Arrangements have been made by the Harvard Dramatic Club for a radio broad-cast of its coming play, "Charles and Mary." The presentation, in an abbreviated form, will be given over station WBZ on Sunday afternoon from 3.30 until 4 o'clock.
Last April the club rendered its annual spring play over the radio in the first broadcast in its history. The play, "B.J. One" was given over the same station with great success, but it is felt that it was not as well adapted for radio performance as the present production, since much of the play's dramatic value depended on its striking naval scenery. To facilitate the rendition and to make it easier to understand over the radio, a few minor parts will be cut out and some lines omitted.
The club also announces that it will present its annual Christmas Miracle Play, on Sunday afternoon, December 20, against the cathedral background in the Germanic Museum. The title of the play and the exact time of presentation has not been fully decided. As in "Charles and Mary" the feminine parts will be taken by members of the Radcliffe Idler Club.
The stage productions of "Charles and Mary" will be given on the evenings of December 16, 17, and 18, at 8.20 o'clock. The play, which portrays the tragedy of Charles Lamb's life, torn between devotion for his sister and for a neighbor, Hester Savory, is being directed by Edward Massey '15, a former student of the 47 Workshop. Mr. Massey has coached the Club in three recent plays, and finds, in this play of Joan Temple's abundant opportunity for picturesque scenery and period costumes, as well as for dramatic moments, and character portrayals of Lamb's literary contemporaries.
