3112 merrhant nf 132nm HThe Merchant of Venice Upeto-Datefi staged by the students of the High School on February 20th, 1912, is a parody on Shake- speare's drama, llThe Merchant of Venice? Bassanio is in love with Portia, and is rejected because accord- ing to her father's will, the man who would marry her must choose from three caskets containing Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil examina- dons Antonio, his friend, borrows for him a pony from. Shylock, the gambler, and gives his bond that if the pony is not returned Within a month, a pound of his hair to be cut off nearest the brain will be the forfeit. Bassanio chooses from the caskets and draws the one containing the Caesar examination. Gratiano confesses his love for Por- iials friend, Nerissa, and she promises to marry him in case Portia end Bassanio are successful. When the governess brings the report that the required average has been made, the two couples are made happy and plan for a double wedding. Bassanio in his excitement forgets to return the Caesar pony. Shylock, in love with his rich ward Jessica, asks her to marry him, but she refuses, so he locks her in the house to prevent her seeing her lover, Antonio. She sends Lancelot Gobbo with a note to Antonio. This angers Shyloek and he tells his friend Tubal that Antonids bond is forfeit. Lanclot Gobbo overhears this conversation and tells Portia and Nerissa, who sets to work to outwit Shylock. After the Duke has informed Shylock of the charge, a young judge, sent from Ballario,appears. The case is tried and the sentence is ila pound of Antonids hair is Shylocklsf' On examination of Antoniols head with an ex- i'ay, no brain can be found. Just at that moment, a mouse runs across the floor of the court room. The young judge and the clerk shriek and spring upon chairs, disclosing their indentity, they being Portia and Nerissa. At Antoniols suggestion, the two couple are married on the spot by the Duke 'of Venice. 40 - u-.;r- : 1.-. :w 7 4d,,bx, kw, WW. 0; .mdmwsm mm on
