The University Dramatic Club in connection with the Union of East and West, an organization of international importance, will present three one-act Hindu plays at Huntington Chambers Hall in Boston tomorrow afternoon and evening at 3 and 8.30 o'clock respectively. These three plays have been produced but once in this country, and but twice in the English language, having won unique successes in London and New York City.
The first two of these plays were written by Sir Rabindranath Tagore, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1918, an award made but twice to English speaking men. "The Farewell Curse" is a poetic playlet of love and duty, which endeavors to develop the idea that learning without love is incomplete. "The Maharani of Arakan" is a romantic comedy, and to those who see below the surface of the allegory there is the lesson of the endeavor of Englishmen and Hindus toward reconciliation.
The third play is "Savitrl" or "Love Conquers Death", a lyrical drama by K. N. Das Gupta and is adepted by him from the Hindu epic "The Mahabharata".
Tickets for the presentation may be purchased at Filene's, Herrick's, or the door.
