Arrangements for Annual D. U. Play

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Harvard Chapter of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity has decided to present this year, for its twelfth annual dramatic revival, the Elizabethan play, "The Merry Devil of Edmonton," one of a collection of fourteen plays which have been ascribed to Shakespere.

Although the date of the play is doubtful, it is known to have been first acted in 1608 at the Globe Theatre in London by His Majesty's Servants and was first coupled with the name of Shakespere in 1653, when it was entered in the Stationers' Register by H. Moseley. Tieck and two other German critics attribute the play to Shakespere: Charles Lamb claims that it was undoubtedly written by Michael Drayton; while Hazlitt and Ulrici unite on Thomas Heywood.

The rehearsals for the actors will begin immediately after the mid-year examination period, and the first performance, Graduates' Night, will be given March 12 in Brattle Hall. There will be four public performances, the first two taking place on March 14 and 15 in Brattle Hall, the third in Copley Hall, Boston, on March 17, and the last in "The Barn" at Wellesley on March 19.
