An important feature of the Pi Eta musical comedy "Al Fareedah" will be the unusual scenery, designed and executed by Eugene N. Frost and Edward Ely of the Boston Art Museum School. These two men, who have done some of the best sets for the "47 Workshop" plays in recent years, are artists of the modern school of theatrical decoration. The first set for "Al Fareedah," depicting a garden, is marked by soft colors, strict attention to details, and the clever use of hedge-rows.
The brilliant coloring of the setting for the second act, the scene of which is laid in Petunia, Arabia, forms a decided contrast to the first. Here the artists have been careful to produce nothing which is not true in every detail, and have well caught the atmosphere of the orient.
Albert M. Kanrich has done the orchestration, and his twelve-piece orchestra will play the "Al Fareedah" musical numbers, which are well adapted to dancing, and will be used for the dances after the performances. "He'll Wait," sung by M. H. Dill '20 as Ella, and "Say, You Couldn't Hold Me Back," sung by J. F. Lautner '21 as Stuffy, are two of Dill's best competitions.
