Reviving a farce comedy from the age of rollicking Elizabethan drama, the D. U. Fraternity will present Francis Beaumont's "Knight of the Burning Pestle" Friday and Saturday nights at the Chapter House, 396 Harvard Street.

The play, a regular old comedy, thriller involving ghosts, coffins, intrigues, and rowdy fights, is being prepared under the able coaching of Professor Frederick C. Packard, Jr. '20, professor of Public Speaking, and Mr. Robert Young. The cast will swing into the final week with a dress rehearsal tonight.

A performance for undergraduates will be held on Thursday night. On Friday the play will be followed by a formal dance till 2 o'clock and on Saturday by informal dancing.
