The Queen hangs it around Arline's neck. Later Florestein accuses Arline of stealing it. She is brought before the Count.

Broussard was named president of the French club to succeed Albert Dupuy, lately resigned because of studies. Broussard was elected at a meeting of the club held last Friday. Three changes in the cast of "Le Monde Ou L'On S'Ennui," French club production to be presented March 8, were announced by Mr. Hensley Lacey, faculty moderator. They are: Marie Therese Derbes for Louise deTaruo'vsky, who was forced to drop out of the cast because of studies: Cyril Broussard for Edward Seekera; and the addition of Robert Lacey. Play rehearsals begii dail] on Monday, it was announced. Meetings for the French club will be held weekly instead every other week as in the past, it was also decided. CIRCOLO NAME CAST FOR COMEDY Miss Josie Greco, Loyola night student and day student of Dominican college, will portray the only feminine part in the Italian play, "Chi sail gieco non l'insegni," to be presented by the Circolo, announced Professor Anthony Papale, faculty advisor of the society. The rest of the cast as announced by the moderator Includes Samuel S. McNeely, John Schilleci, Anthony Santangelo and John Vaccaro. The parts have not yet been assigned to the actors but practice is expected to begin next week. Mr. Papale was assisted in the selection of the cast by Dr. Alfred Bonomo. The play which is planned to be staged about the middle of April is a one-act comedy in the form of a proverb. The literal translation of the title is "He who knows the play will not tell it to others." The production of this comedy will mark the first time that an Italian play has been presented by a group of university students in Louisiana, Mr. Papale stated. A musical program by students of the college of music is planned in connection with the play. An English synopsis of the play will be included on the program for the benefit of those in the audience who do not understand Italian. Strange Doings in Opera; Child Plays Own Mother When little Arline is kidnapped in the first act of the annual opera, "The Bohemian Girl," the audience will be witnessing the beginning of another mother and daughter act. For Arline, the child, is played by the six-year-old Margaret Bailey, while Arline, in later years, is portrayed by Margaret's mother, Mrs. Olga Bailey. TiitD radio announcement of Margaret's participation in the opera hrought strenuous objections from the little lady because she was called "Marguerite." Her disike tor the name Margaret and preference for Margaret arises fr. m ihe fact that her god .nother told her that Marguerite was the name of a flower. In short, she doesn't want to be known as a flower. Mrs. Bailey, soprano lead of "The Bohemian Girl," began her operatic career while attending John McDonogh High school. Several public high schools of the city combined for the presentation of "The Little Tycoon" on which occasion Mrs. Bailey made her debut in opera work. Mrs. Bailey who spends much of her spare time knitting dresses says that she prefers light operas of li e typo of "Theßohemian Students More Attentive Than In '30-McGrath Calling retreat talks "more directive than corrective," the Rev. Thomas J. McGrath, for 3 years director of the Southern Jesuit Mission Band and for 12 years in the mission field, compared Tils retreat work with that on the missions. "A mission is what you might call a retreat on a large scale," Father McGrath asserted. "And while allowing as in all talks for audience appeal, retreat lectures are adapted mission talks." Father MtGrath, who conducted retreats at Loyola university in 1924 and in 1930 and who is retreatmaster for the 1935 student retreat, finds this year's student body the "best so far" and "by far more retentive."Father McGrath, who leaves New Orleans Tuesday to conduct a retreat at Springhill college on the 19th, asserted that he would be happy to come back to Loyola for a retreat sometime in the future. A retreat and mission trip that lasts until sometime in June will take Father McGrath, who is stationed regularly at St. John's college in Shreveport, to Springhill, Holy Name Academy at Tampa, a mission at Tampa; Victoria, Texas; El Paso; Abeliene, Texas; Witchita Falls; and Mansfield, Texas. NO FEE TO ENTER HANDBALL MATCH After much discussion and little action on the part of local handball players, it has been decided by the sports department of The Maroon to conduct the handball tourney without charging the twenty-five cent entrance fee per player. However, there will be no prizes awarded for the winners of the different divisions. Entries for singles will open today and will close on Thursday, February 21st at noon.

DDonnell, defending the negative of the proposition, "Resolved: That the United States should retain the ownership of and develop the principal sources of hydroelectric power in the United States," won a 2-0 decision over Harold Ainsworth and Robert Morrow in the first freshman elimination debate Monday night in Marquette auditorium. The decision of the audience on the merits of the question resulted in a 5-5 tie. Judges for this and all future freshman contests were James Sutherland, A. E. Papale, John Hritzu, Loyola faculty members. Six varsity home debates have already been tentatively schement by Stephen Rodi, president of duled, according to an announce- Edward Douglas White society.
