The Speakers' Club will present Edmond Rostand's comedy, "The Romancers," in Brattle Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. The performance will be given for the benefit of the Cambridge Hospital League.
The plot of the play turns upon the desire of Bergamin to marry his son Percinet to Sylvette, the daughter of his neighbor Pasquinot. In order to accomplish this the fathers separate their children that they may love each other the more, and strive to be re-united. As a part of the ruse, Bergamin abducts Sylvette, Percinet rescues her, discovers the fraud, and goes into exile. Straforel then kidnaps Sylvette in earnest, in order to drive the romantic nonsense from her head. Percinet returns from exile, finds Sylvette, and the two lovers are reconciled.
