TRAVESTY BOLSHEVISM IN PUDDING COMEDY

Rehearsals of the Hasty Pudding Club's spring production, "Crowns and Clowns", are proceeding satisfactorily and all will be ready for the opening performance in the Hasty Pudding Theatre next Thursday evening, April 17, at 8.15. Only a very few tickets remain unsold for this first performance, but a limited number of general admissions will be available at the box office on Thursday evening.

"Crowns and Clowns" deals with the political ups and downs of the distant land of Czecho-Ptomania where a lazy king and a fiery Bolshevik each take their turn in making the people's existence wretched. It is entirely a travesty on Bolshevism, portraying the socialist rule in its humorous aspects.
