BENTLEY TO LECTURE

Eric Bentley, Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, will open his spring series of lectures, "Springs of Pathos," to night at 8 p.m. at Lowell Lecture Hall.

Bentley's series of four lectures will study "the emotional content of the drama," beginning with a study of melodrama. In succeding weeks he will speak on "Farce"' (March 8), "Tragedy" (March 16), and "Comedy" (March 23).
