COMMENCEMENT AT ST. JOSEPH

The Commencement exercises which will be held In the College Auditorium, Wednesday morning, June 17, will be fittingly introduced the previous evening by the rendition of Shakespeare’s play Henry IV. The play has been adapted for College presentation, and we are .modest in stating that an exceptional treat awaits our patrons and friends. The cast has been chosen with utmost care and severe discrimination from a large number of available material. The character of FalStaff especially, Shakespeare’s master creation of the comic, the | embodiment of wit, wisdom and folly, is in the hands of the competent actor, Mr. Otto Muehlenbrink, who leaped into prominence on his very first appearance before the footlights. Henry IV Is a play that appeals to all classes of people, intellectually to the cultured and, perhaps in a higher degree, in its jcomic scenes to everybody. The opportunity to witness a Shakespearian play ’.<k "• 3"i sV TV itlh

does not present Itself often and Shakespeare, when rendered well, even by amateurs, never falls to be interesting and instructive. A cordial invitation, therefore, is extended to all . The play opens at 8:00 p. m., Tuesday, June 16. Admission 25 cents.
