FOR U of A OPERE1TA
‘ ;I
“Down in the Valley,” a short
folk opera, is being presented here
by the University of Alaska on
April 7 at the school auditorium
at 7:30. p.m.
It takes its name from the well
known America folksong with
which the chorus begins and ends
the action.
Other folksongs used are, “Lone
some Dove,” “There’s a Little Black
Train,” and “Hop Up My Ladies.”
The scene is southeastern rural
United States. The hero, Brack
Weaver, has been sentenced to die
on the gallows for the murder of
Thomas Bouche, the villain of the
story and Brack’s rival for the af
fections of the heroine, Jennie Par
sons. Brack breaks jail to spend
his last hours with Jennie. The
main part of the action is in the
form of a flash-back as the two re
member their first date and the
events leading to the murder, which
was accidentally committed in self
defense. Although it sounds tragic,
it is not a serious opera, but sheer
entertainment.
Tickets are on sale at Nome
Drug Store, Nome Hardware and
North Star. Mrs. Opal Baldwin
may be contacted for information
on tickets. Rev. John Maakestad
