A PLEASING entertainment
TWO PLAYLETS GIVEN AT
MCDOWELL HALL.
lie Alliance Francaise Entertained a
Large Number of Friends
Last Night at The
College.

The members of the local Alliance
Franchise entertained their friends
most delightfully."- last evening at INC
Dowell Hall. The programme consist
ed of an amusing little one.act COM
edy Les Femmes qui Pleurent' and
the 'Ballade du Desespere" by Henry
Murger. The cast of the former
was as follows:
Chambly-M. Goslet
Delphine, la femme-Mme. Marion.
Albert de Rieux-M. Clsachs.
Clotilde, la femme Nine. Randall.
Jean, garcon d'hotel-M Coster.
The plot of the comedy centers
around the embarrassmeats of bride
groom, Chambly. who, having lost
heavily at the gambling table during
his honeymoon, tries to get the money
to pay his debts from his wife. to
whom in the enthusiasm of devotion
he has entrusted the key to his cabi-
net. After seeing how easily the wife
of his friend Albert gets the diamonds
she wants by bursting into tears when
her husband refuses to crafty her,
Chambly tries the same trick on his
wife and gets laughed at for his pains.
Finally he fights a duel in behalf of
his friend and comes off victorious
His wife is so touched by his courage
that she returns the key and his
troubles are over.
Nine. Marion as Madame Chambly
repeated her success of a few weeks
ago. and delighted her friends with
her charming characterization of the
part. Besides her attractive person
ality, she is an unusually talened
actress. Mrs. Randall made most
winsome and beautiful bride, and de-
serves credit for her impersonation be-
cause she was practically the only
member of the cast not native of
France. Mr.. CUsa ,hs and Mr.. Coslet
acted with great Ii e and spirit and
won much we'll deserved applause.
Mr.. Ooster made the most of the minor
part of the garcon-his enunciation be-
ing particularly clear and distinct.
The play was well done throughout
and most enthusiastically received.
The second part of the performance
was totally different from the first
the "Ballade du Desespere" is the
dialogue of a despairing poet with
an unknown visitant outside his door.
The voice announces itself in turn as
Fame, Riches, Love, Power. To each
the poet refuses admittance, but when
the voice says 81 ann death" the poet
opens the door with welcome. The
part of the visitant was sung admir-
ably by Mr.. Cusachs with accompani-
ment of piano, cello and violin, while
Mr.. Coster filled well into the serious
role and acted with much power and
expression. This little dramatic bal
lade was the most effective part of
the program.
Before concluding credit should be
given to DIR. Fell for the time and care
he has given TO the preparation of the
two plays. The friends of the Alliance
Francaise are indebted to them for
an evening as delightful as it was
unique and extend TO them best wishes
for the future of the society.

left the court room just before the
court decided that the woman was
guilty and must stand committed un-
til her fine is paid. Judge Revell,
however, had him brought into the
room and then proceeded to tell him
exactly what he thought of such CON
duct.
Judge Revell told him that he should
be ashamed of his conduct, that higher
courts than the one i'm which he was
sitting had found men guilty of the
same crime of which the woman had
been convicted even though they we're
single. He said that he ought Co hide
his face from all decent persons and
that unless condition were changed he
might find himself at any time in the
position occupied by the woman.
Miller Thought when the court first
began TO talk that he was TO receive
