...announcement of two new members in the cast of one of its three French plays, the Cercle Francais last night completed preliminary plans for its production at the Fine Arts Theatre on December 15. The newly-named actor and actresses are respectively J. S. B Archer '30 and Miss Elizabeth Moller, who take the parts of Un Officier and Zelie in "Le Pater", the drama in verse by Francois Coppee which will be the second number on the club's program...
...cast is good. It brings to us once more Edna Hibbard, in our midst a few weeks ago as Dorothy in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". To be frank, Miss Hibbard is not so pleasing as she was in her other vehicle, but this is largely because she is left out of the wisecracking mentioned above.

...face of such trying conditions the company has done remarkably well.

That she refused to do. Finally, in October, the Board of Education recommended to the Teachers Retirement Board that she be placed on pension. The matter is now before that board. It is unfortunate, and I wish we could...
...Unlike Miss Mary Byrne, Miss Emily Rowland, who taught school in New York and Virginia, always found a charm in the monotony of her career. A year ago, the University of the State of New York awarded her the degree of Doctor of Letters; last week she celebrated her 100th birthday in Sherwood, N. Y., where she lives, saying: "Both boys and girls are better than they were fifty years ago. . . . When I was a girl all boys thought that it was the thing to do to be fast and impertinent. . . . The girls in my youth were neither...
