Bcto gork dlub Bancc THE C]reater New York Club heLI its first dance of the year on Friday, November 22, in the Cascades Room of the Biltmore Hotel. More than two hundred couples danced to the music of Jules Lande, popular New York maestro. The affair was arranged so that those who made the trip from Washington for the N. Y.U football game on the following afternoon would be assured of another great week-entl Owing to the fact that most of the G.U. men were unable to leave Washington until late in the afternoon, dress was informal. The music stopped at 2 a.m., closing one of the year ' s finest pre-game dances. The Committee for the dance consisted of Chris Wilson, Chairman, and Jack Egan, Bob Gorra, John Rizzi, Joe Schanno, Lou Immer- man and Bill O ' Leary. Schanno, Gorra, Egan, Wilson. Immerman 104 ;

Mask and JSaubIc ' jf pNOER the able direction of Re -. ■ Leo G. Monaghan, S.J. and Re -. William J. Langman, S.J., the Mask and Barible has completed one of its most acti e seasons in many years. Moreoxer, this particular year has been unique in George- town ' s dramatic history, as witnessing the presentation of our first original musical comedy, Sasha Calls the Kremlin. The Mask and Bauble opened its lQ4b-47 season with the presentation of three one-act plays. Knockout was written especially for the occasion h Father Langman and was warmly receixed. Sharing the same bill were The Rising of the Moon by the Irish play- wright, Lady Gregory, and If Men Played Cards as Women Do by George Kaufman. Mr. Kaufman ' s comedy kept the audience in constant laughter. A tragic note was added on the evening of the final performance, how- e ' er, when one of the principals, a white mouse, met a sudden end when trampled upon by a member of the cast. .A period of frantic activity followed the closing of the one-act plays, since Sasha Calls the Kremlin was scheduled to open ten da s later. It was the period when mem- bers of the cast went around muttering their lines to themselves, when the directors strug- gled desperately to manage countless rehears- als, when costumes had to be fitted and sets constructed — in short, the helter-skelter period that is alternately deplored and enjoyed by all true followers of the stage. The libretto of Sasha was written by Mr. Philip Sharper, S.j., and Father Monaghan, while the music was composed h two gentlemen of George- town, Kevin Kennedy and William Rogers. The sets, entireK- new and completed in the amazingly short period of eight days, were designed and constructed by David Sherwood of the School of Foreign Serxice and Mr. FR. LEO G. MONAGHAN, S.J.
