24 SELECTED FOR CAST OF LOWELL HOUSE PLAY

Twenty-four Lowell House members have been selected to constitute the cast of "Swastika und Veritas," the musical pageant to be presented Wednesday evening in the Lowell House dining room. The performance is part of the celebration in honor of the seventy-seventh birthday of President-Emeritus Lowell. In spite of the petition of the House members for his presence, Mr. Lowell has declined the invitation to attend the function. Dinner will be served at 6 o'clock, instead of at 7 o'clock, as it was previously announced.

The play, written by James W. Tower '35, is under the direction of Frederick deW. Bolman '35. Hugh K. McElheny '33 has composed the music incidental to the performance, including the overture, the Hitler march, the Hitler hymn, and the academic march. McElheny will also conduct the orchestra of 24 artists, a number of whom are from outside the House. The lyrics have been written by John P. Farquhar '35.

The pageant, in a humorous vein, de picts the efforts of Hitler and seven of his Brownshirts to cope with Harvard Indifference and with the Liberal Club in trying to force the University to conform with the Nazi policies.
