Plot and Cast of Spanish Play

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The annual play of the Sociedad Espanola will be given this year in Brattle Hall on April 4. The play is "Llovido del Cielo," a comedy in two acts by Senor Vital Aza, a voluminous comedy writer of the middle of the eighteenth century. Rehearsals of the play have been going on for two months, and are now being held twice a week under the direction of the Misses Larramendi, who coached last year's Spanish play.

The presentation of the comedy occupies about an hour. It treats of two poor artists, Pepe and Pepito. Don Manuel returns from Cuba very wealthy, and takes Pepe as his nephew to live with him in his magnificent house. It develops later that Pepito is the real nephew, and just as Pepe and Consuelo, his wife, think they must leave Don Manuel, Pepito arrives and the wealthy uncle keeps them all as his own family. The humor of the play revolves about old Don Cleto, Pepe's father, who uses wrong words, mispronounces, and despite himself is always entangled in the mazes of his vocabulary. His efforts to straighten out his words and sentences are very laughable. The cast of the play is: Pepe,  M. L. Woolman '09 Pepito,  H. W. Packer 1L. Don Cleto,  G. Rivera, Jr., '09 Don Manuel,  E. F. Schwartzenberg 1L. Domingo,  D. N. Robinson '08   F. Bishop '08 Consuelo,  G. E. Hyde '09 Dona Paz,  J. Murdoch, Jr., 1G.
