The Harvard Classical Club will produce the "Philoctetes" of Sophocles on the evenings of March 15 and 17 in the Lowell House dining room, it was announced yesterday. The production will be under the supervision of a faculty committee of which Milman Parry, assistant professor of Greek and Latin, is the chairman. F. C. Packard '20, assistant professor of Public Speaking, will coach the actors, and E. C. Weiss '30, will coach the chorus. The cast will be R. S. Fitzgerald '33, Philoctetes, R. V. Scudder '34, Neoptolomus, H. T. Levin '33, Odysseus, P. L. McKendrick '34, a sailor, J. McG. Bottkul 1G, Heracles, and H. C. Hatfield '33, the leader of the chorus.
Philoctetes, one of the last of Sophocles' works, is the least known, but by no means the least meritorious, of Greek dramas. No records of any performance of it in modern times can be found anywhere.
