e ut an FlhilE at n- Vol. xxvi s il- Mundelein College, Chicago 40, Illinois, April 23, 1956 No. 11 Players Take You To Quality Street 3n May 6, 7 There is something about a little English country town during the line of the Napoleonic wars which ly James M. Barrie could satis- ictorily explain. He will tell it again on May 6 and 7 when the Laetare Play ers present his play Quality Street in the college audi torium. The scene is the lovely blue and rhite room of Miss Susan Throssel, Jternately played by Mary Ann .arroll and Mary Jo Valentino, and her younger sister Miss Phoebe, ilayed by Dolores Ferraro and Uary Ann Cashman. Phoebe is much in love with Mr. Valentine Brown, but, instead of iffcring marriage to her as she had raped, he enlists in the British army. J The sisters find it necessary to pen a small school for genteel ihildren and, of course, are looked ipon as old maids. J Their close friends, Miss Fanny, jlayed by Diane McDermott and Slarythomas Helgeson; Miss Wil- bughby, Loretta Lind and Ellen Schoen; and Miss Henrietta, Dol- sres De Paoli and Janice Haertel, lt;eep them company for the dura- lion of the war.

Musician Writes Book, Scientist Wins Honor Sister Mary Rosemarie, B.V.M., of the Music department, is the author of a new manual for singers, entitled Vocal High Fidelity. The result of experimental study and leaching, the method Sister ad vocates tor training singers utilizes natural vocal action to secure free, musical tone. It strives to avoid fixed positions and local efforts which tend to break the natural coordination of speech resulting m torced production and loss of tone quality. Sister presented a digest of the method in December at a meeting of the National Association of Teachers of Singing and was urged by members of the association to publish her method in book form, thus making it available to other voice teachers. Correctly practiced, Sister states, this method results in a freedom of vocal cord action that produces a tone of the normal voice range, easy and clear, whether high or low, loud or soft, truly vocal high fidelity.
