Winthrop's Christmas Farce Goes Into Initial Rehearsal

"Jim Bent, Deserter" or "Santa Claus' Partner," "a Christmas bijou" or farce of anonymous dramatization, made its first advance towards the boards at 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when members of John Winthrop House held their first rehearsal for this dramatic masterpiece which they will present in the Junior Common Room of the House on the evening of December 20.

Meauwhile, as Kenneth P. Kempton '12, instructor in English, and non-resident tutor in Winthrop House, directs his players through their preliminary paces, carpenters have finished the erection of an unobtrusive unpainted stage, measuring 24 by 10 by 4 feet across the east end of the Common Room, and other artisans are expected shortly to appear to complete the decoration of the stage, and execute the engineering feat of hanging the curtatu.
