Pro-cathedraI of ST. Mary: The
management of the Hotel Radisson,
Minneapolis, have kindly donated the
use of their ballroom for a benefit re-
cital for the Pro-Cathedral Monday
evening, February Is. Miss Maude
Moore will read Jeanne Dare by Percy
Mackaye with incidental music from
Relationships opera maid of Or
leans" as a musical setting. This
opera has never been given in this
country and will prove quite novel
addition to the program. In Mr..
Mackaye's play the incidents in the
career of Jeanne Dare, which are COM
monty regarded as historical, are re-
produced with essential fidelity to
what is accepted as fact. From the
opening of the play at the village fes-
tival in Domremy to the fall of the
curtain, the story is told with insight,
feeling and dramatic skill. The first
Domremy, where she hears Voices.
She is told that she must take the
field to act as savior for the French
cause Act two shows the interior of
the castle of Charles VII. Here Jeanne
discovers the Dauphin, asks for SOL
diers and meets D'Alencon, a valiant
nobleman, who supplies the play with
what is called heart interest. Act
three takes place outside the walls of
Orleans during the attack on the
Tournelles. After a momentary re-
pulse the French Arms prevail under
the heroic leadership of the Maid of
God. The next two acts witness the
coronation of Charles at Reims and
Jeanne's prison at Rouen. Miss
Moore will be assisted by Marie Nc
Cormack, soprano, and Gustavus John
son, pianist, and the Pro-Cathedral
choir.
