Hasty Pudding Theatricals.

The preparations for the annual spring theatricals of the Hasty Pudding Club are nearly completed. The name of the piece to be presented this year is "Granada." The libretto is by J. R. Oliver '94, the music by E. B. Hill ' 94, and D. G. Mason '95. A solo for D. C. Greene ' 95, is also being written by L. S. Thompson L. S.

The action takes place in Granada, in the castle and grounds of the Caliph. An astronomer and Captain of the Guard in the service of the Caliph become incensed at certain trickery which he has played upon them and determine to obtain revenge. With this object they ally themselves with a queen who has been discarded from the Caliph's Harem and a soubrette from a travelling company. The Caliph has offered a prize to the person who shall bring him the most beautiful woman. For this the soubrette and the queen determine to compete. Thoroughly disguised and made up to appear as beautiful as possible, they win over all the others in competition. Between the two, however, the Caliph can not decide, and so accepts both. The astronomer and captain of the guard receive the prize. But in attempting to escape, the queen and soubrette disclose their identity. All the conspirators are captured and sentenced to be executed but are saved at the last moment by reason of a promise which the caliph has made to the soubrette.
