Campus Spring Play Chinese In Atmosphere ‘The Yellow Jacket’ ^ ill Be Presented At Commencement Mrs. Seybolt Visited Cali fornia to Get Plans Hie V cl low Jacket,” a play f wliicli has had long and successful inns in New York, London, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Petro grad, and Moscow, will be presented late this term on the campus' as the commencement play, according to Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, head of the university drama department. Mrs. Seybolt was in San Francisco last week getting costumes and properties for the forthcoming pro duction. “The Yellow Jacket,” by George t . Hazclton and Benrimo, is a play ill the Chinese manner, and the only full length play of its kind in the English language. It is built in the style of the ancient heroic drama, a style which is still actually used in China today. The plot involves royal characters and intrigue in the royal household centered around a second son who usurps the throne. . Mrs. Seybolt, on her recent visit t° San Francisco, was especially in terested in becoming thoroughly ac quainted with the Chinese theater there. She was invited by one of the Chinese directors to attend some of the performances, and lie ex plained details to her which only those intimately connected with that work understand. Mrs. Seybolt’s interest in the Chinese theater was first aroused when she saw the original produc tion of “The Yellow Jacket” in New \ork. The play was recently re vived in New York by the Coburns .and has just closed after a success ful run.
