PLAYS BY DUNSANY AND HOLBERG HEARD AT THE INITIAL READING.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

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.
