“H. M. 8. Pinafore’? by the Abbots-
ford Operatic Society in the theatre on
Monday, May 4, Written by Gilbert
and Sullivan in the middle of the nino-
teenth century it has retained its great
popularity to the present day; the
Bright and tuneful music, witty di-
alogue and amusing situations making
an irresistible appeal to all, whether
musical or not.

The plot deals with the love of the
captain's, daughter, Josephine, for an
able seaman, Ralph Rackstraw, although
her hand has already been promised to
the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir
Joseph Porter whom she detests. Plans
for the elopement of the lovers are
completed, and one dark night, aided
by the ship’s crew, they are about to
leave the ship. In the meanwhile,
however, the captain has been warned
by Dick Deadeye, a cynical and grouchy
old salt, resulting in many amusing and
laughter-provoking situations.

The opera naturally calls for a wide
variety of appropriate costumes, some

tion that the local performers found a
considerable expense which necessitated
a slight increase of admission, But con-
fident the public will approve of their
effort to present the opera in its proper
