In addition to the pieces especially written for it, it gave puppet productions of Shakespeare, Cervante3 and Aristophanes. Music by Vidal The musical score, accompanying the action and containing solo and part songs, is by the best known of Massenet's pupils, Paul Vidal. It is being played by Margaret Bluthardt of Ken ilworth. The prelude she will int erpret on the organ to set the mood of the production. The piano, joined by the organ played by an assistant of Miss Bluthardt's, will carry the ensuing music. The voice3 of the angel choir heard in the play are those of Lottie Kuenkle of Hubbard \Voods. Molly Mickey of Wilmette and Mar garet Albright o~ Evanston. Charlotte Bickell, whose reading of Katherine in "The Taming of the Shrew," the first production of the subscription season of Theatron's Marionette3, was so well received, will sing the solo given to the star which guides the wise man.

Dean will read Saint Joseph. Guy Bezy oi Evanston has the lines of the Indian king and the ma3ter of the animah who owns the stable in which the Christ-child is born. The Virgin Mary does not speak, but sings a lullaby. This is done by Miss Albright. Miss Muller, the only member of the company both to speak and manipulate, has the part of Marj olaine, a sh~pherdess. The figures of the play have had a pre-showing before many marionette students and enthusiasts. Dr. Lentner, the first exchange student to come from Austria, now at the University of Chicago, whose home is in Salzburg, where the famous marionettes of Anton Aicher play, has expressed the opinion that they rank favorably with the best in Europe.
