DRAMATIC CLUB PRESENTS PLAY TOMORROW EVENING

Other performances will be given Wednesday afternoon at the Copley Theatre, Thursday evening at the Pi Eta Theatre and Saturday evening at the Barn at Wellesley Hills. Tickets for these performances are on sale at the Co-operative branch. Kent's, and the Copley Theatre, and may also be obtained from G. C. Noyes '20, in Thayer 62.

In giving a play by Benevente, the Dramatic Club produces the work of one of the chief Spanish dramatists. He is preeminently a satirist, but his humor shows itself most in the double meanings that abound in "The Governor's Wife." Being an actor himself, he was able to ignore the common precepts of craftsmanship and to make his style one of the most complex and highly personal in literature.

He does not draw his characters crudely but shows his audience what they think, how they think, when they think it, their doubts, and their accompanying sensations.

"The Governor's Wife" is one of Benevente's best plays, for in it we have these qualities brought out most clearly. He creates a multitude of comical situations and clearly and wittily points out how the various characters act under these circumstances. There is not one dull moment in the whole performance; every-line sparkles, every line speeds on the action. Everywhere there is evidence of his subtle humor.
