The clever lines and plot of this ^elodrama are in themselves delight- As critics have said, the play “startling surprises,” and “witty dialogue and repartee” that is car- *'-ed to “perfection.” The dramatic ^ctioiij complicated hy the love and hatred that the colorful characters alt for each other, caught and held 'fa attention of the audience. Al- l^ough the action of the play is an ■^^izabethan commonplace and oc- in one city in a short period of it has variety and a wide of emotion. There are schem- conferences, a most villainous 'Mlain, a tragic chapel scene, love ?aaiies, iveddings, and dances. Thus *1 lias its appeal both to its audience actors. AT5IOSPHEKK , Tliig^ the first Shakespearean play df he given out-of-doors at Saint iT^y’s, was well selected. The side “fiek wall of the auditorium served s fitting backdrop for the street, '^'^Urtyard and chapel scenes. The J’'^t'door scene’s simple columns and i*'®llises, shrubs and flowers, and Cliches and the chapel scene’s white candles, and stain-glass \yin- helped create an appropriate .hakespearean setting.

Mr. Harding Hughes’ senior Bible classes attended a serv ice at the Jewish Synagogue on hri- day, April 30, accompanied by Wil liam C. Guess. Services were he d on the second floor of Rabbi Wolf Mann’s home. , , The service began at eight o clock when the Rabbi gave the girls prayer books and instructions on how to follow the service. The Jews still retain the characteristics and man ners of worship as written in the Old Testament. These characteris tics are: the service is entirely m Hebrew; men and women sit in different sections of the church; men are required to wear hats whereas women are not; women are only al lowed to join in the one hymn which rsuiig it the end of the service; and the prayer books are read from back to front. , Mr. Hughes had arranged with the Rabbi for the girls to ask ques tions about the Jewish religion and service at the end of the worsh P hour. The questions were about the symbolisms of the Ark, priests lobes, the Holy of Hohes, the s.g.t.fr cant furnishings in the church, and the ritual. -When asked why one of the seven candles on the central cam Sra was not lighted, , the Rabbi answered that it was in remem brance of the persecution ot tne Ss aud tvould be lighted •gam when the Jews were freed fiom tins H“lhe close of the questions the Rabbi extended a cordial invitatio to the girls to return.

Miss Ger aldine Spinks Cate, Saint Mary’s Glee Club presented its spring con cert Monday evening. May 10 in the auditorium, before the student body and a large group of visitors. The urogram ranged from Bach to Gershwin. Pattie Ross was soloist and Miss Ruth Holmes Scott, assist ed hy Miss Mary Ruth Haig, was accompanist. . , ,, The program opened with the gay lightness of an old English air from Shakespeare, “IVhither Runneth My Sweetheart,” arranged by BarUett. “God’s Blacksmith” by Loltan Rod- aly, a modern Hungarian composer, was very well performed. The high spot of the second group was Johan Franco’s “Hymn for the Air Corps” of which he made a soecial concert arrangement for Saint Mary’s Glee Club. The obli gato provided an effective back ground for the impressive melody which was sung with moving feeling and reverent restraint. “Moon-Marketing,, a modern, im pressionistic composition, and Ger shwin’s ever popular “Summer time” in the last group were sung with excellent phrasing and were en thusiastically received by the audi- 011C6* But Russell Broughton’s “Prayer for Saint Mary’s” followed hy Ded ication Hymn” was definitely the climax of the program.
