The two Dramatic Club plays, Holberg's "Erasmus Montanus" and Lord Dunsany's "Fame and the Poet," were read yesterday afternoon at the Phillips Brooks House by R. T. Bushnell 2L, a former president, to the members and candidates of the Dramatic Club and the officers of the Idler Club at Radcliffe, who are co-operating with the University players in the selection of the female characters. Over 150 were present.
The setting of "Erasmus Montanus" is laid in a small town in Denmark in the 18th century. The play is not only remarkable as a series of pictures of continental life of the time, but it also treats of a situation of universal interest with the unsurpassed humor that has made Holberg famous.
Lord Dunsany's one-act comedy is laid in London of today. Both plays give unlimited opportunities to actors, scenery designers, and producing force, and are ideally suited to the Dramatic Club's purposes.
