THE RED MILL operetta written by Victor Herbert with a libretto by Henry Blossom is a jolly production by the Light Opera of New York (LOONY) at The Players Club, 15 Gramercy Park South at 20th St., this Thursday, May 20 at 8 p.m. In a village in Holland, two American Vaudevillians are stranded penniless in the little Red Mill inn. Trying to sneak out they are thrown into jail but the merry madcap adventure manages to deliver love and riches with disguises and all sorts of jolly good fun with singers Leslie Middlebrook and Lee Moore in the cast.
