REHEARSAL OF PLAY HELD UP AS HEN CLUCKS, LAYS BIG EGG

Rehearsals of the Harvard Dramatic Club were thrown in turmoil last night by the wild and victorious cackling of the two hens which are harbored in the washroom of its 13 Holyoke Street headquarters. Francis R. Hart, Jr. '27, author and director of "Straight Scotch," called for silence but got no results. Stage manager Kenneth T. Bird '38 reprimanded the various boards to keep quiet, but was met only with surprised and painful looks.

But the remarks of the author and manager were of no avail. Investigations revealed that one of the two live hens which will be used in the forthcoming production, had presented the club with a large white egg.
