Speakers' Club Play in Brattle Hall

The Speakers' Club will present Edmond Rostand's comedy, "The Romancers," in Brattle Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. The performance will be given for the benefit of the Cambridge Hospital League.

The plot of the play turns upon the desire of Bergamin to marry his son Percinet to Sylvette, the daughter of his neighbor Pasquinot.

Straforel then kidnaps Sylvette in earnest, in order to drive the romantic nonsense from her head. Percinet returns from exile, finds Sylvette, and the two lovers are reconciled.
