LOUIS IN «mHES COMMENCEMENT PLOY • : FORMER KING OF-FRA^CE SAYS “BOURGEOIS GENTlLHOM:. ME” IS ‘Bfc&T EVER” \ . • ’ • Class in Dramatic Interpretation Will Produce Moliere’s Cohiedy at Skinner’s Butte Amphitneatre By Mandell Weiss. “You have never written anything which amused me more, and your play is excellent,” was the commendation which King Louis XIV bestowed upon Moliere after witnessing the perform ance of the Bourgeois Gentilhomme (The Shop Keeper Turned Gentle man), bn November 23, 1670, at Chambord. This play also found favor with the members of the Drama Guild, who have selected it for the commencement production to be given by the class in Dramatic Interpretation at the pic turesque amphitheatre on the north slope of Skinner’s Butte. The play calls for an extra large cast, special designed cpstumes and scenery, and Professor Reddie stated that no time and expense will be spared in making this production rival “King Lear,” last year’s offering. A noteworthy feature will be found in the dancing element which the au thor, at the .time of writing his playr, was obliged to introduce in order to gain the patronage of the king, but he has done this in a way to make the occasion, in almost every instance, extremely plausible. Dr. Bertha Stu art will assume charge of the terpsi chorean element. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme is a comedy in five acts. It was first act ed by Moliere (Jean Baptiste Poque lin) and his company before Louis XIV and his court at Chambord, on October 14, 1670, and on November 2<f of the safrfe year. It was after the second performance that the king paid the high tribute to the author. ° When the play was afterward pro duced in Paris, the Bourgeois were good humored enough to laugh at what °each was convinced were the weaknesses of his peighbor, and the play has evei* since been considered one of the most mirth-provoking plays ever written. Moliere acted the part of Jourdain, the Bourgeois, and his wife Nicole, the servant. ° 0 Moliere’s plays are especially noted for their universality; almost any one of them might be produced in modern costume and in modern setting, with out in the least affecting the spirit. He is a master of construction, and his adherence to the three units of time, place and action, is renowned. The play is an appropriate finale if the most successful dramatic sea son in the annals of the University. The cast will be announced by Pro fessor Reddie soon.
