Savoyards
Gather In Tryon
On May 15 and 16, Discovery
House of the Arts will present
Trial By Jury in the courthouse
in Columbus. A new group of
Savoyards will perform their
first Gilbert and Sullivan pro
duction! Just what is a Savo
yard?
As Gilbert & Sullivan grew
more and more popular in Vic
torian London, D'Oyly Carte's
plans for a larger theater were
realized when in 1881 he built
the Savoy Theater close to the
Savoy Chapel on the Thames
Embankment.
It was the most innovative
theater in its day, seating 1,292
people, with a stage large
enough to accommodate the
large choruses Gilbert and Sul
livan wan‘ed. For the first time
a public building was lighted by
electric lights, programs were
given free of charge, and the
interior decoration was elabor
ate. All classes of Londoners
flocked to the Savoy and left
singing the songs!
Carl 9 was more than a
theatrical innovator. He
invented the after-theater sup
per. In 1889 he built the luxuri
ous Savoy Hotel, next to the
theater, offering gourmet fare to
theater goers! The actors per
forming in Gilbert & Sullivan
operas soon became known as
the Savoyards.
Today Gilbert & Sullivan
buffs, as well as operetta com
panies performing their works
are known as Savoyards.
When Nancy and Charles
Dunn moved to Tryon, it soon
became apparent that these two
Savoyards needed to continue
their promotion of the witty
enjoyable musicals. They have
formed Gilbert & Sullivan
groups in several cities
throughout the U.S. with Nancy
directing the music and Charles
S8 a leading role. Their
, Brian Daubney from
Leicester, England has been the
,‘T clo I’. S ° 11 win be in May
when Discovery House of the
Arts presents Trial By Jury.

Randolph Street
Annexation Plans
Still In Question
Though the Landrum Town
Council Tuesday gave first
reading approval to annexing
the N. Randolph St. area, sec
ond reading approval is not
guaranteed.
"I'm not sure on the 75%,"
Mayor Robert Cogdell said. In
order for the town to annex, it
must have the signatures of
75% of the properly owners.
Mayor Cogdell suggested the
council approve the first read
ing of the annexation ordi
nance while the city determines
if the signatures represent 75%
of the residents. If they do not,
he suggested the council could
fail the measure on its second
reading. All signatures on the
petition have been checked, he
added.
The annexation request does
not take in any property along
Howard St., councilman Doug
Brannon pointed out.
In other Landrum Town busi
ness Tuesday:
* No action was taken on a
£ qu u es ? b y ,he S P ad er's Garden
