Twenty-seven centuries ago when
Rome was looking for a spot Of
excitement, Maccius Plautus, an S
N. Berrman of his day, wrote
comedy called Twin Menaechinix.
Actually, it was called the Latir
equivalent of Twin Menaechini.
1t was designed to be staged in the
great ampitheater of Rome, and il
seems to have been successful
enough to have survived until 1948
At any rate. Twin Menaechini'
will be presented on Friday ane
Saturday nights of this week ir
the ampitheater of the University
of Virginia under the direction Of
Miss Natalie White, whose regular
job is on the faculty Of George
Washington University.
How many subsequent plays have
been modelled upon Plautus' work
is not handy statistic, but one Of
them was Shakespeare's Comedy Of
Errors"
