SHIFT IN CAST OF PLAY PRESENTED NEXT WEEK

Announcement by the Harvard Dramatic Club that Katherine Embry would take over the part now being played by Mary Emerson in the Radcliffe Idler Club's performance of "Circumstantial Evidence" was made yesterday.

Rehearsals, which have taken place at Holden Chapel for the past three weeks, were shifted yesterday to the stage of the Pi Eta Theater, as the cast enters its last week of intensive training. From now on until the final dress rehearsal, on Monday, December 12, this theater will be the concentration point of local dramatic interest.

The designing committee recently finished the construction of an imposing courtroom set wherein a large portion of the action takes place. The walls are made of veneer panelling, while the set itself is an accurate reproduction made from pictures obtained in London of an English courtroom. The aim in its construction is for realism; the purpose of which being to heighten the dramatic effect.

Since the action takes place in England, the costuming department has obtained the appropriate black wigs for the gentlemen of the court, and the customary wigs. These so-called "scratch wigs" are a traditional survival from the time of George III, when they were prescribed "as wear befitting the dignity of a court of law."

The play is being produced by the Harvard Dramatic Club together with the Radcliffe Idler Club.
