The play, "Jud Suss" has been chosen for this year's production by the joint Harvard and Radcliffe Menorah Societies, it was announced yesterday. It will be presented in the early part of April.
In "Jud Suss", a dramatization of "Power" by Feuchtwanger, the author depicts the rise and fall of the power of Joseph Suss. At first merely treasurer to the Duke of Wurtemburg, he gradually increases in power until he finally becomes the ruling power behind the throne.
The Menorah Society has been fortunate to secure the services of Professor Glueck, who will direct and coach the production. Under the guidance of Professor Glueck, who has understudied George Arliss and has also written and directed many other productions, the Menorah presentation of "Disraeli" in 1929 met with marked success.
The tryouts for the 12 male and five female roles will be held at 4 o'clock today at the Agassiz theater, where the play will be finally presented.
