D.U. To Give Presentation Of Early American Drama

Delta Upsilon has this year chosen "The Contrast" by Royall Tyler '76 for its annual theatrical production. The play will be presented in the Chapter House at 396 Harvard Street on March 15, 16, and 17. "The Contrast" is generally referred to as the first American play, since it was the first play to gain anything more than local popularity.

The play is under the direction of F. C. Packard, Jr., assistant professor of Public Speaking. The production staff is headed by Andrew J. Day '34, with Edwin I. Brainard '36 as Business Manager. Grosvenor Proctor '35 will be stage manager, Richard W. Clattenburg '35 has been selected publicity man, and Charles F. Goodale '34 will have charge of the costumes. The cast includes Robert Clement '32, John G. Patterson '35, Shipherd Robinson '36, Richard Morgan, IV '36, John T. Mendenhall '36, Thomas E. Naughten '34, William P. Rockwell '35, Robert S. Hornwell '35, and William H. Jefferys, Jr. '36.
