CERCLE CHOOSES COMEDY FOR INITIAL VENTURE

"Le Monde ou L'On S'Ennuie" has been chosen by the Cercle Francais as the play which it will give in the Fine Arts Theatre in the early part of December.

This play a comedy in three acts, was written by Edouard Pailleron in 1881, and was first acted in the Comedie Francaise that same year. Since then it has been played by the Comedie many times, and has always met with great success. Debaunat and Coquelin, two famous French Comedians, acted the title roles in France.

"Le Monde on L'On S'Ennuie" is a play of social life, types, manners and social morals. Several love plots are included in the comedy, which has a great deal of action, is filled with amusing situations and nice subtleties, and has a strong love appeal. However, in the opinion of J. D. Lodge '25, president of the Cercle, there is no reason why it should shock its audiences.

Only Two Scenery Shifts

Although there are three acts to the comedy, there are but two different changes of scenery, which will aid greatly in producing the play. Of the 20 characters involved 11 are male parts, and nine female. The Misses Ethel Thayer, Helen Grew, Emily Sears, and Elizabeth Beal, performers in the productions given by the Cercle last year, are likely to find parts in this year's play. Of the male actors J. R. Robinson '25, Ernest Iselin Jr. '26, and R. D. M. Merion '27, all of whom took principal parts in last year's plays, will most probably play major roles again this year.

Cercle Will Meet Thursday

There will be a meeting of the Cercle Francais in the club room, 9 Grays Hall, on Thursday, and at this meeting the plans for the play will be discussed. The trials will begin the end of this week and will continue until late in October. The girls will have special trials, and no parts will be definitely filled until after the arrival of Monsieur Perrin, the coach.
