First St. _ Phone 77 Mary ‘Anita Jans Gives Interpretation At Graduate Recital Mary Anita Jans, senior dramaâ€" tic major will present "Herself: Mrs. Patrick Crowley" by Doran Hurley for her graduate recital to be given Saturday, May 4 in the Clarke College auditorium. The reâ€" cital will be the grand climax of Miss Jans‘ dramatic career since her entrance as a freshman into the Clarke College Players of which she is now president. Miss Florence Kelly, harpist, will provide musical interludes of Irish selections beâ€" tween the acts. "Herself: Mrs. Patrick Crowley" is a romantic tale by Doran Hurley, author of the "Old Parish," and is characterized by the friendly and kindly humor which always flavors Mt. Hurley‘s works. That humor is the prominent quality of Knry‘ Anita‘s dramatic monologue version of the book, a version which has won not only Mr. Hurley‘s approbaâ€" tion but also his enthusiastic praise. Miss Jans‘ version, like the book itâ€" self, begins when the indomitable Mrs. Crowley wins the Irish sweepâ€" stakes and goes to New York. Her adventures there during the memorâ€" able three weeks include the inciâ€" dent of a crazed communist a venâ€" ture into Cafe Society and almost everything imaginable. As such it is a worthy *vehicle for a dramatic student whose roles have ranged in age from child to octogenarian, in character from a charming fiancee to a nervous wouldâ€"be suitor, and in nature from hilarious humor to stark tragedy. Miss Jans, who portrayed the part of the mother in the recent producâ€" tion, "Out of the Shadows, has been an outstanding member of the draâ€" matic department for the past four years, not only in her acting but also as playwright and director as well. As a playwright she has writâ€" ten several radio scripts including "Dreams Have a Way" and "Peace of Heart." Miss Jans has directed many productions staged by memâ€" bers of the Clarke College Players; THEE HIGELAND PARK PRESs among them, "The Lady Loses Her Hoop," "None But the Lonely Heart" and "The Neighbors." In addition to her office as presiâ€" dent of the Clarke College Players, Mary Anita holds the position of prefect of the Sodality. < As a junâ€" for she was viceâ€"president of the Sodality and secretary of the Clarke College Players; as a sophomore she was secretary of her class as well as secretary of the Sodality; as a freshman she was viceâ€"president of her class; and she has been a conâ€" sistent honor student during her four years at Clarke. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter N. Jans of Evanston. Mr. Jans is active in our local Kiâ€" wanis affairs from a district view point. He is a past Lt.â€"Gov. of Diâ€" vision 1 of Kiwanis International on the Illinois Eastern Iowa district.

"The more the American people endeavor to relieve the suffering caused by the war in Europe, the less desire there will be to get into war and inflict more suffering." So said Mr. Norman H. Davis, chairâ€" man of the Central Committee, American National Red Cross, in his address to the annual meeting in Chicago on April 10. Suffering among Polish refugees in Germanâ€" occupied Poland, Rumania, Latvia, Hungary and Yugoslavia is intense and increasing.
