French Club Rehearses For Play "L'Amour Medecin"

Play Satirizes Medical Profession of 17th Century

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Rehearsals for "L'Amour Medecin," by Moliere, the play which the Cercle Francais will present on December 7, are already in progress. The piece, a satire on the French physician of the 17th century, is being directed by Wallace A. Fowlie, instructor in French.

In the play Moliere vents his spleen upon the medical profession with pungent humor. Prominent among the features promises to be a song by a quack physician, sung by Eli Boynton '35. Four doctors will trip a ballet to music by Lulli, an exhibition of Terpsichorean art in which Louis XIV himself took part in the original performance.
