NOTRE DAME COACH AND

Wing Collapses As the Plane Roars

Conies of Famed Grid Mentor's
Death in Crash
(Omaha Bee-News.)
Bazaar, Kan., March 31.—Knute
Rockne, Notre Dame football genius,
plunged to his death with five fellow
passengers and two pilots on a
Transcontinental and Western Air,
Inc., air liner Tuesday in the mid
Kansas grazing country near here.
A mist that froze as it fell was
blamed Tuesday night for the crash.
The plane flew into a fine mist as it
took off at Kansas City. Weather
conditions apparently became worse
as the ship headed southwest toward
Wichita. The mist formed an ice and
stuck to the plane. Witnesses who
arrived on the scene shortly after the
crash said ice was on the ship when
they reached it.
The plane, California bound from
Kansas City, crashed on a farm, kill
ing a 1 1 eight occupants instantly.
Witnesses said that the craft, flying
through clouds and fog, lost a wing
in the air and hurtled to the ground
like a crippled bird.
First reports that there had been
an explosion in the air and that the
wreckage burned, proved unfounded.
The dead:
Knute Rockne.

OPERETTA BY THE HIGH
SCHOOL GLEE CLUBS
Reminiscent of the glories of Old
Spain, with its black-eyed senoritas,
gay caballeros and gallant bull-fight
ers, was the operetta, “The Belle of
Barcelona,” given at the K. C. hall,
Thursday, Mnrch 2flth, by the Glee
Clubs of the O'Neill Public School,
under the direction of Miss Roberta
Arbuthnot.
The scene opened on the I’lazn of
Madrid, a suitable setting for the un
folding of the romance of Marguer
ite, accomplished daughter of Luis
de Montero, and her American lover,
Harold Wright. Complications arise
when she finds that her hand has al
ready been promised to the unscrup
ulous nobleman Francisco de la Vega
and arrangements have bee n made
by her ambitious mother, Gloria de
Montero, and her unsuspecting fath
er, for her marriage.
A dash of color was added by the
introduction of Emilio, the champion
toreador of all Spain, whose life was
saved from the horns of the madden
ed bull by the timely intervention of
Harold Wright.
Comic light was thrown on the sit
uation by the maneuverings and
amorousness of Patrick Malone, (son
of the old sod and Martha Matilda
Ayres, prim English governess to
Senorita de Montero.
A touch of vfilainy was added by
4he machinations of De la Vega and
Pedro, the manager of the Montero1
tobacco plantations.
Marguerita de Montero, as por
trayed by Mary Haffner, was espec
ially charming in her picture frock

particularly pleasing in the solos
“No, No, N,” and “I Will Not Yield."
Garland Bressler played the part
of Harold Wright with admirable
sincerity. Gail Bressler, as the fath
er, looked the parti of the distin
guished grandee, and Margery Gilles
pie, as Senora tie Montero, was the
traditional designing mother. Loree
Sauers, in her black mantilla, with
matching fan, and Melvin Pilger as
toreador, presented a delightful con
trast. Their duet, “Honeymooning,"
rendered in a gay lilting manner was
especially worthy of commendation.
Thomas Liddy, as Patrick Malone,
and Louise Davies, as Miss Ayres,
produced a laugh at every appear
ance. The little red-faced Irishman,
with his amusing brogue, gave an
excellent performance. T he petite
governess sang “1 Am In Love," with

Vega, gave a professional touch to
the performance. Gene Kilpatrick,
as Pedro, enacted his role with ease,
lohn Harbottle, Robert Smith, Or

Hazel Schwisow all deserve honor

The voices of the chorus were nice

aperetta, “The Belle of Barcelona.”
