Delta Upsilon Will Present "The Henrietta" by Howard

The Harvard Chapter of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity will present Bronson Howard's "The Henrletta" on Friday and Saturday evenings, March 11 and 12. On Friday evening the play is to be followed by formal dancing till 2:30 o'clock and on Saturday evening by an informal frolic till midnight.

The D. U. 's are continuing in their tradition of reviving old favorites of one, two, or three centuries back. "The Henrletta," written in 1887, is probably Howard's greatest work. Consistent with his theory that the master theme of America is big business, he brings forth in this play a tragicomedy of the stock-ticker. Trenchant satire aimed at those for whom business is "health, religion, friendship, love" is the core, "The Henrletta" is well above the level of melodrama, and hence there will be no burlesquing of maudlin morality, but rather a serious rendition of serious social comment, on the theme that has since been dwelt upon by Lewis, O'Neill, and others.

The fraternity has a long list of successful performances to its credit.
