Abbey Players Describe Origin of Their Theatre The Little Theater was the scene of an intimate lecture given by F. J. Mc Cormick concerning the Abbey Theatre on the afternoon of Feb. 25. Mr. Mc Cormick, who is a member of the Abbey troupe who played in Chicago for the past few weeks, was accompanied by his wife, Eileen Crowe, the heroine of Kath leen ni Houlihan, and P. J. Carrolan, actor and stage manager. Mr. McCormick, who came to Munde lein through the courtesy of Emer Phibbs, alumnae editor of Quest, told about the establishment of the Abbey Theatre in which W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory were such important figures. In a simple narrative style he related its subsequent trials and successs, contrast ing the poetic contributions of W. B. Yeats, the fantastic plays of Lady Greg ory, and the natural realism of Padniic Colum and Sean O'Casey. He believes that the Irish drama is rooted in the deeply spiritual quality of the Irish people. The audience received an interesting sidelight on the reaction ary effectiveness of the Celtic plays when Mr. McCormick said, I believe that The Rising of the Moon, and, more especially, Kathleen ni Houlihan did more than any other force to free Ire land, for both plays voiced a beautiful picture of a national ideal not yet at tained. Freshman Debate Contest to Open Next Wednesday Urge Clubs to Enter Debate Teams in Upperclass Tournament Capitalizing upon the current interest in debating evident throughout the Col lege, the Debating club is sponsoring two intra-mural contests, one for the fresh men and one for upper-classmen of any division. All members of the freshman class who are interested in entering the con test, whether or not they have had any forensic experience, are requested to file their applications in room 305 on or be fore Tuesday noon. The freshman contestants will debate the distribution of wealth, and are at liberty to choose their own colleagues or to enter free lance. Experienced members of the club will be glad to as sist them in the preparation of material. Particulars about the inter-club tourna ment for upper-classmen will be announ ced later. Meanwhile, in one of the most exciting contests of the season, the Col lege team closed its heaviest season of intercollegiate debates on Friday eve ning, March 1. The excitement resulted from the fact :hat the team from St. Mary's college, Winona, Minnesota, through some mis understanding, arrived prepared to de bate the same side of the muntions ques tion that the Mundelein lt;lebate*s had, pre pared, and had, moreover, an essentially different wording of the munitions ques tion. As hostesses to a visiting team, Ruth Tangney and Margaret Geary volun teered to prepare a negative case for the new question, and presented it success fully on ten minutes' notice. Jane Spald- ing acted as chairman. Not as exciting but quite as interest ing was the debate with the University of Chicago, held in the Little Theatre on Feb. 27. Miss Tangney, Miss Spalding, and Miss Cleary upheld the negative of the munitions question, and Mary Agnes Tynan, president of the Debating club, acted as chairman. Internationalists Discuss Catholic Culture in Spain In a joint meeting with members of the International Relations club of Lo yola university, members of the Munde lein club presented a symposium on Spain in the fourth-floor study hall on March 6. The Reverend Eneas B. Goodwin, J.D., faculty moderator of the Mundelein group, presided at the meeting, and Agnes Gill, president of the Mundelein club, opened the discussion which cen tered around Spain's contributions to cul ture as illustrated in a great saint, a group of dramatists, and a famous sol dier. Frances Regan then spoke on St. Te resa of Avila, stressing the influence of the Carmelite nun upon the life of her time. Juanita Pesqueira spoke on the classical Spanish drama, and Alice Young gave a vivid account of the ad ventures of the glamorous prince, Don John of Austria. John Brozowski of Loyola concluded the symposium with some critical re marks on Spanish literature.
