BUSY DAYS FOR THE MASQUE.

Preparation for Junior Week Play—To Appear Also in Rochester.

The past few weeks have been a busy period for the Cornell Masque. At almost every hour of the day and evening some * part of the cast or chorus has been rehearsing for the Junior week play. After twenty years of existence as an organization local to Ithaca, the Masque this year will look for applause in a wider field^ and the Junior week play will PRINCIPALS IN THE MASQUERS CO MIC OPERA.

Pond, '10, Rochester; Bill Dodger, York city. Not much respect is shown to chronology in the play, and comic situations result from the mixture of ancient Mexican splendor and up-to- date college slang. Two young Americans, Jack Sheppard, a naval officer, and Bill Dodger, son of the Eighth Assistant Secretary of the Navy, invade the realm of King Po- pocaterpillar VII in search of a col- lection of royal jewels to be found, according to a parchment which has fallen into their hands, hidden in an ancient idol. Other strangers in the kingdom are a German scientist and his daughter Gretchen. The German is hunting for idols for a museum. Other characters are the queen, a princess, the prime minister and the lord high chamberlain. The cast is as follows: King Popocater pillar VII, R. V. Davey, '09, East Orange, N. J.
