"TWELFTH MGHT" TO BE GIVEN
O.V ELIZABETHAN STAGE.
Special Preparatlona Made for Pro
durtlon to Be Given by Dra
matic Club.
The player's of the Reed College
Drama Club will reproduce the stage
ana manners of Shakespeare s time In
their production of "Twelfth Night'
at Reed College tonight.
In Shakespeare's day the chief in
terest was not in the development of
character, but in "telling a good story."
Shakespeare's plays still show the in
fluence of the old narraive chronicle
and miracle plays. The telling of the
story is not to be interrupted tonight
by 10-minute periods between acts for
tne change of scenery and by the cut
ting out of numerous scenes for which
there is no time to arrange the set
tings. Outside a few necessary prop
erties, there will be no scenes to change
and the action of the play flows on
without let or hindrance.
Scenes may shift Instantaneously
from the seacoast of lllyria to the
most populated districts of the dukal
city of that sunny country with, no
other change than the arrangement of
a tew chairs and the addition of
few highly descriptive phrases thrown
In originally by Shakespeare.
Not only does the Elizabethan stage
oner rare opportunities for continuity
in the Shakespeare play, but it allows
the introduction of the poetic soliloquy.
The Reed players have obtained al
most all of the melodies for the beau
tiful songs and merrv tunes of "Twelfth
Night" from the original Elizabethan
compositions of Shakespeare's time.
BOYS, WATCH SHARP NOW!
"Prexy" Lays Trap for You, So Quit
"Swiping" Those Things.
To prevent, if possible, loss of cloth
ing, money and other valuables from
the lockers in Lincoln high school.
Principal T. T. Davis yesterday inaug
urated a scheme that he considers will
be eff-jctive.
Nine boys have been named to take
their places in the halls during their
study periods and question all those
who appear in the hails between bells.
The boys are so stationed that they
command full view of all the lockers,
and students must have passes from
their registration teachers before they
are allowed to go from one room to
another.
Many articles have been taken from
Lincoln high lockers. Mr. Davis
thought it best to take this measure.
