SHAKESPEARE IN
 MODERN FASHION
Second Church Presents The Merchant of Ven=
 ice, 'Streamlined'

The Second Congregational church will present ''The Merchant of Venice" in modern language on February 25 and 26. Many Amer ican children and adults have never learned to appreciate the value of ShakeSpeare's classics, many of them with minds unprepared to as- simulate the formal, somewhat ana lytical presentation generally given. It is quite true, that we are at pres ent having a revival of Shakes peore'S classics, many of them with minds unprepared to aSsimilate the formal, somewhat analytical preSen- tation generally given. It is quite true, that we are at present having revival of Shakespeare's plays in the movies as well as the stage but it Is utterly impossible for most peo- plo to understand the original un- less they consult a glossary due to the stilted language and medevial words.
 Educators feel that if the plays are given in modern language and sinplified form people will appre- ciate the value of the famous dra- matiStS plays and stimulate an in- terest which will lead to a later reading of the original plays them selves. The Second Congregational church has adapted this play in modern version and they feel that this commendable work will be of great importance in the develop ment of Waterbury's citizens intel
