First Night of Play by Sheldon '08

The initial performance of "Salvation Nell," a drama, written by E. B. Sheldon '08, last year's president of the Dramatic Club, will be given by Mrs. Fiske and her company at Providence this evening. The play, which tells the story of a member of the Salvation Army, was accepted by Mrs. Fiske, several months ago. The leading part, taken by Mrs. Fiske, is that of a drudge in a saloon on the Bowery, upon which, on Christmas night, the curtain rises. As usual in her mounting of a play, Mrs. Fiske has striven to make setting and action atmospheric.

The play will open next Tuesday at the Hackett Theatre, New York.
