A brief synopsis of the story fol lows: Hie story takes place In a Ger man forest. Once upon a time a poor broom-maker and his wife lived in a little cottage In the Harz mountains with ' their children, Hansel and Gretel. As Act I opens we find the children at work while their mother and father are out selling the brooms. Work being tiresome, the children start to romp about the room. Their mother en ters weary and unhappy. She scolds the children and sends them Into the woods to gather strawberries. Later the father returns, and having hav-ing sold the brooms at a good profit, gaily unpacks a quantity of dainties. Missing the children he asks about them and is horror-stricken at the thought that they are alone in the woods after nightfall Act n. The children are roaming ing the woods, filling their baskets with strawberries. Heedless of di rection and time eventide finds them in the darkening forest, haunted as they believe by fairies and witches. The frightened children chil-dren cower together under a tree and repeat their usual prayer to Hie "fourteen angels." Act EI opens at daybreak. When the children awake, they notice for the first time a beautiful little louse made of dainties. This is the abode of a very wicked witch, who entraps small boys and girls and bakes them into gingerbread. Hansel and Gretel break off tasty morsels from the walls. The witch appears and casts a spell over the children, she stilts Hansel up in cage and feeds aim to make him Plump. She tries to entice Gretel to bend down in front of the oven, 8) that she can push her in and her, but Gretel pretends she 't understand. In the mean- tale Hansel manages to get out of cage unnoticed and as the witch herself crossly bends down to show Gretel how to do It the children toove her into the oven and shut e door.
