Secondly, having the photo of your great-grandfather must be of utmost sentimental value to you. And lastly I was struck by your photo taken by B. J. Falk as I just yesterday posted two photos taken by the same photographer on my site of the actress Edna Wallace Hopper - what a coincidence!

As soon as I saw your first pic, The Mikado came to mind, and by reading your post, I saw I was right. Now thanks to you, <br />on this rainy Monday morning, I'll be going to work with the 3 little maids song in my head. No, I won't sing aloud, 'cause the cops next door might arrest me for public nuisance, due to my obvious lack of talent, even if I've got the pipes for it.<br />;)~ <br />HUGZBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599702957095945938.post-42186717994916640492012-06-04T09:44:52.539+12:002012-06-04T09:44:52.539+12:00Great photos, Brett!

I hadn't thought of The Mikado in many years, but your post made me remember a production of that operetta that the ninth-graders staged when I was in seventh grade.

G&S seems to be ever popular with amateur groups.

We saw a wonderful production here in Lanzarote last autumn, by the Charles Court Opera company from UK.

While I was not one of the three little maids I was one of the girls in the chorus, where a "multitude of hair ornaments" is a required part of the uniform. ;) <br /><br />If I remember correctly I believe there are standard poses for G&S purist productions (D'Oyly Carte style) which would explain the similarity of the poses in the different images. <br /><br />The photo of your great-grandfather is totally awesome, BTW!Cynthia Shenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089125778529696076noreply@blogger.com
