ted by Mr, Wayne Toone,

forecast to do the same.

Sidney Howard, is a three-
act comedy. The play will
be put on in-the-round, It is
a true comedy and promises
to be quite humorous.

Bean' first ran on Broadway
in 1932. It was a smashing
success for it well reflected
the times. The play depicts
the hard times which were
experienced during the De-
pression.

New England family who
have, years before, given
refuge to a poor unknown
artist, Chri stopher Bean.

after Christopher's death as
an anxious world pursues
his works which have since
become valuable.

household of an old-time
general practitioner^ Dr.
Haggett, overwhelming him

ant characters in the play
are Dr. Haggett, Mrs. Hag-
gett, and Abby—the maid.

to present the play in its
original time and setting.

umers, and scene designers

ination in creating a period
