Ab0ut Plays
and Players
COMING ATTRACTIONS AT THE
AUDITORIUM.
Brown of Harvard.

Since George AIDE dramatized col
lege football game, it was inevitable
that someone else should see a like
opportunity in other departments of
scholastic life and especially in under
graduate athletics. The expected sur
prise of this capital opportunity fell
to Rida Johnston Young, whose play
Brown of Harvard" a dramatiza-
ton of the college boat. race this time.
will be offered by the Shuberts at the
Auditorium, Wednesday, November
IS, Matinee and night, with James
Young in the title role. The piece
purports to take the life of Harvard
University and to- set it down, COM
plete and veracious before the foot
lights in a manner not only to delight
collegians but also to provide the av-
erage theatre-goer with an agreeable
and enjoyable entertainment.
How successful Mrs. Young has
been in doing this-in vitalizing the
Nndl dClGIlSllC luClutHJo VI SItdl
University into making a great sue
cess, is attested by the long runs in
both New York and Chicago and to re-
peated engagements in all week
stands. The story of the play is
woven about the affairs and fortunes
of the college rowing crew with the
eXcitment of a great race against
an English eight as a string climax.
But although college spirit and youth
full exuberance is pronounced as it's
dominant note, the advance sketch of
the plot indicates that the morals of
collegiate society, good and bad enter
into it a good deal more than the
Harvard regulations-ever intended
they should, part of the story striking
tragic note to which none of the
other great college plays aspire.
