SHAKSPERIAN MATINEE AT HOLLIS

Proceeds of Double Bill Will be Utilized for Belgian Relief.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

There will be a special matinee performance for the benefit of the Belgian Relief Fund at the Hollis Theatre this afternoon at 2 o'clock, in which several Harvard men will take prominent parts. The program will consist of a double-bill of Shakspere which was often given by Edwin Booth, but has not been produced since his time. Mr. Edward Vroom, who was a member of Booth's company, is managing the present performance.

The two plays are "The Merchant of Venice," omitting the last act, and "Katherine and Petruchio," an adaptation by Booth of "The Taming of the Shrew." W. L. Bullock '17 will take the part of Bassanio, and D. L. Kennedy '17 that of Salarino in "The Merchant of Venice"; N. B. Clark '16 will impersonate Tubal in "The Merchant of Venice" and Grumio in "Katherine and Petruchio", while R. Coggeshall '16 will play Biondello in the last-named play.

Tickets are on sale at the Box Office of the Hollis Theatre and at Herrick's.
