YALE PLAY NEXT MONTH
shaw's THE Devils Disciple" To
Be Given at Waldorf.

The Yale University Dramatic Associa-
lion will give its annual winter production
In New York on January 2 and 3 at the
Waldorf Astoria. The play chosen is G..
Bernard Shaw's comedy Of the American
Revolution. The DEVILS Disciple" Rehear-
sails Of three casts. from which the final
cast VIII be selected arc being held daily
IN New Haven, and the manner in which
the students are taking hold of the work
Indicates the wisdom of it's selection as n
college play.
The three casts now rehearsing CORE
spoud tO the first. second and third teams
Of football or baseball squad. They all
90 through the play many times with care
ful coaching and there is much changing
about Of PLAYERS from one cast to another.
Just as i'm football or baseball squad the
best and most promising talent is put on
the first team. Two hundred and forty-five
undergraduates have taken part in the
trials held by the dramatic association.
The DEVILS Disciple has not been seen
for more than ten years, and in that time
the general attitude of the public toward
Shaw has SO altered that a revival of any
Of his earlier plays takes on the flavor Of
new venture. 1t is one Of Shaws best
pieces, from the acting point Of view. I'm
like some of his work, II is almost purely
an acting piece At least he managed in it
10 restrain his tendency to merely clever
dialogue and TO keep his power of epgram
and satire entirely subordinate to action.
The production will open in Rochester on
December % and will be seen in Pittsburgh
Columbus, Indianapolis. Chicago, Buffalo
and New York The associations private
car Forrest will house the actors and "act-
resses' on the trip, while a special baggage
car will carry the scenery and baggage.

never been seen i'm the United States
though it has a record Of 45O times in

World Nine. Simone will be cast for

type Of the Jewish race-an aristocrat
