The recent production of Aristophanes' comedy, the "Birds," in Cambridge, England, seems from all reports to have been a most gratifying success. The mere labor and care that must be employed in putting one of the old Greek plays on the stage is really enormous, and the successful completion of so great a task must be a source of congratulation to all engaged in it. The uniform success which has greeted the production of all the Greek plays brought out in England leads us to ask whether it would not be possible to give another play here at Harvard. The "OEdipus" was eminently successful in every way, and certainly from the great and general interest which it aroused all through the country, would encourage an attempt to produce another. At any rate a discussion of the question will do no harm, while it may show the project to be practicable.
