To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Will you permit me through your columns to call the attention of students interested in the drama and in German literature to the fact that there will be a performance tomorrow at 2.15 o'clock in the Shubert Theatre, of Lessing's "Nathan der Weise," by the well-known company of German actors from the Irving Place Theatre of New York.
It is unnecessary to remind an academic public that Lessing's "Nathan" is the finest artistic achievement of the Period of Enlightenment in Germany, and that particularly the title role of this drama offers unusual opportunities for great acting of the psychological sort. But it may be said that it seems particularly fitting that a large number of Harvard men should attend this performance, since for the last 10 years the Irving Place Theatre Company has given its services almost annually for the benefit of the Germanic Museum of Harvard University. The performance on Thursday will be given under the auspices of the Bostoner Deutsche Gesellschaft, of which Professor Muensterberg is president. KUNO FRANCKE.
