Summary
will be performed in the original Greek at HARVARD UNIVERSITY, in the SANDERS THEATRE, on the evenings of May 17, 19, and 20. The part of Oedipus will be taken by MR. GEORGE RIDDLE, instructor in Elocution, and the other parts by students of the University. The music for the choruses has been composed for this performance by PROFESSOR J. K. PAINE; and the choral odes will be sung by a dramatic chorus of fifteen students, assisted by a supplementary chorus composed chiefly of graduates, with orchestral accompaniment.
Five hundred tickets for the first performance, at S3.00 each, and eight hundred for each of the other performances, at $2.00 each, will be offered to the public. Each ticket will entitle the holder to a reserved seat.
Of these tickets a number not exceeding 100 for the first evening and 200 for each of the succeeding evenings will be assigned by the committee to persons living in places distant from Cambridge. Applications for these may be made to ME. C. W. SEVER, University Bookstore, Cambridge, and must be received by him on or before March 25. These tickets will be assigned by lot, and adjacent seats (when desired) will be given to each applicant. If more tickets are asked for than can be assigned in this way, the committee will distribute those which are at their disposal to the applicants according to their judgment.
