Lavinia Cole and Anne Marie O'Rourke, (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1) French Students Present Moliere With Marionettes Les D'Arciennes Will Pull Strings at Dec. 4, 5 Production Catholic Writer Claims Americans Do Not Read; Urges Literary Revival Shoic Mundelein Life In Dec. 10 Broadcast Life at Mundelein College will be introduced to Chicago high school stu dents in a WCFL radio broadcast on Sunday. Dec. 10, at 1:15 p. m. The pro gram will be one of a series sponsored by the Board of Education and the Occupational Research Bureau. The script centers about the day of a Mundelein college student, the classes she attends, the Faculty members with whom she talks, and the extra-curricul- ars that fill her spare time. Miss Louise Litten will act as nar rator, and Marjorie Thomas will play the student. Dr. Miriam L. Rooney, Miss Florence Krumlauf, Dr. M. Schme ing, Mary Celeste Shannon, and Patricia O'Toole are included in the cast. Mabel Holmberg will read an orig inal poem; the Glee club will sing, and the Speech Choir will perform. A pixie character with a philosopher's mind is Theodore Maynard, India-born, Britain-educated, and now an American citizen. Before his recent lecture in the Charles Carroll Forum series, Dr. Maynard, in timate of the Chesterton-Belloc coterie, granted a brief interview to the Sky scraper reporter. Having been introduced by Dr. George M. Schmeing of the college chemistry department, Dr. Maynard sank comfort ably into a huge overstuffed divan and began talking immediately. American Catholics do not read enough, he stated, therefore they do not write enough. In commenting on the abundant ma terial available for qualified American writers, he mentioned college periodicals and newspapers as valuable proving grounds for future literary endeavor. The Catholic college writer has an actual responsibility toward her work and her religion lo produce authentic, timely material with a background of Catholic philosophy, he continued. To this end must the effort be direct- By Betty Vestal In his lecture, My Literary World, Dr. Maynard spoke of his association with such well-known contemporary literary figures as the Chesterton brothers, Hil- airc Belloc, Alice and Wilfred Meynell, Agnes Tobin, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert Frost, Edgar Arlington Robinson, and Vachel Lindsay. Responding to requests from the audi ence, the writer outlined briefly his aims in the publication of his recent book, Apostle of Charity, a biography of St. Vincent de Paul. The conception of a saint of modern time and his relation to prevailing ideas of social reform is the central thesis of the volume, according to the writer. Dr. Maynard, in a delightful broadcast over WAAF during his visit here, read selections from his own poetry. I didn't say anything worth while, he confided modestly. All I did was read my own poems and comment on them. Really, it was monotonous. You know, he remarked. I like your College. It's new, but, for an insti tution so young, its atmosphere is one of age-old tradition, partly, of course, be cause of its Catholic background, but ed and the result will be a national Cath- j more, I think, he paused, because you've olic literature. built your own tradition. Intrigue with a high degree of comedy will be seen and heard in the Freshman Lounge on Dec. 4 and 5, when members of Les D'Arciennes present their annual marionette show, Le Mf.bf.cix Malcrf. Lui, by the seventeenth century dramatist, Moliere. The story concerns a poor woodcut ter, whose angry wife involves him in a attempt to restore the speech of a beau tiful young girl, who has been suddenly stricken mute. The role of the pseudo-doctor will be played by Marjorie Nora, and that of his wife will be taken by Betty Shana- han. The charming mute and her father ill he portrayed by Adele Ross and Isa bel Molloy. Vernette McGinty and Joan Morris will be heard as the two servants who force the woodcutter to become a doctor, and Helen Simianowski will be the fiance, who plays an important part in the cure of Lucinde. Only the voices of the actors will be heard, of course, since the marionettes themselves are the players. Doris Ruddy will interpret the play with occasional English remarks, so that those in the audience who do not know the French language will be enabled to understand the plot. Committees for the marionette show include Rosalyn Miller, who is in charge of tickets; Kay Rheiner and Virginia Coffey, who arc handling publicity, and Rita Valenzano, who is designing the settings and acting as stage manager. Colette Bergeron is in charge of the ushers; Myma Lamont of sound effects; Mildred Mahoney of the marionettes' wardrobe; and Virginia Arado of proper ties. Florence McDonnell is in charge of the costume design group, which includes Mary Veeneman, Mary Cole, Margaret Duane, Margaret Tibbals, Virginia Cof fey, and Dorothy Scholzen.
