LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
Nineteen stage-struck undergraduates made their respective theatrical debuts last night as soldiers, coffin-bearers, and sundry non-speaking characters in the world premiere of Orson Welles' "Five Kings."
The enthusiastic extras were to have received $1.00 a performance for the privilege of serving their muse. However, because of long rehearsals and a special boon by Orson ("Falstaff") Welles, their pay has been raised to $2.00 for each performance and rehearsal.
These men have the opportunity to join the troupe permanently, with the prospect of larger parts next season, but at present the best extra's part is that of a gloomy individual who carries a bier. Among the extras are: Lathrop M. Forbush '39, Lester D. Berger 40, Arnold W. Frutkin '40, Alvin W. Shutzer '40, Peter H. Solomon '40, Waldo H. Stewart '40, John A. Waldo '40, Norman W. Getsinger '41, Kingdon W. Swayne '41, Richard M. Wagner '41, and William H. Lowe '42.
