Martha and Lionel Wed In Opera Sponsored By University
Rapid progress is being made in preparing for the presentation of the opera “Martha” in the Miami Coliseum February 11.
The story by Flotow centers around Lady Harriet, maid of honor to Queen Anne. Bored by the elaborate court life, Lady Harriet is sitting by her window when a group of singing maid servants pass her on their way to the Richmond Fair. Acting on an impulse, she decides to join them, and persuades her waiting maid Nancy, and her cousin Sir Tristram, an old and ardent admirer, to go with her.
At the fair are two young farmers, foster brothers, Lionel and Plunkett, who take occasion to speak of Lionel’s father, and his leaving a ring with Plunkett, just before his death, to be given to the Queen, should Lionel ever get into trouble.
The girls appear at this time dressed as servant maids, with Lady Harriet as Martha. Despite Tristram's remonstrances they hire themselves to the two brothers.
At the farm house, Lionel and Plunkett try to put their new maids to work, but the girls refuse to take anything seriously and laugh at their attempts. Alone with Martha, Lionel discovers that he loves her and asks her to sing for him. She does so, choosing to sing the “Last Rose of Summer” which cleverly brings in the needed local color.
The farmers bid the girls good night and leave them. Martha and Nancy are wondering how to make a get-away when, they hear Sir msiram calling below their win-uow. With his aid they escape an dreturn home.
In Richmond forest the Queen with her attendants is hunting when Lionel and Plunkett stop at a tavern near the wToods. They order ale and Plunkett sings the spirited “Porter Song.” Lionel, heartbroken over his love, then sings "Like a Dream,” and, suddenly seeing Lady Harriet approaching, renews his lovemaking. Although she loves him, Martha repulses his advance, leaving him in worse plight than before. Nancy and Plunkett learn from the Queen tnat Lionel is the son of the banished Earl of Dorby. They bring the unhappy lovers together by enacting the Richmond Fair scene where they first met.

University Trio To Give Concert At Zeigen Home
Coach Art Webb sent forth nine men who knew their basketball and the result was one sweet victory for the home team over the Rollins Wildcats. The game was played before the largest crowd that ever assembled in the Patio Court of the University building. The Hurricane quintet did everything that the basketball category calls for, They pivoted, dribbled, passed and shot with unerring accuracy. Their short pass game completely baffled the Rollins defense and with the exception of two long shots the balance were made from under the backbenrd. Rollin’s offense couldn’t get started before either one of the Hurrican . guards intercepted the ball and started another offense attack which usually ended with a basket for the Miami team.
Sir Rodney Ashman, who by the way is just about as sweet a basketball player as they make ’em starred both on offense and defense. The lad from Wisconsin piled up some 22 points during the evening’s entertainment and that was just a little over half the regular playing time. Rod got the jump on most occasions and many of the signals worke^>4o perfection.
Bob Stanton showed a world of improvement over last year and from all indications he won’t be put back at guard this year. Bob was using his speed to good advantage in breaking for the basket and rung up five baskets in short order.
Cliff Courtney, who majors on all sports, was a big gun on defense and his feeding the ball to Ashman and Stanton made their many baskets possible.
And don’t think the two Hoosier guards didn't play one keen battle at their guard positions. McGuire and Franklin stuck with their men like postage stamps and wouldn’t give them a chance to shoot. The Rollins forwards gave up trying to work the ball close to the basket and started some long range shooting which usually fell “hort.
In addition to their fine defensive work they accounted for five baskets between them.
Catha. Bleier, Wignall and O’Brien also broke into the lineup and the combination continued to outwore the visitors who just i couldn’t cope with the Miami team.
