"Mademoiselle de la Seigliere Chosen as Twenty-sixth Production
French Department Will Present Drama by Sandeau March 17
The presentation of the French play "Mademonde de la Seigneur," to be presented by students of the department of rooming, continued a custom begun in 1901, when students of the department presented their first French play. The custom was to perform the time; in 1918, during the war. This will be the 20th dramatic presentation by the department. The action of the play took place in years after the fall of Napoleon and the restoration of the monarchy under Louis XVIII. In general, the play was performed during the reign of the Empereur Napoleon. One of his difficult tasks had been to reconcile the opposition fighting parties between the nobility and the common people became increasingly hard to bridge as a result of the intensified party hatred areas between the return of the Royalists to power.
In the play, the traditional ideas of the nobility before the Revolution are represented by the Marquis de la Sieglerie, a French man born in Vaubert and de Vaubert has the strength of character to throw off class conventions to the extent of becoming something like the son of a farmer and a young man of far different social standing, has risen in the armies of Napoleon to the rank of general under the old regime. During the play he attains to heights which the aristocratic characters would have thought impossible for one who belonged to the lower classes.
Sandusky, the author of the play, skilfully uses the social barriers of the period as a backdrop for his dramatic reverence in the development of a difficult problem for the heroine, the solution of which is not easily guessed before the end of the play.
