DRAMATIC CLUB FARCE SWINGS INTO REHEARSAL WITH TWO WEEKS TO GO

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Radcliffe College and the Kathleen Dell school have both contributed to the recently chosen cast of the Harvard Dramatic Club's sixty-second production, "Too Much Johnson," the second play of the current season. This farcical comedy is being directed by Tod Squior '43, with Leonard Kent '43 as Assistant Director and Barney Lefferts '44 as Director's Assistant.

Written by William Gillette, the man who made Sherlock Holmes a stage personality, the comedy includes two cases of mistaken identify revolving around three love affairs. Since the time of the play is about 1900, the cast will be fully costumed. The scenery is being designed by Ted Werch '42.

With December 12, 13, and 14 as the dates on which the play is to be presented at Sanders Theatre, rehearsals got under way a week ago. The production of a comedy is in line with the Dramatic Club's aim to give a number of different types of plays during a season in order to appeal to the tastes of everyone in the University.

The actresses in "Too Much Johnson" are Miss Charlotte Armstrong of Radcliffe and Misses Claire Mathey and Claire Johnson of Kathleen Dell.

The male parts will be taken by: MarDurgin '44, A. G. Field 2G, Donald Fine '44, George W. Fowler, Jr. '43, Michael Millen '44, John B. Rand '43, William Eugene Robinson '43, John Turner '44, Richard J. Wiechmann '43, Nicholas Van Slyck '44.
