DIRECTOR ANNOUNCES CAST OF MIRACLE PLAY

ONLY THOSE WHO BOUGHT TICKETS FOR "FIESTA" ADMITTED

The cast of the annual miracle play, "Dublin Cycle", which will be presented tomorrow and Thursday by the Harvard Dramatic Club, was announced yesterday by G. W. Harrington '30, director of this year's presentation.

This will be the first showing in America of this play which was translated from the Gaelic by Katherine Tynan Hinkson and it will be produced, as have the miracle plays in previous years, against the cathedral background in the Germanic Museum. The play has received the more specific title of "Our Lord's Coming and Childhood", and the translation has robbed it of none of the native beauty of rhyme and action that characterizes the original classic of Gaelic literature.

The cast of characters follows: Angel  H. G. Meyer '30 Angel  W. H. Melish '31 First Nun  Julia Bygrave Second Nun  Rachael Allen First Woman  Margaret Cook Second Woman  Elizabeth Winter Third Woman  Adelaid Selbourne Joseph  J. M. Sargent '31 Mary  Patricia Stevenson Elizabeth  Lily Jones First Shepherd  M. P. Smith '32 Second Shepherd  M. deJ. Manduley '31 Third Shepherd  J. F. Eddy '31 Melchior  G. W. Harrington '30 Balthazar  L. F. Robinson '30 Caspar  C. L. Fox. Jr. '29

There will be two presentations of "Dublin Cycle" each evening, one at 7.30 and one at 9.15. They will be open free of charge to the audience of "Fiesta", but there will be no sale of tickets to the public. Contrary to current rumors the management of the play states that it is not a substitute play for "Fiesta", but that it was planned earlier in the year following the custom of the Dramatic Club in past years
