PRESENT PI ETA PLAY IN CAMBRIDGE TONIGHT

The first Cambridge performance of the Pi Eta Show, "The Late Mr. Kidd", is to be given this evening in the Pi Eta Theatre at 8 o'clock. A few tickets are still available, and will be on sale at the door. The play is based on a selection from a book by Professor W. I. Drinkwater, "Ethnologic Phenomena", in which he mentions the inhabitants of the island of Tambelo, in the Malay Archipelago. These people are the descendants of a pirate colony founded there to prey on the East India trade.

The play opens in the Atlanta, Georgia, home of Professor Dubb, who is connected with the University of Georgia. Professor Dubb is about to set out on an expedition to Tambelo, to investigate the ancestry of the natives, when he is unexpectedly joined by two Yale graduates who have just escaped from the Federal Prison. This upsets his plans considerably, but the party finally succeeds in starting on the expedition, and the scene is shifted to the tropical island of Tambelo. Here the Professor's family meets with various adventures in the form of dancing girls, intoxicating cigarettes, and bandits, but survives them all. In the end everything turns out all right, and the several heroines and heroes make up and live happily ever after.

The book of the play is by W. B. Leach Jr. '21, who takes the part of the hero. The music and lyrics are by L. A. Harlow '23, M. H. Dill 1S.L.A., H. E. Scott Jr. '22, W. L. Cary Jr. ocC., W. A.
