Farce, Tragedy Contrast in House Plays

A featured player in a racy rendition of the "Night of Burning Postle," Master Eliot Perkins '23 hides behind a wig in the Lowell House Christmas play last night.

A tense moment occurs in "Alcestis," which is still in rehearsal stages. The play opens tomorrow in Sanders Theatre.

Produced by Adams House, the Euripides play features original Greek music, and a gigantic set, sixteen feet high and thirty-seven feet across, which will be set on the Sanders stage. The production will be the first Greek drama set in the coliseum manner since 1916, when the classics club played in the stadium.
