He explained that modern students can find much in the works of the immortal writer without an alyzing it too much. Favorite bits from many of the bard’s plays were done before Monday’s informal gathering by Mr. Lytton, but none found more favor with the audience than his portrayal and explanation of the antics of Falstaff, rogue of “Mer ry Wives.’’ Mr. Lytton appeared last year on Broadway as the star of this play.
