міл аа TR I LOYOLA Page 11 COLLEGE REVIEW The two men were middle-aged peasants, poorly clad, tired and bent with labour. The woman was old, but with the age that is brought about by grief and hardship rather than the passing of many years. She sat on the ground, as near to the gibbet as the soldier would permit, and beneath the ragged cowl of her gown she wept softly for her dead son. The stranger breasted the top of the hill, and approaching, paused. One of the brothers spoke. He was her only son,” he said with a slow look at the body of Caius. “He saw how the people suffered, and his heart warmed to them, and he defied Caesar.” “Tell ше”, said the stranger, and his voice was very low. The mother of Caius lifted her head. “He was but a lad of twenty , she said. “There was по evil in him; only a great love for those who suffered. He could not bear injustice, and he incited the villagers to disobey the law. So they took him and condemned him to death”. Her voice broke. “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted””, said the stranger very softly, as though he were searching deep within him for some past event. But the mother of Caius shook her head. ‘‘My son has died this day and I am alone. He wished no man evil, but they persecuted him and his people, and because he loved justice they killed him”. Again the stranger spoke softly. “Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice sake, for their's is the Kingdom of Heaven”. The mother of Caius looked strangely and half-fearfully at the speaker. — are beautiful words’’, she said, “І have not heard them before. Who spoke them “One who loved righteousness as your son 414”, was the answer. “Tell ше”, said she, with a new softness in her voice, ‘‘tell me the name of this man”. His name is Jesus’’, was the reply. And what is yours'', asked the mother curiously. An instant change seemed to come over the stranger and he answered in a voice that trembled. “They call me Judas’’, said he, and strode quickly away, fumbling with the halter.

LOYOLA COLLEGE Page 12 REVIEW rAamattes Ir IS definitely a pleasure this year to chronicle the. season’s activities of the Loyola Dramatic Society. The year has been one of accomplishment, and we believe we can say without giving umbrage to Loyola Thespians of former years that new heights were reached and new — set for the years lying before the society. Many who have witnessed every major production of the college for the past fifteen years were of the opinion that YELLOW JACK was Loyola's signal dramatic achievement. Dramatic activities began with the wane of the football season, when re- hearsals were initiated on a two-act operetta, “Тһе Vagabonds” of Arthur Penn. Under excellent direction, chorus and soloists made rapid progress, and many of the entertaining lyrics and catchy airs were ready before the Christmas recess. In consequence, it was determined that the society should celebrate “А Night Before Christmas on December 19th, the programme consisting of a number of selections from ‘‘The Vagabonds’’, a group of Christmas carols'sung in parts by t he boys of the Junior High School, and a one-act play by Father Daniel Lord, S.J., “Mistress Castlemaine's Christmas Dinner . The songs and carols were well received, the offerings of the tiny waits in white and scarlet costumes being specially applauded by a well-filled theatre. ‘‘Mistress Castlemaine's Christmas Dinner”, a Christmas story of the period of the American War of Independence, was skilfull — by Norman Dann, Richard Paré, Walter Wadey, and Angus Macdougall. he former pair particularly, in powdered wigs, Wellingtons, white breeches, lace and ruffles, gave a very convincing performance. When the dust of the mid-year exam skirmish had settled, and the even tenor of school life was resumed, it became evident that production of The Vagabonds’’ would necessitate the abandonment of any other production this year. Work on the operetta was therefore regretfully dropped, i the committee went into long and secret session for the selection of a drama to be presented just prior to the college exams. It was the unanimous opinion of the committee that some departure from the menu of the three-act farce should be made, and that dramatic pabulum of a more solid sort should be ordered. The suggestion of Shakespeare was toyed with, and attempts to obtain stage copies of Richard II were made, fortunately without success. Sidney Howard's YELLOW JACK was proposed, but all drew back ap- кч by the difficulties involved in staging such an ambitious play. Finally, owever, the advocacy of the more sanguine prevailed, and YELLOW JACK went into rehearsal. Stage engineering was entrusted to Father W. X. Bryan, S.J., who, with the aid of a not-to-be-too-highly-praised crew, and by dint of four or five hours labour daily, over a period of weeks, eventually evolved a stage adequate to the presentation of a play which had taxed all the facilities of the Martin Beck Theatre, New York, in 1934. It was a revelation of the store of talent to be found in the college and senior high school, and an indication of the value of the courses in elocution, that the
