"SILENT WOMAN."

The members of the Department of English have voted to ask Mr. Franklin Sargent of the Lyceum School of Acting, with a company of his pupils, to give Ben Jonson's "Silent Woman" in Sanders Theatre. The time set is March 20, but that is not yet definitely determined.

It is the intention to have the stage setting of the play a careful reproduction of that of an old London theatre. Mr. Sargent's company gave one performance of the "Silent Woman" in New York recently, but there was no such attempt at an elaborate reproduction of the old setting. If the play is successfully given, it will be the first accurate revival of an Elizabethan play, Shakespeare excepted, that has ever been seen in this country.

The committee of the Department of English who are in charge of the plans are Professor Kittredge, who is chairman, Professor Child and Mr. Baker. The arrangements as to the price of the tickets and the time and place of their sale will be announced later. There will probably be a matinee and an evening performance.

The same company will give a performance for the Yale students at the Hyperion Theatre in New Haven, at a later date.
