The first public performance of three one-act plays by the Dramatic Club will be given in Brattle Hall this evening at 8.15 o'clock. The plays are: "The Bank Account," by, H. F. Brock sC.; "The Fourflushers," by C. Kinkead sC.; and "The Clod" by E. L. Beach '13. All of the authors are members of Professor G. P. Baker's course, English 47.
Mr. Beach's play, in contrast to his farcical "Let's Get Married" which the club presented in the fall, is written in serious vein. The plot hinges upon the struggle of a woman's "almost atrophied will with events that demand forceful direction." "The Bank Account" is a drama of modern scene depicting the destruction of an office drudge's hopes by his wife's financial mismanagement. "The Fourflushers," the only comedy of the three deals with a domestic situation of humorous complexity.
