The chronicle-history, "Ralegh in Guiana," by Assistant Professor Wendell was played in Sanders Theatre last evening by invitation of the Department of English.
The staging was that used in the production of "Epiocene" which was given under the auspices of the Department two years ago, with some minor additions to give more semblance to the place of action of the play.
The play has much merit and on the whole was well presented. Professor Wendell's language is carefully chosen and the piece shows thoughtful work. The action runs smoothly and vigorously. The climaxes are many and each Is good. It is a pity that the play does not end with Ralegh's attempt at suicide and his resolve to return to England.
The acting was somewhat unnatural, with too much professional affection as a rule. Mr. Jacob Wendell, Jr., as Young Ralegh was easily the best. His song was enthusiastically encored. Professor Wendell was scarcely to be heard at times and his gestures had little expression.
