"Who's Who" has been chosen as the title of this year's Hasty Pudding Club production, according to announcement made last night. The whole book has been cut down to working shape and the result is a play that is said to be one of the best that the Hasty Pudding Club has had for years. The second act, in particular, offers an opportunity for an unusual staging effect and the management is spending much time and money on it.
Several promising vocalists have reported, among them are A. Mackey-Smith '24, president of the University Glee Club, and Clark Hodder '25, University hockey and Golf star. The whole cast is being coached intensively with the prospect of a tentative cast being chosen before Coach Silvers' departure tomorrow.
Moynahan Has Specialty Role
An entirely new specialty role has been created for J. H. S. Moynahan Occ. Whose dancing was one of the features of last year's production. The musical numbers so far, promise to do, more than equal the standard set by previous plays.
Announcement was also made that the cast will be entertained in Washington at tea before the performance on April 16 by Mrs. Charles MacVeagh,. It has been learned that the members of the cast will also be entertained during their stay in Washington at the home of Mr. Larz Anderson '88.
The itinerary has been more or less definitely decided upon, with the total omission of Providence, R. I., and the substitution of Hot Springs, Va., for Chicago. The inclusion of Hot Springs makes the Washington performance possible.
The first opportunity for undergraduates to see the play will on April 10 at the Hasty Pudding Theatre and the first public performance in Boston will occur on April 24.
