A cast of veteran actors has been announced for "Le Controleur des Wagons-Lits," a comedy by Alexandre Bisson chosen by the Cercle Francais for production this December. Miss Janet Sabine will again play the leading feminine role for the Cercle, while the principal male characters are to be acted by E. P.

Other young ladies of Boston taking important roles in the forthcoming play are the Misses Elizabeth Lyman and Charlotte Moseley.
