based ON the humdrum every day life of
thrifty peasant family. Marie Bruin is
is girl of meagre education. However.
spiritually she is sensitive TO all the best
in life and longs to escape from the
bonds which the church and her devoted
but Ingenious husband have thrown
about her and her family. Nevertheless,
Marie is unable to rise intellectually
above the situation. and finally, hearing
the call of The Land of Hearts Desire,
she is lured from the chains of her ct
vironment.
There is little to be said concerning
"The Tanning of the Shrew." A more
jolly comedy is not known. Shakespeare
has brought rollicking fun. jovial charac-
tiers and wellDigh farcical situations into
this play. The squabbling of Katherine
with her invincibe lover and husband,
Petruchio, tfers ample opportunity for
the risibilities of the most sober to get
into action. The famous Garrick-B
cutting has been used by Mr.. Siple.
Miss Ruth F. Green has designed the
setting for The Land of the Hearts De-
sire. Between the acts there will be
special violin and vocal music.
The performance will be given Friday
evening, Feb. 25th, in the johnson Opera

Plays to be Given By the Normal

The first public program presented by
the Delphian Society of the johnson
State Normal School, under the direction
OF Mr.. Walter b. Siple, includes two very
interesting plays. First. Yeats "The
Land Of Hearts Desire is one of a
group Of Irish plays which has attracted
notice and comment from the famous
Irish players. 1t is one of Yeats most
dramatic and human plays, preserving in
its intensity all of the poets glorious ro-
nance, mysticism and folklore. which
gives him prominent rank among modem
Irish writer's. Dealing, as it does, with
the vital conflict between religion and
poetic superstition among the highly
emotional peasants of southern Ireland,
there is still vivid plot or story interest
