National Council of
Catholic Men.

Plans for the first public presen-
tation to be given on an elaborate
scale by the Dramatic and Musical
Guild of the National Council of
Catholic Men has been made here
by President Erwin Cosgrove, who
has announced the production Of
Daniel z. Doran's new three-act ro-
mantle drama. Columbus" at Con-
zaga College Hall, on February Is,
Is, II and Is.
The production promises to be one
Of the dramatic events Of the season
circles, and will be the elimination
Of a program mapped out at the in
auguration of the guild. which aims
not only at producing the best for
the Catholic stage. but in presenting
distinctive productions of the guild
playwrights.
The play will be given for the
benefit of the District council fund
and to aid in carrying out a wide
range OF activities which has been
planned by the executive committee
under the direction OF Admiral Will
liam S. Benson. District president.
The motive. the genius of the
play, is sublime faith in God. II
shines forth in, the words and acts
Of Queen Isabella, whose dauntless
courage despite difficulties won q
new continent for the world. 1t is
exemplifed in the words and acts
OF Antonio de Marchane. the good
Franciscan monk, and in Diego de
Deza, the sanity bishop of Plscen-
cia. who FIRST gave their aid and
announcement to Columbus.
The climax Of the second act,
and IL is as thrilling as IL Is unex-
pected. made a decided impression
when the act was first produced at
Central High School Auditorium
last Columbus Day. and the first
and third acts. which will be given
their initial showing when the plsv
is produced in its entirety, have all
those elements of intrigue and faith
and laughter and tears that sur
rounded the court of the great
Queen Isabella in the year 14se.
There is romance in the play. the
delicate romance of Dolores de la
Corozon and Ricardo dePlats, deftly
interviewer into thecourt scenes and
furnishing a delightful picture Of
love in a land where love runs deep
in the veins of gallant men and
beautiful women.
The best Washington talent avail
able has been secured by the guild
for its first production. Queen Isa-
bella will be played by Miss Made
line O'Brien. a talented Trinity COL
lege student. The difficult role of
Dolores-one that calls for laughter
and love and tears has been given
to Miss Estelle Murray acclaimed
as one of the most talented young
Catholics on the Washington ANA
teur and semi-professional stage.
Miss Beatrice x. Cosgrove viii play
the part of the dueuna to Dolores
The Spanish dances promise TO be
among the most attractive features
of the production.
