MacRae, M.A., Ph.D., said in \concluding an address on “The Soliloquy in Shakespeare” at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club, at the Char- lottetown Hotel yesterday. The gifted speaker, who is @ow on the staff of the English department of Mount Allison Uni- versity, quoted from and des- cribed the result desired and achieved in Hamlet's soliloquy.
“Shakespeare's plays are well supplied with soliloquys.”’ Dr. MacRae continued, as he went on to describe MacBeth, Othello, Ju- dius Caesar, King Lear, Henry IV and Henry V.
Describing in detail the ‘“‘tailk- ing to himself” effect of Ham- let, Dr. MacRae stressed the ef- fect gained by “thinking out loud” in this and other productions’ of the Bard of Avon.
Introduced by chairman Dr. Frank MacKinnon, the speaker was thanked by co-chairman Ken Parker, a former member of the staff of Mount Allison Uni-
versity.

Children Finish Trip To Shrine
BOSTON (AP) Sixty-three handicapped. children returned Monday from a pilgrimage to the shrine at Lourdes, France, led by Richard Cardinal Cughing, Ro- man Catholic Archbishop of Bos- ton.
They arrived at Boston in two planes from Gander, Nfld., much delayed, after engine trouble halted a big Irish airliner at Gander.
The first plane brought 24 chil- dren and nuns who had them their care. ,
The second Pan American Air- ways craft carried 39 children, nuns and the archbishop.
The cardinal was cheered and applauded by a throng of about 500 who had gathered to greet the returning pilgrims. SUCCESSFUL PILGRIMAGE
The prelate told the welcoming group “it was the most suécess- ful of any pilgrimage I have ever sponsored. The children were wonderful and remarkable under every phase of the trip.”
Of the nuns, he said “I have never seen anything on this earth comparable to the dedicated serv- ices of these nuns. to the chil- dren.”’
Referring to the delay at Gan- der, the archbishop said “the children took it as part of the pilgrimage.”’
The first group of children ar- rived singing ‘‘Ave Maria,” their thin voice vying with the rush of wind and roar of engines.
