The plot centers around the life of Little John Sarto tFrank Floodj, a ruthless gang- ster, who returns from ten years in prison only to f-ind that his throne has been usurped by the Gimp fJoseph Chickj, and that he is to be taken for a ride. He escapes his would be murderers and takes a refuge with the Lit- tle Brothers of the Flowers, a community of monks who, as Little John puts it, do nothing but pray and herd posies. Brother Nasturti- um fFrancis Naumanj , ex-prizefighter, Broth- er Hollyhock fRobert Buelt and Louis Kwiat- kowskij, the community physician, and Abbot Jonquil fJohn Castulik and Tom Vogentha- lerj, show Little John a kindness and a way of life he never knew possible, Brother Orchid's continual use of slang and his propensity for such antics as playing Ale- xander's Ragtime Band on the chapel organ startle the brothers just a little, but they ac- cept him for what he is and he finds happiness with them. His chance to do something big comes when his former cronies attempt to break into the flower m a r k e t, which is the brothers' sole means of existence. Fat D u t c h y tJohn Litteken and Paul Gensertj, the dumb, ge- nial bartender, is the only one of Orchid's old friends who remains faithful to him in his new life. How Brother Orchid handled the mobsters and becomes an unsung hero make the climax of the play. Feise. Bro. Frank Bischof Gfcfivifies GLEE CLUB McBride's Glee Club, under the capable di- rection of Brother Francis Mueller, who has served in that capacity since 1936, has again brought distinction as a choral group to Mc- Bride. Not limiting themselves to singing, the mem- bers of the Glee Club participated in their third operetta, entitled The Masked Baritone. The characters were chosen from the Glee Club members, who were guided by the ex- perienced coaching of Brother Mueller and Brother Louis Schuster. The conflict of Reggie with Mortimer, a highly cultured man, who in reality gets ev- ery word and every thing mixed up, the clash- ing of the station owner, Joe of SOS, with the shrewd business man, Cappy Ricks, drive this plot to an amazing ending. Other affairs in which the Glee Club took part were the Fontbonne Festival on May 3, on Parent-Teachers' Night, and the graduation exercises held at Blessed Sacrament Church.
