The Jlav chosen to be Jresented Q, i, 6 A l . . 'iii Lr . , . . . . . was Julius Caesar. ' lt is a coincidence that dramatics came into AMQQIJEL being at Georgetown exactly loo years before. The chronicler of the time records show, on July 26, T82I, the students did then Jresent a two-act Jlavlet bv one of the vounff ffraduates. The niece modeled .f . a tw 25 7 after the ' ulius Caesar' of Shakes Jeare, did meet with the auroval of the l 1 l assembled crowd. The Club continued to have its ups and downs through the century as the interest in dramatics waxed and waned. ln looking over the playbills of the previous years it was found that Shakespeare predominated, and hence it was thought fitting that the anniversary should be celebrated with one of his productions. The Rev. XY. Coleman Nevils, Dean of the College, undertook the spon- sorship of the Club and obtained the services of Mr. Charles B. Hanford, a Shakespearean actor, who formerly associated with Barrett, Sothern and Mar- lowe. lt was due chiefiy to Mr. Hanford's able coaching that the play was the success it was. Under the leadership of Charles Q'Byrne The Merchant of Venicem has been given, and at a later date a musical comedy will be produced. eg 19 1 x : Q K x Q x Q 'sits ..- NSN ws Sxgxxs ss hwy Xs WXM Wx 'Q el ' - - , x .
