"The Idler", Radcliffe's dramatic club, has presented Sierra's "Cancione de Cuna" at Agassiz Theatre. To the drama itself there is no great excitement. But the performance is evidently intended more to depict the sober, melancholy life of the Roman Cathlotic Sisterhood, than to act out a gripping love story.

The setting of both acts is in a convent.--In the first of the holy sisters are presented with a foundling, which their doctor adopts, and they agree to take care of. The second act occurs twenty years later. The foundling has grown to womanhood, and the sisters are preparing her trousseau, for she has fallen in love with Antonio, an architect, and the wedding is imminent. Antonio and his bride go away leaving the nuns, especially Sister Joanna of the Cross--who has acted as a mother to the girl--plunged in deepest gloom.

Harriet Hammond was happily cast as Theresa, and Helen Howe as the Vicaress supplied a very welcome element of humor. The other members of the cast too, were well chosen; they made one wish to see them in a happier vehicle for the display of their talents.
