Those familiar with French literature will recall that Scribe was the most prolific, prob- ably the most popular, and propor- tionately the most wealthy, play- | wright of Irench literary history. | No Dramatist, hardly any writer of | our time, has accumulated such | wealth. His annual income from | copyrights often reached $30,000. The | play which the Teachers' club | mittee has selected for its initial per- | ! tormance, though written by thel | famous French playwright, is H tially a Russian story, and not French, The action takes place in a small village in Russian Poland, and all | the characters are Russians. | The plot of the play will Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew,” though the shrew will - be tamed in a purely Muscovite fashion. ““A Russian Honeymoon,” though not a problem play by any means, has an underlying serious strain, into which woven much humor. The action takes place partly in a peasant's cob- bling shop. and partly in the drawing room of a wealthy chateau, and thus affords a medium for portraying Russian life among the different classes. The committee in costuming has spent study in an endeavor to have the costumes true to life, and has been fortunate in receiving much help from ! the Russian-Americans living in this | cosmopolitan city. The music inci- dent to the play has also been ar- | ranged by Professor Matthews from ores. A Russian peasant dance has been arranged under the | Girection of Miss Wescott. The stage | properties also have been carefully selected, and many Russian citizens have very generously loaned articles of household furnishings which will preserve the historical accuracy of the | 1ccal color. There are in all about twenty people in the cast, all chosen from the teach- of the city schools, and Pro- | sor Moody., president of the club, lieves that an all-star cast has been | sccured. The play, though admirably adapted for an amateur performance, essen- recall is of the time and charge much | was written for the professional stage, | and had a very | ful run on the m Square theater The Teache club actors have been greatly assisted by the management and several of the individual actors of the Lyceum Stock company.

Undoubtedly the key of these operas, which a fixture in the social life of New Britain, is the inspiring influence of Mrs. Charles .
