or Spaninh dames. The mon
ster that “cannot be choked or drowned” is not a fire.breath-
inf dracon but a telephone.
The hero, learninf that he must go auay. drcldes to pro-
p<ise to his sweetheart. JuMt ax he finds courage and the rixht
words, the phone ringi with some fosslpy girl friend on thr
other end of the line. The man and the telephone fiiht a eon-
stunt duel to win the Kirl’fl attentioHK. They battle with words
and bells. This combination of wit and xatire makes “The
Telephone*’ far different from the usual idea of opera.
The (irass KimiIm Company will present the modern opeia
in Howard ( liapel Thursday nifht. April 8. Jo \nn .Moore.
