GABRIEL PULLIN, Soprano MISS MAYSIE FOSTER, Contralto MRS. ADELBERT VAN BRAKLE, Accompanist Argument of King Rene's Daughter Iolanthe, daughter of King Rene, Count of Province, has been betrothed in infancy to the son of the Count of Vaudemont. Stricken with blindness when but a year old, she has been reared with all knowledge of the faculty of sight withheld from her. A leech or magician has promised to restore her sight, by means of an amulet he has given her, on condition that she is first informed of the missing sense; but the king has refused permission. Iolanthe's betrothed, wandering as a troubadour, lights upon her abode in the valley of Vaucluse. Without knowing her, for a territorial feud has kept their lives apart, the troubadour knight is enthralled by her beauty. He does not know that she is blind, and his words reveal to her the faculty of which she has been kept in ignorance; he thus unwittingly aids the magician's art, and Iolanthe is restored to sight.
