Harris doing most of the writing. The idea of the play, was taken from the Cornell Mask. King Pompompus is not a heavy, tiring performance, but as with most good musical comedies, it Is full of variety and humor, a bur lesque presentation of Uncle Tom’s Cabin being given during the course of the play along with a Dancing Girls Chorus and other dancing and musical specialties. The scenery and customs will bo of such splendor that has never been presented before by a • student dramatic organization at Penn State. The scenery especially is entirely the work of the students and the many catchy and clever musical numbers are the products of- the students. The following summary of the play. Is as complete as can bo given before the time of the presentation. The scenes are laid "somewhere” In Mexico, In a province which Is being reigned over by'King Pompompus I during the year 1492. The part of King Pom pompus is enacted by B. N. Knapp '2l and D. V. Bauder '24 takes the place of the • king's queen. The play Itself, is divided into three acts .the first in the audience chamber of .King Pom- IKxnpus and the second in'the Temple of the Sun, the third being divided into two scenes, The Prison of Surdado and the-Temple of the Sun. The notion of Lite play covers a supposed space of time of five days. The play opens with a scene in the Audience chamber of the king. Tho king Is absent on a visit arid the queen'lsi ruling the land with an iron hand.- Tito"king returns finally amid st grent rejoicing of his-people. The next day news comes to tho king that Columbus is about to discover America for tho first time. . Celebrations are ordered by the Icing," in which a scene of Uncle Tom’s Cabin is n part.
