A Unique Old English Play

A Unique Old English Play

Everyman Worthy The Attendance of Everyone

Dr. John S. P. Tatlock Gives Information as to the Play

So the Editor of the Argus:

Sir--I should like to call your attention rather particularly to the English morality play, "Everyman," which will be presented in University hall Saturday next, Nov. 7, at 4 and 8 p.m. The performance lasts about an hour and three-quarters. The price of seats is only a half (or less) what it has been in the East--50 cents for admission and 25 more for a reserved seat; and school children and teachers may obtain admission to the afternoon performance at half price on presenting a certificate of such status. Seats may be reserved on and after Wednesday at Mr. Wahr's book store on State street.

The play is highly interesting from a historical point of view, since it was first performed about the year 1500 and represents a distinct stage in the evolution of the modern drama. But, much more than this, its essential beauty and impressiveness, when it as well put on as it is by Mr. Geet and Mr. Frohman, are as fresh today as they were four hundred years ago. The good taste displayed by the manager is beyond praise, and the actors belonging to the Elizabethan Stage society are of the very best. The success of the play in several large cities last year was very great; and one can easily see that a play which ran for weeks in Boston and Chicago, and which during a three month's run in New York had twice to move into a larger theatre must be a good deal more than merely quaint.

I hope you may be able to draw the notice of your readers to this unique opportunity for seeing the play.

Yours very truly,
JOHN S. P. TATLOCK

Ann Arbor, Nov. 2.
