Leach, tenor; Margaret Jones, Vivian Ballard and Mary Badger. Carmen Rosell, who takes the title role, has achieved notable success in music circles. She was the finalist for the Dixie District of the Atwater Kent Audition held in New York four years ago and while there received praise from Tito Ruffo, well-known baritone in the Metropolitan Grand Opera. Two years ago, she gave a concert tour with Sidney Raynor, celebrated singer, in Cuba, while she was still a pupil at the New Orleans Conservatory of Music, now the Loyola College of Music, from which she graduated last June. She is now taking a post-graduate course there. Obtaining her early education in the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Vista Allegta, Cuba, Miss RoselJ developed her artistic sense under the Madames and gave much promise in the dramatic arts. Singing her first solo at the age of eight, she devoted her studies drawing and singing and came to New Orleans to finish her education. Here she attended the Academy of the Sacred Heart and, graduating from there, she entered the New Orleans Conservatory of Music and graduated in June, 1932. Miss Rosell is of Cuban parentage and is conversant with Spanish, French, Italian, German, and English. Her first music teacher was Mrs. Charles McMurray, wife of Charles McMurray, who takes the male lead in "Martha". A synopsis of the story of Martha follows: Lady Harriet is one of the court ladies attending upon Queen Anne of England. Nancy is Lady Harriet's own attendant and confidante. Sir Tristan, a cousin of Lady Harriet, is in love with her. When the story opens Lady Harriet is found languid and dull, wearying for some new form of amusement, tired of all her ad - Loyola To Meet Guatemala On Football Field Escuela Politecnica to Play Here Next Spring Central American "West Point" Arranges Grid Encounter FATHER DOONAN ACCEPTS CHALLENGE Guatemala Cadets to Stage Parade Before Game Next year the Escuela Politecnica of Guatmala will invade the United States for a football game with Loyola of the South, Fr. Doonan, Loyola's athletic director, accepting a challenge by Brig.-Gen. John A. Considine, director of the Central American "West Point." The squad will be the first Guatemalan team to invade this country. Though the Waf/D of th« ie and plans not final, the game will probably come as a culnilh&tioft (If next spring's practice, Father Doonan explained. For, the Guatemalans enjoy winter sports during the spring of this zone. They are now in the height of the "fall" football season. So, though not certain, the international grid clash will probably be a spring attraction. Before the game with Loyola, the Escuela Politecnica cadets will parade the streets of New Orleans, to the music of the Loyola University band, and their own bugle and drum corps. It will be the most colorful military pageant ever seen in New Orleans. The dress uniform of the Escuela Politecnica cadets is a veritable sunburst. Sky-blue, brilliant scarlet, trimmed with gold, topped by military visored caps of scarlet, blue, gold and white, with pompoms of blue and white, the national colors of Guatemala, make that corps of cadets on parade an unforgettable sight. And they drill and march with West Point precision.Between halves, out at Loyola stadium, a squad of the Escuela Politecnica's crack riders will stage the famous West Point "monkey drill," riding horses bareback, seated and standing on the horses, leaping to the ground at full gallop and leaping back on the horses again; riding horses barebacked, two abreast, on the gallop, one foot on the back of each horse. The Guatemala game should be a gala event at Loyola, and in New Orleans and the surrounding parts. Plans by local diplomats point to a day equal to the Central American "fiesta." Arrangements are under way at this early date and due notice of developments will be given.
