As its forty-fifth annual Spring production, the Harvard Dramatic Club will present "The Watched Pot" by Saki (H. H. Munro) tonight and tomorrow night at Brattle Hall. The play will be in three acts, with the curtain rising at 8.30 o'clock.
The production is directed by G. E. Massey '15, and will have a new panelled set built by J. C. Haggot '35, production manager. The cast is composed of Harvard and Radcliffe students. After the play, George Simon's "Confederates" will furnish music for dancing until 2 o'clock. The orchestra will also play Victor Herbert overtures between the acts. Lois Moran, star of "Of Thee I Sing," will be present at the dance following the show tonight.
Saki's comedy concerns a young English gentleman heir to a large estate who is about to inherit his legacy. Matters are hindered by the presence of his mother, a domineering character in the county-seat where the story takes place. There are four young ladies after the youthful "catch," and on this point the comedy's humorous confusion turns.
Prices Range From $.50
Tickets are on sale at Brattle Hall, Daley's Drug Store, and may be obtained from agents in the Houses and in the Union. Admission price is $2, and $1 for reserved seats, general admission being $.50.
