 The high school class of 1907 pre- sented the "up- -date'' Merchant of Venice in a very oreditable manner last night at St. Edwards hall. Will liam would have recognized his plot and most of his characters. but the setting was athletic rather than com- mercial Venice, and proved as amusing as ridiculous. Shylock was the same merciless, grasping old squeezer, and clung as tenaciously to his chance for a pound of football hair as to the original flesh. Antonio ably befriend- ed Bassanio, even to the possible loss of his priceless possession. and Gra- tiano aided and abetted Bassanio, with Nerissa as his reward. The scene between Portia and Nerissa, and the football field were very pleas ing, and Jessioa's elopement and Bassanio's Caesar examination pro- duced much fun. Launoelot's mother appeared in place of his father, and like him was 8 sand blind Gobbo, with an offering for Shylock. Launoe- lot was extremely clever, and contras- ted in the court scene with the regal dignity of the Duke. Each character was equal to his cast, and a large audience was we'll pleased. The farce will be repeated at Memorial hall, Stafford, this evening.
