ORIENTAL COMEDY BY PI ETA

"A Bug in a Rug," the forty-eighth annual theatrical production of the Pi Eta Society, is a musical comedy in two acts, and, as usual, both the words and music are written by its undergraduate members. The book is the work of J. R. O. Perkins '14 and P. Blackmur '15, the lyrics are composed by D. E. Currier '14 and J. R. O. Perkins '14, and the music by L. G. del Castillo '14 and W. Faulkner '14.

The scene of the plot is laid in a small Sultanate of the Turkish Empire, and it deals with the stirring and humorous adventures of a young American multimillionaire, who is attempting to gain from the Sultan the exclusive purchasing rights of all royal rugs made in the country. After many thrilling events have taken place, including the placing of a death penalty upon his head, the adventurous young American not only corners the Turkish rug market, but wins the hand of the Sultan's daughter.

The production includes eighteen musical numbers, most of them of an Oriental nature accompanied by the dances of the Turkish harem ladies who form the chorus.
