Frolicsome 'T rial'
ribs legal system
By SARAH POLAREK
Exactly one hundred years ago the light operetta Trial by Jury;
pened at the Soho Theatre in London, marking the firstl
eal collaboration by what was to become the famous teaml
f Gilbert and Sullivan.'
Last weekend, the University of Michigan Law School present-
d this ridiculous travesty of a Victorian breach-of-promise
ase with all the vitality, humor and talent necessary to its
ccessful performance.1
The short (less than 40 minutes) operatic miniature concerns<
e court proceedings in a suit by Angelina, the jilted bride,
gainst Edwin, who has failed to marry her and is even then#
etrothed to another. The operetta begins as the gentlemen of
e jury, the court usher, and the hoard of Angelina's brides-1
aids pace anxiously, awaiting the judgment.
The music in Trial by Jury is continuous and there is no
poken dialogue - a device never to be repeated in later{
'ilbert and Sullivan pieces. Yet Sir Arthur's music is, as always,I
st right.t
Sullivan always seems to know when the words are most1
portant (this is most evident in the witty solo by the judge,
When I, Good Friends, Was Called to the Bar") or when
11 the penache of a contrapuntal chorus is needed, with lyrics#
erely complementary (as in the bridesmaids' salute to An-#
elina, "Where is the Plaintiff?").t
In contrast to Sululivan's light-hearted music, W. S. Gilbert's
_rics (in this case published as a libretto in the periodical Funt
efore set to music by Sullivan) were, for their time, wittily de-E
isive.
Gilbert later in his life told of meeting a judge who assured
im that he had liked all of his plays except Trial by Jury -
his the judge saw as an unwarranted attack on the British,
udicial system.
The Law School players delivered this satire on their own
hosen profession with poise and a great sense of enjoyment.
e judge, who is perhaps the pivotal character and who was
layed by Sullivan's brother Frederic in the original production,
as the best lines and is by far the most entertaining.
Bev Pooley's performance in this highly colorful role was
xcellent, and his solo was marked by a fine singing voice and
lear enunciation.
The rest of the cast was lively and both musically and thea-
rically talented; but perhaps Don Regan (Court Usher), Lenore
erber (Angelina) and John Reed (Edwin) should be singled
ut for their especially fine performances.
The high point of this operatic extravaganza occurs when the
udge, weary of all the hubbub and entranced with Angelina's
harm, scatters his papers over the court, descends from the
sench, and announces that he will marry the plaintiff himself.
'ooley performs this task with all the pomposity required, and
toth the court and its audience depart well pleased:
"All the legal furies seize you;
No proposal seems to please you;
I can't stop up here all day,
I must shortly go away.
Barristers, and you, attorneys
Set out on your homeward journeys;
Put your briefs upon the shelf,
I wil marry her myself!
