The title of the play is, "The Midnight Cry." The play supposedly takes place some place near Calshot, England, at the summer home of the Earl of Calderwood.

Mr. Todd, the principal of Howard !"lchool, showed u::; a film entitled, "Nanook, a Story of Life and Love in the Frozen North." Th(' film showed how the Eskimo family went to the American Trading post. At first we thought that there was only one person In the boat and that was very evident for we saw only C>ne person.
