Lowell Resuscitates Opera Tradition

Harvard will dust off another one of those pre-war events that made for the reputation of gracious living in the College community when the Lowell House Opera Society unveils its first production in seven years this evening.

The expensive section of the Bellboy dining hall will take on all the glitter of the diamond horseshoe for the performance of Handel's "Acis and Galatea." James Perrin '50 and Marguerite Willauer of the New England Conservatory of Music will sing the title roles of John Gay's libretto. Paul Tibbets '45, who has been something of a fixture in musical circles here since the pre-war era himself, will be Polyphemus while June Donald of the Longy School will sing Dalmon.

In honor of the occasion the University has thrown open the Hygiene Building parking lot for opera-goers. Dining Halls will allow women guests for the Wednesday and Thursday run.
