This dramatic adaptation from 'The
Heart of Navarro" rendered last night by
the undergraduates Of Creighton university
for the benefit OF the students library
fund, was greeted with house larger than
usual at such entertainments. and all of
those who attended seemed well satisfied
with the production. which exhibited care
full study and attention.
The plot In the drama eenters around the
efforts of Etienne. Comte de Mar, son. Of the
duke Of st. Quentin. to recover son who
has been stolen in infancy. and in that the
main plot departs from the plot OF the
novel. In the hands Of the students the
story was developed with vigor and nicely.
The leading character in the play is
FellN brouGI the supposed son OF Ptcardy

1t was a character which, while at first Of
questionable strength. developed rapidly
the closer to nature for the development,
probably. D. ]. Hurley as Etienne and
James NJ Fitzgerald as Paul de Lorraine.

work Of the latter being particularly
strong, while the impersonation Of an
Italian goldsmith by Hurley, and his change
to the character of the Comte de Mar. was
as fine a bit Of acting as was ever seen
| upon an amateur stage. g..
With such large cast 1t was remarkable
that throughout the entire play there was
not one who missed cue OF forgot a line.
| The work Of Montgomery and also OF Mer-
ton was strong in the last act, where the
| fortunes OF the ''leagIe" reach the lowest
point and the league is on the eve Of dis
solution. The character Of Peyrot. as rem
dered by Joseph Sullivan. showed a ten
dency to approximate the character OF Iago.
but was none the worse for that.
The orchestral selections between the
acts were very pleasing feature OF the
evenings entertainment. Admirers of a
number Of the actors presented their
