Preparations for "Hamlet."

The committee in charge of the performance of "Hamlet" in Sanders Theatre hope to complete their preparations by tomorrow night. A force of carpenters and painters are putting the finishing touches on the Elizabethan stage, under the direction of Professor H. L. Warren of the Department of Architecture, assisted by Mr. J. L. Smith. Professor Warren and his brother are completing the more difficult hand decoration themselves, and have spent a great deal of time in the work. Some very valuable and beautiful tapestry has been loaned by Mrs. A. Cary. The curtains and draperies are from the Paine Furnishing Company, of Boston. The present lighting arrangements in Sanders Theatre are not suited to giving the desired impression of an open air theatre, and electricians are at work on a different system.

A considerable number of undergraduates are rehearsing under the direction of Professor Baker for their parts in an Elizabethan audience. The greater number will stand in the pit, and a few will watch the play as "gentlemen" gallants in the stage galleries.
