STATE COLLEGE, PA., FEBRUARY 21, 1907 The Thespian Dramatic society has announced that the play selected for presentation this year is “The Brixton Burglary.” This play is a three act comedy especially adapted to production by college men. The original intention of the society was to give a burlesque on one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, but it was found impossible to carry out this idea. Mrs. Hurley, who has instructed the men in their parts for a number of years past, has consented to act in the same capac ity this year. The first performance will be given in the Auditorium shortly be fore the Easter vacation. A short time later, a trip will be taken and performances given at Bellefonte, Johnstown, and Clearfield. The officers of the society, with the ex ception of Prof. Higley, treasurer, are all from the senior class, and are as follows: Newton, president; Partridge, secretary; Smith, man ager; Laird, assistant manager.
