MENORAH SOCIETY TO GIVE PLAY

The Menorah Society will produce "The Book of Job" in Jordan Hall, Boston, on May 8. The play, though performed in English, is Grecian in manner and scenic design. The Bible story has been arranged in dramatic form by Horace Meyer Kallen '03, now an instructor in the University of Wisconsin, where he has produced the play with great success.

Samuel A. Eliot, Jr., '13 will coach the production of the play. Mr. Eliot is a grandson of President Charles W. Eliot. He has had wide experience as a producer in Indianapolis and more recently as a player in the Bandbox Theatre, New York.

"The Book of Job" will be staged to a large extent in accordance with the modern idea of scenic art, as worked out by Granville Barker in his production of "The Trojan Women" last year. There will be a large Greek chorus, and the play will have a prologue and an epilogue. There are six characters in the drama: Job, his three friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, Elihu, and Satan.

Trials for these parts will be held next Sunday at 2.30 o'clock, probably in the parlor of Phillips Brooks House. Copies of the parts to be read may be obtained by candidates at Matthews 35 tomorrow.

Next Monday Professor Lyons of Columbia will lecture on the Book of Job before the members of the Society.

Seats for the production of the play in Jordan Hall will be placed on sale not later than Thursday at Amee's the Co-operative Branch, Herrick's and from the members of the society.

The performance of "The Book of Job" will be a part of the decennial celebration of the Menorah Society being held this year.
