The Cradle Song The Cradle Song, a sentimental comedy set in a Spanish convent of the middle Nineteenth Century, was presented on November 1, 2, and 3, 1962 in the Monmouth College Little Theater. This simple romantic play has been given in many countries and trans- lated into many languages. It has been called a comedy based on a tear. The blend of the monastic and the worldly was nicely achieved by the Monmouth student cast under the direction of Brooks McNamara. i i 4 ' 1 s J If ' ®. 4 : ' 4 1 ,i;i :Z5. k i Wt M— W y Wfe iBgi v ' M . m m ' i -««!»v - — 1 i ' 1 ' 1 ' V ?
