PI ETA SHOW COMPILED FROM SIX MANUSCRIPTS

Old Precedent Shattered in Combining High Spots From Each of the Books Submitted to Committee

The 1925 show of the Pi Eta Club will be the product of many minds, instead of one as has been the custom heretofore, and its sponsors expect the show to be correspondingly better. Of the five or six manuscripts submitted, the plot will be taken from the book of Howard Finney '26. This will form the backbone of the play. A large part of the "patter" as playwrights have it, will be taken from the book of J. S. Murphy '25. Also the high lights of several other manuscripts will be incorporated, as far as is possible without destroying by abridgement; and addition the dramatic unities of the play. The play will be gone over thoroughly this evening by the Graduate Committee, when final judgment will be passed on what will be included and what omitted. A. H. Stafford '26 will attend the meeting to give his suggestions and additions to the material already turned in.

It has not been announced what the plot is about, or when and where it takes place. As usual the possibilities of the show are boundless.

The Pi Eta choruses will, in all probability, appear as maids-in-waiting on Cleopatra, imitating her wiles, or as their modern sisters on Broadway. Work on the show has been held up a great deal by football and cross-country, but competitions for the pants are expected to begin soon, and rehearsals will probably start directly after the Yale game.
