Scope and content
On May 25-26, 1939, Lincoln High School's music department presented the Gilbert and Sullivan comic one act opera "Trial by Jury." The focus of the plot line of this witty satire on the legal system is a breach of promise suit brought by a jilted bride against a bridegroom who loves another. The judge settles the case by announcing his intention to marry the bride himself. The opera's featured performers were Robert Stabbert (playing the usher), Willard Norman (defendant), Wilton Ramage (judge), Helen Breummer (plaintiff), Leonard Tessier (counsel for the defense) and Tom Galloway (foreman of the jury.) Also pictured is the chorus of bridesmaids and the jury. (T. Times 5/19/1939, pg. 3)
