Call for Candidates for Greek Play.

All members of the University who wish to take part in the "Chophore," the tragedy of Aeschylus to be given by the Greek Department in Sanders Theatre next May, should report to the committee in charge, Friday afternoon between 3.30 and 5.30 o'clock, in Sever 16. There are in the play seven character parts and a chorus of twelve, who will sing three choral songs to music composed for this performance. Only a limited knowledge of Greek is required, and acting or singing ability will largely determine the final selection. The provisional assignment of parts will be made as soon as possible, in order that the men may familiarize themselves with the play during the summer. Rehearsals will commence soon after College opens in the fall.

The "Choephoroe" is one of the three plays on the fortunes of the house of Atreus which form the trilogy of the "Oresteia," the last and greatest work of Aeschylus. The play deals in the main with the death of Aegisthus and Clytemnestra at the hand of Orestes, in revenge for the death of Agamemnon, and has never been staged in modern times before. The stage in Sanders Theatre will be an exact reproduction of a quarter in an ancient Greek city, and the costumes, acting, and stage properties will be in accordance with the customs of the time of Aeschylus.

In charge of the arrangements are Professors H. W. Smyth, J. H. Wright, J. W. White, C. B. Gulick, and W. F. Harris, Dr. G. H. Chase, and Dr. T. Stickney.
