well as joyous occasion at the col

"Such a Little Queen"

Because of the uprising in the
two countries, due to the proposed
union of the thrones by the marriage
of the Queen of Herzegovina and
the King of Bosnia, the two rulers
are exiled. The queen, in company
with her prime minister, Baron Cosa
ca, quickly boards ship leaving
Triese for America, and in short
time the king follows. While cross
ing the queen and Cosaca make a
fast friend of the young American,
Trainor, who after reaching New
York, proves of valuable assistance.
Reduced to extreme poverty the
queen with Trainor's aid, secures a
"job" with Lauman and Son, multi
millionaire firm, where the young
American has been long employed.
Arriving in America, the king also
finds work with the same firm, but
choosing rather to dance away his
nights, neglects his work, much to
the chagrin of the queen. Although
engaged since childhood their only
meeting has been one chaperoned by
a regiment of soldiers. In America
under different circumstances, the
inevitable happens. They love each
other. The queen, however, refuses
to marry his kingship until he prov e,
his kingship as well as throne. He
is recalled; she is not. The crucial
moment is where the king must
choose between his restored throne
and the woman he loves.
The cast includes the best talent
in the senior class. The play ha:
been ably coached by Miss Emma
Ody Pohl, and is one that viii raise
the standard of college dramatics
