Delta Upsilon Elizabethan Revival

The Harvard chapter of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity will this year present as its annual Elizabethan revival Ben Jonson's comedy, "The Silent Woman."

This play is probably the most interesting and best constructed of Jonson's works. The plot is outlined with clearness and amusing situations abound. The story concerns itself with the winning of an inheritance and the schemes employed to obtain the fortune are most ingenious. A nephew seeking his uncle's riches procures a silent woman, really a youth, to wed his uncle. The conclusion finds the nephew the accepted heir. The scene of the play is laid in London.

Rehearsals will begin shortly after the mid-year period. Mr. A. S. Hill, instructor in elocution, will again prepare the acting version and have general supervision of the production.

Four performances will be given, as follows: graduates' night--March 27, in Brattle Hall; Cambridge performances--March 28 and 30, in Brattle Hall; Boston performance--March 31, in Potter Hall.
